A Visit to Somewhere New--Central Middle School
The media specialist at Eastern used to work at Central. She told me that I really need to hear Judy Peterson give her booktalks. So, she set it up that I can go to Central today.
The first booktalk consisted of several "good reads". The students were all very much engaged similarly to how I have seen at Eastern.
The environment is beautiful where the booktalks take place, separated from interferences yet open to the windows.
The media specialist here is on a great level with the students. She is has a perfect level of comfort with them. It is nice to see that. I know she has many years of experience at this institution.
I saw four different groups of students hear Mrs. Peterson give booktalks on several books each class. She invited students to join her in the telling of different books. Students like to tell her when they have read a certain book. She was truly amazing that she could talk about 6-7 books per class!
Students were laughing and she had a great time with them and they listened well to her.

Hearing a great booktalker can be very motivating.. and you had that experience with Judy Peterson!!!
She was motivating and inspiring. It was also nice to see yet another middle school. I have been at Stamford's AITE, Greenwich's Eastern and Central Middle Schools, and Middlebrook Middle School in Wilton. All have been different and valuable experiences!
