Thanks to librarian Christy Angell's hard work on our Scholastic Book Fair, our entire sixth grade had the opportunity to participate in a Storyvoice event, a free interactive author visit. The event featured New York Times bestselling author Max Brailler. He talked about his series, The Last Kids on Earth, and answered student questions. šŸ“–šŸ“–šŸ“– #tongienation #usd464

TMS loves to read! Some of our book clubs read The Wild Robot. After everyone finished the book, we had a Wild Robot movie party, complete with pizza, popcorn & drinks! The discussions that followed were filled with excitement. It was a great way for students to engage with literature and analyze storytelling; plus, who doesn't love a movie day after school?! #tongienation #usd464
