During March is Reading Month, our middle school holds a door decorating contest. It is my pleasure to announce the winners for this year.
TOP DOOR award goes to the 8th grade students in Mrs. K.'s Art class!
 |
| Hope you guessed that the mystery genre behind this door is FANTASY! |
MOST CREATIVE/ORIGINAL award goes to Mrs. H.'s split 5th and 6th grade class!
 |
| This door incorporates many facts about the rainforest, making its genre nonfiction, informational text. |
|
BEST IN GENRE award goes to Mrs. T.'s 5th grade homeroom!
 |
| This door's genre shouldn't be a mystery! |
ADHERENCE TO THEME award goes to the 7th graders in Mrs. P.'s language arts class!
 |
| The 7th grade class incorporated legends into our dairy inspired "Got Books?" Reading Month theme. They even added some samples of student writing! |
There was certainly some hard work and time put into making these doors into awesome showcases of genre. Way to go! Below you can also see some honorable mentions.
 |
| A fairy tale themed door from 8th graders in Mrs. R.'s math class. (Don't you love a math teacher who encourages literacy?!) |
 |
| Some historical fiction represented by the 6th graders in Mrs. G.'s homeroom. |
 |
| The 6th graders in Mrs. H's room took a multi-genre approach! |
 |
| This is the SOLS for March 13, part of a blogging challenge inspired by Two Writing Teachers. I missed a couple days but I am back at it now! |

What a great idea. I just might pitch it to our staff for next year! Thanks for giving us a peek into your middle school. My favourite door? The nostalgic look back to the 1970s.
