Capstone Interactive eBooks on the Media Center Website

Today I added a new resource to our Media Center eBooks Page. It's called Capstone Interactive. Consider viewing this screencast on accessing these interesting books.

Hope you enjoy this new resource for eBooks!

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas--Booktalk by Ms. Sherman

I love, love, love the ELA teachers I work with at Clarke Middle School. I was super lucky to have Ms. Frederking send me her booktalk, and now Ms. Sherman has sent me one on the book she just finished up reading. If you have not read it yet, get a copy of On the Come Up by Angie Thomas and read it now. I enjoyed this book as much as Ms. Sherman did. Angie Thomas announced her new book will be coming out next year and it's a prequel to The Hate U Give, so get pumped up to read more Angie Thomas soon. Watch the video below to hear Ms. Sherman talk about this book.
