Book Club

Our fifth grade book club met for the last time today. We discussed The Old Willis Place by Mary Downing Hahn. Some students were doubtful that they would like a ghost story, but all were won over by the book once they read it. This group of students has been a joy to work with, and I will truly miss them next year. Their love of reading inspires me!
