    The Percy Jackson series
    In both 4th and 5th grade, I had a teacher named Ms. Deaton. In her class, we would always sit down on the carpet and listen to her read a chapter every couple of days. Throughout the two years, we listened to her read 6 out of the 8 books in the series
  • 4th grade presentations

    4th grade presentations

  • My first book

    My first book
    My first book was Holes by Louis Sachar. I chose it at the time because we always set time aside to read in my English class in sixth grade and I grew up watching the movie, so I thought it would be a good read.
  • Son

    Son
    In seventh grade, I read the book Son by Lois Lowry. I remember reading The Giver by the same author as a class a couple years ago and I liked it pretty well, so I thought that it would be a good book to read.
