  • Summer Reading Book Recommendations for EACMSI Junior Level the Junior Level Library Is Organized Into Five Categories. We Talk
    Summer Reading Book Recommendations for EACMSI Junior Level The Junior Level Library is organized into five categories. We talk to the children about how the process of learning to read is like the process of becoming a butterfly. Everyone starts learning the sounds of letters and slowly morphs until they can read big and complicated books with ease. Everyone makes this metamorphosis at their own pace. The most important thing is to keep practicing reading by choosing books that are “just right” for the reader. The first step on this path is with reading books we call “Emergent Readers.” These are often short books with lots of phonetic words and early sight words. Some of these books are smaller chapter books. The next four steps are “Egg,” “Caterpillar,” “Chrysalis,” and “Butterfly.” Our readers progress through each level as their reading skills develop until they become a full-fledged, high soaring Butterfly Reader! Our Summer Reading list is organized into our five categories, and students who have been in Junior Level over the past year should know which level of books will be the “just right” fit for them. We have also included a list of picture books, either for independent reading, if they are a “just right” book for your child, or for reading to your child as a delightful way to spend time together. Emergent Readers The Nine Lives of Aristotle by Dick King-Smith Stan the Hot Dog Man by Leonard Kessler Ling and Ting: Not Exactly the Same by Grace Lin Mud Pies and Other Recipes by Marjorie Wilson *Biscuit by Alyssa Satin Capacilli

  • {PDF EPUB} Betsy Was a Junior a Betsy-Tacy High School Story by Maud Hart Lovelace Betsy Was a Junior: a Betsy-Tacy High School Story by Maud Hart Lovelace
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Betsy Was a Junior A Betsy-Tacy High School Story by Maud Hart Lovelace Betsy Was a Junior: A Betsy-Tacy High School Story by Maud Hart Lovelace. Maud Hart Lovelace, was born April 25, 1892, in Mankato, Minnesota.Like Betsy , Maud followed her mother around the house at age five asking questions such as “How do you spell ‘going down the street’?” for the stories she had already begun to write. Soon she was writing poems and plays. When Maud was ten, a booklet of her poems was printed; and by age eighteen, she had sold her first short story. The Hart family left Mankato shortly after Maud’s high school graduation in 1910 and settled in Minneapolis, where Maud attended the University of Minnesota. In 1917, she married Delos W. Lovelace, a newspaper reporter who later became a popular writer of short stories. The Lovelaces’ daughter, Merian, was born in 1931. Maud would tell her daughter bedtime stories about her childhood, and it was these stories that gave her the idea of writing the Betsy-Tacy books. Maud did not intend to write an entire series when Betsy-Tacy , the first book, was published in 1940, but readers asked for more stories. So Maud took Betsy through high school and beyond college to the “great world” and marriage. The final book in the series, Betsy’s Wedding , was published in 1955. The Betsy-Tacy books are based very closely on Maud’s own life. “I could make it all up, but in these Betsy-Tacy stories, I love to work from real incidents,” Maud wrote.

  • Without a Concerted Effort, Our State's Historic and Cultural Treasures Are in Danger of Being Lost to Time. the Minnesota
    Without a concerted effort, our state’s historic and cultural treasures are in danger of being lost to time. The Minnesota Historical Society awarded a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant in the amount of $7,000 to the City of Mankato. The grant was approved by the Society’s awards committee on July 22, 2010 and will support its Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project. Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Minnesota Legislature from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund created with passage of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution in November 2008. The grants are awarded to support projects of enduring value for the cause of history and historic preservation across the state. Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project The Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project is a project of enduring value because it will provide a list of properties to be listed on Mankato’s Local Historic Registry. The project begins on October 1, 2010 with an anticipated completion date of February 1, 2011. The project will include conducting historic surveys on 12 properties for potential local designation. “It is wonderful to see so many communities and local organizations benefitting from the Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants,” said Britta Bloomberg, deputy state historic preservation officer. “Minnesotans should be proud of the unprecedented opportunities these grants provide for organizations to preserve and share our history and cultural heritage. The impact of projects supported by Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants will be felt throughout the state for many years to come.” City of Mankato Historic Properties Survey and Local Designation Inventory Form Report Prepared for the City of Mankato Heritage Preservation Commission Prepared by Thomas R.

  • The Thirteen Betsy-Tacy Books by Alice Merchant
    The Thirteen Betsy-Tacy Books by Alice Merchant Betsy-Tacy Age level: 5 - 7 years SUMMARY: After Betsy and Tacy become best friends at Betsy's fifth birthday party, they are inseparable. Betsy is lively and imaginative, invents wonderful games, and can make up stories. Tacy, though bashful with people she doesn't know well, is just as merry as Betsy and is a wonderful companion. Together they picnic, explore, dress up, go calling, and gaze upon a certain "chocolate-colored house," where they eventually meet a new friend, Tib. Betsy-Tacy and Tib Age level: 6 - 9 years SUMMARY: Betsy, Tacy, and Tib, who are now eight years old, play just as well together as Betsy and Tacy did, and they never quarrel. Tib, though less imaginative than Betsy and Tacy, is a good sport and enchants the other two with her beauty and accomplishments, which include dancing, cooking, and sewing. Their games are even more imaginative, and their world expands further up the Big Hill, which rises behind Betsy's house. Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill Age level: 8 - 11 years SUMMARY: When Betsy, Tacy, and Tib turn ten and have "two numbers" in their ages, they make new discoveries which are fitting with their years. Through their interest in the crowning of the new king of Spain and their friendship with Naifi, who lives in a settlement of Syrian immigrants known as Little Syria, they become aware of themselves as Americans in an international world. Their interest in royalty results in a major quarrel with sisters Julia and Katie over who should be crowned Queen of Summer and in Betsy's recognition of stubbornness as one of her faults.

Close X. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy. So sweet. The world of Deep Valley, particularly in the Ray household, is a place where books and ideas matter. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Get A Copy. Her depiction of Betsy's initial sorrow, at the birth of her younger sister Margaret, is a realistic portrayal of a child's natural ambiguity at having "her" place in the family usurped. It's the trip of a lifetime. Other books in this series. You are both in for a real treat! Jan 01, t a n y a rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-star-reads , childrens-lit , middle- grade-book , buddy-read , finished-in Book 2. And so, being ready now to appreciate this one on its own terms and perhaps being older and wiser? There were a few books I skipped reading in my local library, and this was one. And what age do you recommend for little girls to begin the series? We forget what life was like when we were 4, 5, 6 years old, the wide-eyed wonder of the world, the power of our imagination, the love of our family, and the pure joy of the the friends we laughed and played with. I cannot recommend this book, and the books which follow it, enough. Views Read Edit View history.
