January is Reading Month@the Hill!

January is Maryland Reading Month and guess what? You are already participating if you are reading this blog! Please support our reading month efforts by letting your kids observe you reading. Whether it is a book, the newspaper, or a magazine…it's very important that they know that you read, too! The following are podcasts of some of our AWEsome students telling about their favorite books. These book reviews have also been pre-recorded on video and will be shown on our MHTV newscast throughout the month. Enjoy and feel free to leave comments about YOUR favorite book! Happy Reading! ~Ms. Jones, Library Media/Technology Specialist
