Middle School Students Treated to Book Tasting

Western Wayne middle school students in Ms. Starlah Robbins English Language Arts classes were treated to a book tasting this week during class time.  The students got to sample a variety of new books to see what new flavor of reading sparked their interest.  The students were thrilled to get to experience so many new books at once, and many chose a new story to start reading for class assignments and for pleasure! The classroom was decorated as a sort of book café with table cloths and other trimmings, and Robbins herself dressed as book chef to make the atmosphere fun.  Ms. Robbins hopes to do more engaging activities of this nature in the future, and the students are looking forward to it as well!
