All
current 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students are invited to participate
in the 7th annual Summer Reading Program -- Dive Into Reading. 5th
grade classes and 6th and 7th grade ELA are visiting the IMC from
June 2nd through June 9th to learn about the program and kick off
their summer reading by checking out up to 5 paperback books for the
entire summer. Our Summer Reading Program consists of keeping a
Reading Log of everything they read from magazine articles to graphic
novels to ebooks and beyond -- as long as it is at least one page of
text. Summer reading does not have only come from Lakeview books.
Anything goes! Reading Logs are due on September 2nd. Then I will
conference with every student who turns in a Reading Log and award
prizes. While our prizes cannot compete with public libraries' and
online programs' prizes, I think the students will enjoy their
choices. Copies of the Summer Reading Program are currently available
in the IMC. Once summer vacation starts, they will be online on the
Lakeview Library webpage.
Since
we have quite a large paperback collection, we offer students the
opportunity to check out up to 5 paperback books for the entire
summer. These books are due September 2nd, just like the Reading
Logs. Unfortunately the IMC is not open during the summer so once the
school year has ended, students will not be able to exchange their
books for others. A box will be placed between the main doors of
Lakeview for students who want to return their books early. I am in
and out throughout the summer so I can check in any books returned to
the box.
Also
watch for my special summer blog where I talk about the books I am
currently reading and invite students to comment on my choices and
make suggestions of other titles I should read. Keep reading alive
through the summer with out Dive Into Reading Program.
