Eighth graders took part in their annual “Book Tasting” event, lead by librarian Ms. Hamm. Students first took a reading inventory to reflect on the aspects of a “perfect” choice book. Then students moved through various tables and had the chance to sample various literary delicacies, from graphic novels, to historical fiction, romance, science fiction, and nonfiction, while listening to classical music. This event helps students get a “taste” for a wide variety of genres, and builds excitement for the independent reading units that the class will tackle over the school year. Delicious!
