  • DWS 2017 Summer Reading for Rising 5Th Grade
    DWS 2017 Summer Reading for Rising 5th Grade The Library Committee and Class Teachers are pleased to present the DWS 2017 Summer Reading for students in rising 2nd through 8th grades. Summer is a wonderful time to spread out a blanket and read with your child. The English language has by far the largest vocabulary and most complex code (rules) of any other language. It also has a unique ability to absorb words from other languages. All of this makes English the preferred language of poets and playwrights because subtle shades of meaning can be expressed. Vocabulary becomes essential for proficient reading in this wonderfully complex language. Vocabulary acquisition is best obtained through reading. So... relax, sip a lemonade and READ! Things you can Do: 1. Pick a book! You can use the enclosed suggested book list for some ideas. 2. Read 500 Pages! Write down each book on the log page. 3. Rate it! Did you “Like it,” “Love it”? Would you give it a 10+ or 3 stars, maybe 5 hearts? Would you share or not share? 4. Design a new cover for your favorite book. 5. Write a review on the enclosed index cards. Be sure to include your name, grade and the title of the book. We’ll use these in the library. 6. Make a bookmark. Draw a scene from your favorite story, a favorite character or the joys of reading. 7. Have fun!

Tickets on sale now at the CAC Box Office and eTix.com. Mary Lennox has grown up in India with her parents and her Ayah, Kanchi. When both of her parents die in a cholera epidemic, Mary is escorted by Mrs. Crawford and Kanchi to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven, at his estate called Misselthwaite Manor. Mrs. Medlock, the head housekeeper, makes it clear that Mary should not snoop around the house, and that she is to behave and stay out of the way. Lonely, moody and contrary, Mary adapts slowly to her new surroundings. Housemaids Martha, Betty, and Jane suggest Mary explore the garden with their brother Dickon, the gardener’s assistant. Dickon and his mother, Mrs. Sowerby, explain to Mary that after Archibald’s wife died in an accident in one of the gardens, he locked up the garden, buried the key, and has kept to himself ever since. Over the weeks, Mary thinks she hears crying in the house at night, but no one will speak about it. One night, Mary can’t resist following the sound and discovers a boy her age in one of the rooms. Colin Craven is Archibald’s son, an invalid who never leaves his room. Mary tries to talk with him, but is forced out by Colin’s nurse and by Dr. Craven, Archibald’s cousin. Mary grows closer with Colin and the Sowerbys, and begins to discover what it means to be part of a family.

From Reader Review A Lady of Quality for online ebook SmartBitches says Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books A Lady of Quality is a romance by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1896. If the name rings a bell, it’s because Burnett also wrote Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Today Burnett is remembered for her children’s books, but she also wrote a lot of romantic novels for adults, one of which is A Lady of Quality. It features melodrama – so much melodrama. People just don’t make melodrama like they used to. The first thing that you need to know about this book is that it starts off with some really depressing shit.
