A New School Year

Welcome back to Slater. We are now Slater Middle School and we welcome the new 6th grade students and teachers! Here's to a great new year.

If you have any good books to recommend, please let me know.

I just read.......

 Cameron B. lent it to me and I finished it last weekend. This is the first YA book that has made me cry in a long time. Now I want to read all of his other books, especially Looking for Alaska. If you want a great read that will warm your heart and make you shed some tears, check out John Green's books.

A New Book by the author of Smile

After reading and loving Smile, the graphic novel by Raina TelgeMeier, I was so excited when I saw this book at my local library. I had to buy it for the students at Slater. I read it over the weekend and loved it. I didn't love it as much as Smile, but it was a great story about a middle school girl who loves theater productions. She dreams about becoming a stage hand for a Broadway show, and becomes involved in her school's spring musical. It also goes into all of the crazy stuff that middle school kids deal with like mean girls, romance and friendship. I highly recommend this book. It's a quick read and the artwork is fantastic.
