Lastly, I keep high interest titles to put out for the book swap I organize:)Hope this helps!MelissaMelissa ThomBristow Middle School Media SpecialistWest Hartford Public SchoolsBristow Library Learning Commons Webpage: blog.whps.org/bristowlibrarylearningcommonsFollow us on Twitter: @bristowllcIntermediate Nutmeg Selection Committee Member--2017Google Certified EducatorGoodReads MemberRecord what you love about school libraries on this flipgrid: https://flipgrid.com/6ba908Password: JoyfulteachlibCurrently Reading: The Epic Fail of Aurturo Zamora by Pablo CartayaRenegade Leadership: Creating Innovative Schools For Digital-Age Students by Brad GustafsonScar Island by Dan Gemeinhart (audio)No More Fake Reading: Merging the Classics with Independent Reading to Create Joyful, Lifelong Readers by Berit GordonRecently Finished: Posted by John David AndersonRosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters: The Questioneers Book #1 by Andrea BeatyI Survived the Hindenburg Disaster, 1937 (I Survived #13) by Lauran TarshisThe Last Fifth Grade of Emerson Elementary by Laura ShovanForest World by Margarita EngleHacking Literacy: 5 Ways to Turn Any Classroom into a Culture of Readers by Gerard DawsonPoet X by Elizabeth Acevedo***LOVEDOn Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 11:36 AM Nicole Herget <nherget@branfordschools.org> wrote:Hello CASL!I am hoping you can assist.
