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.

    Summer Reading Project 6Th Grade

    Summer Reading Project 6th Grade The following list contains grade level appropriate books that have to do with our 6th grade theme of “change.” Over this summer you must choose one book (you make choose a second book for extra credit) and complete the activities on the following pages. A synopsis of each book is provided on the next page. Flipped – Wendelin Van Draanan When You Reach Me – Rebecca Stead Holes – Louis Sachar Maniac Magee – Jerry Spinelli The Wednesday Wars – Gary Schmidt The Cruisers – A Star is Born – Walter Dean Myers All summer reading projects must be completed by Friday, September 1. Students will present their work to the class with a gallery walk throughout the first weeks of school. Students will also take a short comprehension quiz on the book they chose to read. Have a wonderful summer, and Happy Reading! Flipped – Wendelin Van Draanan Flipped is a romance told in two voices. The first time Juli Baker saw Bryce Loski, she flipped. The first time Bryce saw Juli, he ran. That’s pretty much the pattern for these two neighbors until the eighth grade, when, just as Juli is realizing Bryce isn’t as wonderful as she thought, Bryce is starting to see that Juli is pretty amazing. How these two teens manage to see beyond the surface of things and come together makes for a comic and poignant romance. (Lexile – 720) When You Reach Me – Rebecca Stead By sixth grade, Miranda and her best friend, Sal, know how to navigate their New York City neighborhood. They know where it’s safe to go, like the local grocery store, and they know whom to avoid, like the crazy guy on the corner.
