Stories from Deep in the Heart completed a semester residency in Ms. Karydas' enrichment class and last Friday we listened to the final stories. The students successfully crafted audio documentaries about Martin Middle School and the surrounding neighborhood. Topics ranged from volleyball to ghosts, to Flea Markets-the students were surprised when they realized Ms. Karydas had invited the principal along with several other classes to the "listening" party. Full-Library and all we wrapped up another semester of Stories!
