Yakkety-yak

I love 7th graders. Every day they file into Room 103; I squawk at them "Do you have your BOOKS?!?". They sit down, and they read. Save a very few that I have yet to get my claws into...they are READING. They are reading the Maximum Ride series. They are reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. They are reading the Alex Rider series. They are reading the Twilight series. They are READING. And it fills my heart with even more literacy love.

Thank you, Class of 2014. It's been fun to read with you, discuss books, and talk about how to help you become even strong readers. We are going to have a super year.

By the way, I've been talking up some great books recently. Here's an abbreviated list:

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Burn Journals by Brent Runyon
Full House edited by Pete Hautmann
Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer
Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt

But that's my measly list. You need to talk to the 7th graders at OGMS if you are looking for a good book. They'd know. They are readers.

So proud to be a Husky Reader,
Stenson

p.s. It's great to hear from former students. I smile every time I hear from you, so please, keep me updated on what you are reading. It feels familiar to see your names pop up. Love it.
