Studies have shown that children who read during their summer vacation retain more of what they have learned throughout the school year and are better pre- pared for that first day of school in the fall. You can encourage your youngster to become an avid summer reader by giving him/her lots of reading choices. In addition to books, provide magazines and newspapers. Attached are some suggested book titles you may want your child to choose to read over the summer. The Hall Memorial Library staff will be available for suggestions as well. Along with the summer reading program at Hall Memorial Library we would also like to encourage you to participate in the Governor’s Summer Reading Challenge: Connecticut Reads 2011. Information about the Governor’s Summer Reading Challenge and library summer reading programs can be found at: http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/cwp/view.asp?a=2683&Q=320322 Summer reading can be fun and easy with the attached Reading Log. Youngsters may read a book to an adult or sibling, have books read to them, or youngsters may read books silently. Either way, please “log” every time your youngster has read or has had a book read to them on the Reading Log. As 5th Graders at Windermere School return your reading logs to your classroom teacher during the first week of the new school year 2012-2013. Youngsters who have participated in the Summer Reading Program will be acknowledged by the Windermere Media Center. If the reading logs are mis- placed just keep a record of book titles that have been read and return that list to your classroom teacher. Our overall objective is to encourage and recognize those students who have practiced their reading skills over the summer months. All that is really needed for the Summer Reading Program is parental/adult encouragement and perhaps a few trips to the Library. Please help us make this a worthwhile summer of reading fun for your young- ster. Sincerely, Trudie Luck Roberts Principal, Center School Hall Memorial Library Summer Hours: Monday- Thursday > 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Friday > 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Saturdays > 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. .

  • Maniac Magee
    Maniac Magee BY Jerry Spinelli Summary ….…. ………………………………2 About the Author……………………… .. 3 Book Reviews………………………… ……. 5 Discussion Questions……………… ….. 6 Author Interview……………………… …. 8 Further Reading……………………… ….. 9 SUMMARY _______________________________ He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. 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.

  • St. Jerome Classical School
    The Educational Plan of St. Jerome Classical School A Catholic Classical School in Prince George’s County 5207 Forty-Second Place Hyattsville, Maryland 20781 Anno Domini 2010 The very fact that it is the flesh of the Word become man that ultimately defines the limits of Christian humanism contains the possibility of almost explosively extending those limits to what is really a limitless degree. Now we may dare— indeed dare we must—to take up with an all-embracing gesture into this pattern of the Christian man whatever in the long perspectives of history or in the depths of his soul is true and noble in thought and deed. All that is good and true has proceeded from the Word and has its homing point in the incarnate God, even though this be hidden from us, even though human thought and human good-will may not have perceived it…For the humanist Christian there is only one possible attitude that he can take towards the world: he must love. Yet one can only love a person, and that is why the Christian humanist loves the human in every shape and form but only in him of whom St. Paul says “all things were created in him.” Here is the meaning of those words written by an ancient Christian… “Christ is the Word, in whom the whole human race has a portion, and all who have lived according to this Word are Christians, even though, like Socrates and Heraclitus among the Greeks, they are accounted godless.” - Hugo Rahner, S.J., citing Saint Justin Martyr Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
