Day 3 was Title Talk Day and our campers did not disappoint. Unfortunately there were just too many great books to possibly share here. If you search the hashtag #nerdcampnne2021 on Twitter you could find some of the tweets. The Facebook thread link is below.
The final day of camp was a day for campers to share "One Little Thing" that they plan to try, change, elevate, or study this school year that they felt would impact their practice.
