Message from Ms. Clark:
There’s nothing like a good book... especially in the summer!
Students will be receiving their summer reading lists this week
in advisory. Each grade level has a slightly different assignment; all assignments will be due Tuesday, September 15 in
Seminar. We all, adults and students at all grade levels, share
a common list of summer reading books. In the third week of
September we will have literature discussion circles based on
the books we choose to read from the list.
I am proud of the students who have taken leadership roles
as Lit Circle Leaders. They helped to choose the books on the
list and will be leading discussion circles in the fall. I am also
proud of the students who are doing our Summer Reading
program at BAA. Not only will these students get their summer
reading assignment done, they will be improving their reading skills. Many upperclassmen have told me Summer Reading is one of the best experiences they’ve had at BAA.
Have a great week everyone and happy reading!
