8th Grade Check Outs and SRI’s
Last week 8th graders came in to take their first SRI (Reading Inventory) tests on the computers and to check out books for the first time this year. In fact most all classes will be in, in the next 2 weeks for the same thing. So my question for you is, what did you check out? One group of 8th grade boys took William Sleator’s book The Beasties. It is a great book that blends the weird with adventure and suspense. The classics were also popular with a lot of Jane Austen’s book going out, and many, many students took books with multiple copies so they could read the same thing as a friend. So what are you reading? Why did you choose what you did? Send us a comment and let’s get the conversation about books started!
And PS: We loved those gold shoes one of the 8th graders had on!

September 19th, 2007 at 4:06 pmHey! I am reading right now The Key To The Golden Firebird and it is really good so far. I think it will still be great till the end. It is about 3 sisters who’s dad dies and their life gets out of control. But everything changes when they find the key to their dads old golden firebird(a car). (edited for grammar)

September 27th, 2007 at 8:04 pmOne of the best books I have ever read was Chasing Redbird. It has the best ending and is one of those books that really make you think. I would recomend it to anyone! Another good book that I read was Road Block. It was so good and was really sad.
October 1st, 2007 at 6:51 pmwow i scored really high on my SRIs! 1532!!
October 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pmI read a dogs life, and am a dog lover, so I was epecting to ove it, but it turned out (IMHO) to be sort of boring.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:00 pmOne of the best books I ever got from this media center (not including long extensive series,then I could go on forever!) was Tangerine. Really great.
Just thought of this, IMHO stands 4 In My Humble Opinion.
