Our 4th graders took a trip to Mrs. Shaw & Ms. Peden's Book Café" today for a "Book Tasting"! 🤗📚
Students traveled to each table to find a different genre. They selected a book, rated their first impression of the story, and decided whether or not it was something that they would like to continue reading in the future. 📖📕 #WeAreVan





Mrs. Hale's 2nd graders are reviewing their place value skills from last year!! ✏️💯🔢





Instead of “binging” a Netflix show, 9th and 10th graders in Mrs. Richardson's English class are “binging” short stories! 📚🤩
Students rotated around the room previewing six different short stories with their groups before picking one to annotate and study! 📝
