Waving goodbye to 2020 + Preparations

What a year it's been.  We'll be back in 2021 with a school-wide read that won't surprise anyone.  In preparation for reading a book together across so many sites while in fully-remote-mode, my colleagues Claudio Leon and Jamila Abdulrashid are making magic happen:  converting hardcovers (contraband) to softcovers (not-contraband) for our secure students for winter gifting.  

We are wishing you a good break from whatever you're getting a break from!--Jessica Fenster-Sparber

Stress-free e-reading


 


We are happy to share that some of students' favorite stress free reads are now available on Sora, thanks to Literacy for Incarcerated Teens (LIT). Students can now lose themselves in the cuteness of Boo, the wonderment of the Power of Birthdays, the inspiration of Kwame Alexander's life lessons, and the hilarity of joke books.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
