We did a project in Ms. Kaizens class [6th grade ELA] where we were in
a book club and then did a project. I created a book cover and a friend
of mine made a board game to represent the book. It was really fun
and it helped us learn about our book and the books other groups were
reading. - Current 6th grader

knowing that we can be ourselves.
