NEW AR QUIZZES

During the last two weeks the IMC has been busy with inventory and MAP testing so working on getting new books ready for checkout has not happened. However the 7th grade did come to checkout books from the list of new Accelerated Reader quizzes. In preparing a display to assist the students in their selections, I realized how many great books we have added to the AR database this year. Here's just a few examples:

Humorous: The Curtain Went Up, My Pants Fell Down by Henry Winkler; Science Fair by Dave Barry
