Who's reading Tess this summer?

If you have read one of her books (or more) and are "lurking" and/or posting in this summer community read forum just hit reply and tell us who you are and what grade level you teach (or what type of job you have if you're not a teacher). It would be fun to know who's reading. And I'm sure Tess would enjoy that information as well as it may help her plan for her address at the Oct. 9th MSTA annual conference.

Thanks!
Mary

I'll start. I'm Mary Dunn and will be starting a new position this fall teaching 4th grade. I'm very interested in linking science and literacy! Although I don't think I'll use Gravity or The Bone Garden with my 4th graders!

I'm Dawn Pray and I am the 7th/8th grade science teacher at Katahdin Middle/High School in Stacyville. This is my 5th year of teaching and I am very excited to read more of her books- I am currently reading The Surgeon after getting hooked through The Bone Garden. I am also very excited to get reconnected with Mary, since she was my mentor who brought me to the NSTA conference in St. Louis...remember the cramped quarters going to the top of that arch?

Hi Dawn! I thought that was you! Yes, that trip to the top of the arch was a great experience. What a view and what a great trip.
