I encourage the habit of pleasure reading by providing my students with  a robust and diverse classroom library!  If you would like to help keep my shelves stocked, please click here and purchase a book from my Amazon wish list. These will be sent directly to PDCMS and will immediately be available to eager 8th grade readers.   I read lots of new YA books each year attempting to find books that appeal to all readers.  Please read the list of why we read below.  This philosophy fuels my practice as a teacher!
