Thank you to all who came out to our mini BLACK WEDNESDAY BUT FOR BOOKS to celebrate our 9th year of Smacking. Though most of you chose to smack in the comfort of your own schools conversations around teachers, students and books were full of opinions and different tastes as they should be.
Every year is a reminder of how much great YA and middle year material is out there and how we must bring choice to our classrooms. What a reader likes is varied and all reading experiences are made better with conversation.
Congratulations to The 57 Bus as it garnered enough votes to take the crown this year...hopefully no vengeful dragon is coming for Dashka Slater.
Early next school year you will hear from us again to invite you to the TEN LITTLE YEARS edition of the MIGHTY SMACKDOWN.
May your Summer be full of reading opportunities, even if it means lying to everyone about a chore, leaving the house and reading in your car. That mighty seem like a very specific plan because it is and it works.
Dia and Arlene
