We are in the homestretch! My summer vacation plans always include lots of reading! Most summers my goal is to average one book per day of break. This includes picture books, graphic novels, early chapter books, middle grade, young adult, and adult books. I try to read a variety of genre and then make sure I order the awesome ones for the library!<br />
<br />
What is your summer reading goal?<br />
<br />
<i>Research shows that students (and parents!) who read throughout the summer continue to grow academically. Those who do not read can lose up to three months of academic growth! </i><br />
<br />

Our very own Murray Weaver, All School band teacher, was featured in the South Bend Tribune. Mr. Weaver's classes use the program Smart Movie to help students practice. Students are then assessed by the program and it alerts them to what they need to work on!<br />

Friday, we kicked off our Third Annual One Book, One School reading!<br />
Students got to spend 15+ minutes reading as part of our Friday Reads initiative!<br />
<br />
We will have daily trivia questions, weekly selection quizzes, several game shows, some minute to win it games, and a Battle of the Book. This year we will also culminate with an author visit! So exciting!<br />
<br />
<br />

Here are some pictures of students enjoying this book:<br />

8th Graders had mixed reactions to this one. My reluctant readers seemed to really like it and my avid readers gave it about 3.5. We'll see how this group reacts.<br />

7th graders are still in a flux as I try to decide how to make this work. I've recruited two teachers to help me out and we divided the group into 3 smaller groups. One group is reading The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, one will read Grave Mercy by RL LaFevers and one will read Hero by Mike Lupica. As soon as books arrive, we will start our club!</div>
