DMS Summer Reading
Incoming 6th graders are all reading Restart by Gordon Korman. Read, enjoy and return to school ready to have a discussion with your peers about the topic of standing up for others. You can also choose to read MORE. (If students lost the paper that came with their book, here is the
Restart document). We want kids to keep track of their thoughts while reading. We also suggest creating a plot diagram (but it's just a suggestion!).
