📚 Literacy in Action!
Learning looks a little different when students are deeply engaged in what they read! In Mrs. Payne’s 9th-grade class and Mrs. Van Devender’s 10th-grade class, students are connecting with their books in meaningful and engaging ways.
From thoughtful Socratic Seminars to outdoor book clubs, students are sharing ideas, asking questions, and building a deeper understanding of the texts they read. These experiences encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and a love for reading - while giving students a voice in the conversation.
It’s inspiring to see literacy come to life in such creative ways!
