  • Maniac Magee
    Maniac Magee BY Jerry Spinelli Summary ….…. ………………………………2 About the Author……………………… .. 3 Book Reviews………………………… ……. 5 Discussion Questions……………… ….. 6 Author Interview……………………… …. 8 Further Reading……………………… ….. 9 SUMMARY _______________________________ He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today kids talk about how fast he could run; about how he hit an inside-the-park "frog" homer; how no knot, no matter how snarled, would stay that way once he began to untie it. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West Side. He was special all right, and this is his story, and it's a story that is very careful not to let the facts get mixed up with the truth.

  • Fifth Grade Summer Reading List for School Year 2021-22
    Rising Fifth Grade Summer Reading List for School Year 2021-22 Mandatory Book for all rising fifth graders this summer to discuss at the beginning of the year: Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler E.L. Konigsburg Level S Bored with her life, twelve-year-old Claudia Kincaid is ready for a big change. In fact, she wants to run away from home. But she doesn't like discomfort. She doesn't even like picnics. So an old-fashioned, knapsack kind of running away is out of the question. Instead of running from somewhere, she decides to run to somewhere, some place comfortable, and preferably beautiful. Where else, but the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City? Fare on the train from the suburbs takes three weeks of skipping hot fudge sundaes. Taking Jamie, the second youngest of her three brothers, the quiet one with the largest cache of money with her, Claudia's life is immediately changed in a big way. Nights she and Jamie take baths in one of the museum's fountains and they sleep in royal beds in the museum's collection, despite the "Please do not step on the platform" sign. Every day they check out by 4:30 and reenter the museum around the back at 5:30. To remain inconspicuous, Claudia and Jamie join school- group tours by day, and when the museum closes, stand on the toilets in the bathroom stalls out of view from the guards checking for strays. But she and Jamie's vacation from their "real" life turns into an adventure when Angel, a sculpture rumored to have been carved by Michelangelo, arrives.

  • Happy Reading!!!!
    2018 RMAE Incoming 6th Grade Summer Reading Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen 6th grade Language Arts Please read a minimum of three books to prepare for 6th grade Language Arts. Summer reading should be a fun, exploratory activity! Instead of giving you a detailed list of books, you are being asked to find books on your own. Try reading authors or genres you haven’t read before, or catch up on your favorite authors. The only rule is that you MUST READ BOOKS YOU HAVE NOT READ BEFORE and the books you read must within your Lexile range (reading level). Feel free to speak with a library or bookstore representative for assistance. Your book choices may include: Where the Red Fern Grows, Schooled, Number the Stars, A Wrinkle in Time, Bridge to Teribithia, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, Little Women, The Secret Garden, The Westing Game, Sounder, Island of the Blue Dolphins, Tuck Everlasting, Anne Frank, All Creatures Great and Small, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Call of the Wild, and Holes. If you studied something in history over the past year or so that you found interesting, see if there are nonfiction books in that subject—usually there are! Read more about World Lakes, The Age of Exploration, The Renaissance and Reformation England in the Golden Age, The Geography of the United States, Westward Expansion Before the Civil War, and Native Americans and Westward Expansion: Cultures and Conflicts. Visit Hearth Fire Bookstore (Evergreen) or the library and see what catches your eye. Read THREE books. ONE of your three books must be nonfiction (this includes biographies, autobiographies, personal narratives, and memoirs).
