Summer Reading Summer Selfies! A s a fun way to kick off our excitement over a year-long community reading project, we invited everyone to send us their “summer reading summer selfie” from anywhere on the globe. We’ve been posting them on Instagram and Facebook, with great participation from all folks in our community — teachers and students alike! Books were read over the summer, but we’ll talk about them all year. We’ll be sharing more as this new model takes shape. There are a lot of additional stories and photos about this selfie contest and more on our blog: www.csw.org/blog

The fellows participated with an integrated studies class (math and visual arts) – Ordering Chaos — working alongside students and their teacher mentors throughout the first mod, culminating in a final presentation of a “Learning Self-Portrait.”
