The Valley's Biggest Book Club

What happens when over 650 students are on summer vacation? At Wood River Middle School, students read at least one book in either English or Spanish.
 
Students at Wood River Middle School held the Wood River Valley's biggest book club meeting last Friday to discuss their summer reading choices. Every teacher led a book group discussion about the books on the summer reading list. The discussions were lively and students were animated as they delved into various book topics.
 
Organized by teacher librarian Susan Tabor-Boesch, the purpose of the book club is to help students learn that reading is fun and can also be a social activity. "I'd like to thank our public libraries and local book stores for helping students access the books on the summer reading list," said Tabor-Boesch.

Teachers and students in the Blaine County School District are gearing up for the transition to Common Core State Standards. Idaho chose to join other states in developing these standards for English language arts and mathematics. Common Core State Standards, known in Idaho as the Idaho Core Standards, are part of the goals and expectations our state has adopted for all other subject areas, like science, social studies and fine arts.
