This year Mrs. Donnelly (thanks to a co-worker) is formally encouraging her students to read independently. The goal is to finish one book per quarter. Many students are embracing the opportunity and the result is this jar full of books her students have finished. Other side effects include students discovering or re-discovering that they kind of enjoy reading, and students tackling classics like The Lord of the Rings and The Odyssey. Mrs. Donnelly is very impressed with these results and hopes her students continue to impress her with their reading. She is also hoping to finish her own book sometime soon!
