There's a quiet buzz in our library this morning. 4th graders from Mrs. Mancuso's class just arrived and are book shopping. It's nice to hear students talking about books, "you should read Hatchet, it's a really good book." Overheard: "Why do they shave the dog's legs like that?" referring to the Lowchen breed of dogs. "Who's your favorite character in Dark Life?" Students are recording their DCF books, collaborating on book reviews, commenting on classmate blog posts, browsing the shelves and baskets, and best of all... cozying up with a book, individually or in small groups, in the many spaces in our library learning center. A few students were so excited to share they got a bit loud, but they settled down nicely. I'm so proud of our students!
