Barnes and Noble and the University of Missouri

We had a wonderful field trip today. We spent the morning browsing books at Barnes & Noble. We set summer reading goals and all got new books. We spent the afternoon on MU's campus working on goal setting (including audacious dreams) and, of course, reading our new books. We finished up the day at Shakespeare's pizza. Below are some snaps and quotes from our fantastic day.

 "It was a fantastic field trip, amazing". Thomas

"{Now I} have another goal to read this book. I found a book that looks really exciting." Hyoeun

"{I got to} choose a book which I liked best in the store. This was a meaningful and interesting field trip because it gave us the passion to read. It was like an adventure to literature." Fang Fei 

"Mrs. Weaver, I feel like you trust us by letting us go do all this fun stuff. MU was amazing and a great place to read." Kelsey

"To be honest, I wasn't going to read any book over the summer, but now I have something I like to read. We should have field trips more often." Jasman
