• Summer Reading Announcements 2012-2013
Week of May 14th
Last week we all made summer reading goals. You also had the chance to hear what some of our staff members plan to do for summer reading. This week, we want to share with you some of the GREAT books that are out there. Be thinking about books that you might want to add to your summer reading list!
Mrs. Yates said the best book she’s ever read was, Julian’s Glorious Summer. Sounds like a great summer read! Mrs. Baxter recommends that you get your hands on a Hoosier book this summer! Mrs. Lee reminds us that it’s important to simply find something that is interesting to you this summer. The White Giraffe and The Last Leopard by Lauren St. John is great duo to read over the summer. Thanks for the suggestion Mrs. Parker.
