Mrs. Toler's 5th Grade classes took part in a book tasting this week. They joined Mrs. Wortman in the media center and were able to visit each "dinner" table to sample books and take notes in their menus. The students really "ate it up." They were so engaged and inspired that the 5th grade team treated their students to popsicles at recess to help motivate and reward them for their hard work!
