A Sneak Peak at What's Ahead...

 Reading    

We recently finished reading Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl. This realistic fiction novel takes us to Mica High where the free-spirited new student, Stargirl Caraway, changes everything---especially for the main character and narrator, Leo, who is drawn to her unique personality. This book has a lot of powerful messages for middle-schoolers and leads to great discussion. I think the students found that they could connect to the story in many ways.

Students are currently working on a Stargirl culminating project selected from our choice board. I look forward to seeing all of the great connections to this wonderful novel in the work of my sixth graders.

 There will be a novel study skills assessment connected to the Stargirl on Friday, February, 3, 2012.
