  • Dear Soon-To-Be Fifth Grade Families
    Dear Soon-To-Be Fifth Grade Families, Middle School is a wonderful time and we hope that you are as excited about being in the fifth grade as we are about you joining the middle school community. Your time at the “Hollow” will be full of new experiences. It is a time for students to become increasingly independent, to grow, and most of all to learn. We would like to start the new school year by getting to know you better. In order to do that, we are asking you to compare yourself to a character in your summer reading book. Many times we read a book and feel that the main characters are very much like we are - they may act the same way, do similar things, or have the same feelings as you. If the reader admires the characters, the reader may want to act like the characters or may imagine living his/her life in a similar. On the other hand, sometimes we may feel as if the main characters are very different from us. If this is the case, we may feel that the main characters are acting in a way that we could never act, and we may even disapprove of their choices. ASSIGNMENT: Use the main character(s) in your summer reading book to introduce yourself to your teachers and fellow classmates. You will do this by comparing yourself to the character(s) in the book. This a short writing piece using examples from the book and from your own life to compare/contrast yourself to a main character in the book, showing how you are alike or different.

The America Edition’s Cover SAINT-EXUPÉRY, Antoine de (1900-44). An adventurous pilot and a lyrical poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry conveyed in his books the solitude and mystic grandeur of the early days of flight. He described dangerous adventures in the skies and also wrote the whimsical children's fable 'The Little Prince'. Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupéry was born on June 29, 1900, in Lyon, France. In the 1920s he helped establish airmail routes overseas. During World War II he flew as a military reconnaissance pilot. After the Germans occupied France in 1940, he escaped to the United States. He rejoined the air force in North Africa in 1943. During what was to have been his final reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean Sea, he died when his plane was shot down on July 31, 1944. Saint-Exupery's first book, 'Southern Mail', was about the life and death of an airmail pilot. It was published in French in 1929. Other books include 'Night Flight' (1931), about the first airline pilots, and 'Wind, Sand, and Stars' (1939), in which he describes his feelings during flights over the desert.
