Teen Reads November '19
Flushing Camplus Libraries, E. Bayer, Librarian
Spooky Read Aloud was a Great Success
Special thank you to Ms. Rios' and Ms. Aguilar's Spanish students for participating. Students presented original poetry to their peers and participated in think, pair and share writing activities about fear. All responses were in Spanish. The students were most afraid of: death, Halloween and what it brings, the future. being in love, having too much happiness and real life. They were surprised about hearing each others' fears.
Thank you to Junior Juarez, Carlos Gamez, Gerson Claros, Jhonatan Pirca and Vikotria Pavlova-Carpio for sharing meaningful answers.
Students also borrowed some books from the Spanish collection.
