I am counting down the days until the Hunger Games movie comes out in Theaters. I can't wait! I think it would be really cool if we could get a big group of students together to go see it on its opening night at one of the local theaters, and then have a discussion about book vs movie the next day or week....Have you read The Hunger Games yet? If you haven't make sure you do, because it is a fantastic book. We have 3 copies of it, so stop by my desk and see if it is available!
Make sure you read it before you see the movie, so you can give it a complete critique!

Well it's been a while, and though I'm not sure how much time I'll find to write here, I'll make more of an effort from now on to post more regularly. This week we are celebrating Teen Read Week with a Poster Contest, and a Mad Hatter's Tea Party. This week we also have special guest, local Illustrator Irene Flores, and guest speaker, student author Melinda Marchiano. The week's events culminate with the poster contest judging and winners being announced on the Quad on Friday, October 17th! I am so excited to share Teen Read Week with the school this year, and am overwhelmed by the support of our fantastic staff and students. I can't wait to offer more amazing events like this in the future! |
