  • Entering Grades K-5 Summer Reading 2021
    MONROE TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS Office of Curriculum & Instruction 423 Buckelew Ave. Monroe Township, NJ 08831 http://monroe.k12.nj.us June 2021 Dear Parents and Guardians, The goal of the Monroe Township School District is to support our students in becoming lifelong learners. The summer months provide the perfect opportunity to extend and enrich your child’s reading experiences. Reading a variety of titles by various authors will enable students to learn, explore, and discuss new ideas with others. Furthermore, students who sample multiple genres and authors begin to understand their reading preferences, thereby enjoying recreational reading. Our summer reading program supports our objective that all students become lifelong readers and learners. The lists on the following pages contain recommended titles by genre, recommended authors and recommended book series. Encourage your child to enjoy this inspiring literature in the following ways: silent reading, shared reading with a parent or older sibling, buddy reading, book clubs, and parent read aloud and discussion. To help your child select books, have them examine the covers and try reading a couple of pages. A “just right” book is one that is interesting to a child, not too easy, nor too difficult. Listening to audiobooks is also strongly encouraged for all readers. To help support your child’s literacy development, attached is a resource list detailing ways to read with your child, habits of good readers, and links to other resources. We encourage you to use the resources on the second page to further assist in book selection. This list is to assist you in selecting appropriate reading material for your child to read over the summer months, as well as promote high levels of learning during the academic year.

The Declaration of Independence announced equality as an American ideal, but it took the Civil War and the subsequent adoption of three constitutional amendments to establish that ideal as American law. The Reconstruction amendments abolished slavery, guaranteed due process and the equal protection of the law, and equipped black men with the right to vote. The federal government, not the states, was put in charge of enforcement. By grafting the principle of equality onto the Constitution, the amendments marked the second founding of the United States. Eric Foner’s rich, insightful history conveys the dramatic origins of these revolutionary amendments in citizen meetings and political negotiations. He explores the momentous court decisions that then narrowed and even nullified the rights guaranteed in these amendments. Today, issues of birthright citizenship, voting rights, due process, and equal protection are still in dispute, the ideal of equality yet to be achieved.
