What book has kept YOU up all night?

Friday Reads - Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

We've instituted a new Friday schedule here at Discovery Middle School. As part of our literacy initiative, we've set aside 30 minutes each Friday morning to read. That's everyone! Friday Reads helps us show the children that we are committed to building a culture of literacy here at DMS!

One cool idea, from Mr. Howard, is to post a cover image from Google Books.  I'm posting the QR code for my book!  Use a qr code app, like Red Laser, and scan the code.  It will take you to all of the information on Google Books!
