SUMMER READING FUN
SUMMER READING FUN
Did you know that studies show that children and teens who read during the summer are better prepared for school in the fall? Also, reading for fun results in significant gains in vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
The library is also organizing a summer reading program called Summer Reading Fun. The purpose of this activity is to encourage recreational reading over the summer. Students can keep a reading log (see options below) in which they will write down the titles of the books they’ve read. Students that read 15 or more books during summer will be invited to an ice cream party in September! This is open to all students.
Young students can do this activity with their parents. Books do not have to be in English.
The end of the school year and summer vacation is just around the corner. This means it is time to return all your books and get library books to read over the summer. It is the perfect time to pick up a good book - strictly for enjoyment or to practice newly acquired reading skills.

AUTHOR VISIT - K. C. Julius
Through Library Week, K.C. Julius will stay with us for three days, allowing many opportunities for all of our students to work with our visiting author.
In “a previous life”, Kristan was an international educator, teaching at the International School of Belgrade, The American School in London, The Walworth Barbour American International School in Israel, and Jakarta International (now Intercultural) School. She has developed a writing curriculum and conducted countless writing workshops for students, teachers, and the wider school community.
Beyond the Green Door (published under Kristan Julius) is a YA fantasy set in Hutanya, a world in which water has become a precious commodity. A revised edition is scheduled for re-release under a new title, Beyond to Hutanya, in July 2022. The Drinnglennin Chronicles, her bestselling epic medieval fantasy series, was released in 2020 and is the culmination of a story that has been running through her head for over a decade. A classic tale of adventure, sword & sorcery, romance, intrigue, and betrayal, The Chronicles combines all of the elements of the stories she personally loves.

Join us for a Parent Session with the author on THURSDAY, April 7 at 8:10 in the Black Box.
The author will talk about her long, and sometimes arduous, author journey, and what lessons she learned about perseverance and possibilities along the way.

BANNED BOOKS WEEK: Celebrating the Freedom to Read
September 22-26
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information.
This year’s Banned Books Week’s highlight is graphic novels because they continually show up on the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom’s Top 10 List of Most Frequently Challenged Books. The most current list for 2013 includes two graphic novels: Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series at the top spot and Jeff Smith’s series Bone at #10.
“Our most basic freedom in a democratic society is our first amendment right of the freedom to read,” said ALA President Courtney Young. “Banned Books Week is an opportunity for all of us to stand together protecting this fundamental right for everyone and for future generations. We can never take this precious right for granted.”
Throughout the week, the library will have displays, videos and discussions on banned books and the freedom to read.
For more information on Banned Books Week, please go to:

INTERNATIONAL DOT DAY
INTERNATIONAL DOT DAY
On Monday, September 15th, AISZ celebrated the International Dot Day. This event has been inspired by the book the Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. The Dot tells the story of a caring teacher who reaches a reluctant student in a remarkably creative way. In Reynolds’ book, the teacher dares a very resistant Vashti to “make her mark.” Vashti’s breakthrough begins with a simple dot on a piece of paper. Encouraged by her teacher, she sets off on a journey of self discovery and creativity, and ultimately, inspiring others. What begins with a small dot on paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence.
Elementary students have read the book and have seen the video of the book in the library. They have also
enjoyed various Dot inspired art activities in Art class with Mrs. Arno.

AUTHOR'S VISIT - David Greenberg
AUTHOR'S VISIT - David Greenberg
On April 11 and 12, the PTA and AISZ hosted DAVID GREENBERG!!!
David has presented Poetry sessions to our younger students, a Civil Rights one to our older students and has done a Writing session with HS. The teachers have enjoyed his session on Writing and everyone was invited for a Family Writing Evening that was filled with loads of fun for children and adults. On top of that, David was so kind to spend the whole Friday visiting classrooms, talking to students, signing books......He was AMAZING!
Check out the photos :):
David's Presentations
Session for Elementary Students:
Poetry Assemblies: Filled with dozens of dazzling illustrations from Greenberg's books, these assemblies are fun, funny, and inspirational. Not only do children laugh, chant refrains, and taps along with the beat, but teachers and parents do as well. Kids leave saying, "I want to be a writer when I grow up!" Greenberg dynamically and expressively performs his rollicking poems for kids (click on book covers to see reviews). His poems are filled with alliteration, acrobatic meter patterns, and snazzy rhymes. Students are so captivated by the joy of Greenberg's performances they leave his assembly quoting their favorite lines. The assembly is, in essence, standards based academics wrapped within memorable entertainment. Greenberg weaves explanations of the various elements that activate good writing into his performance. He discusses the fierce perseverance necessary to succeed and emphasizes the key importance of the writing process.
Session for Middle and High School Students:
Civil Rights Assemblies: This assembly grips the listener. It inspires us to be our best. It is filled with basic American history. It deals with our challenges as a nation and what has made us great. Based upon his novel, A Tugging String, Greenberg discusses the racial attitudes in the United States at the end of the Civil War, and how deep prejudice against blacks still persisted. He talks about the rights denied to blacks, emphasizing that although blacks technically had the right to vote, they were quite often denied it in practice, and thus denied a voice in our political process. He talks about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s attempt to march from Selma to Montgomery to call attention to this injustice, and the response of the racist governor of Alabama, George Wallace. He discusses how King (helped by Greenberg's father) used the courts to peacefully overcome the forces arrayed against them, bringing about the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Ultimately, he shows how this has helped to make America a far better place. Greenberg draws the connection between the institutionalized bullying of the racists and the bullying that persists today.
Writing Workshop for Grades 9 and 10
David Greenberg has lectured around the world on writing instruction. Based upon lessons he's developed, workshops are intensive, personalized writing sessions that exude a spirit of love for language. Based upon unique, highly motivational lessons, students write impressive, thoughtful work.
Teacher Session - Thursday - 15:15 – MPR
Teacher In-services: Based upon the writing workshops Greenberg has conducted internationally, these sessions are refreshingly fun in tone, yet absolutely practical in content. They provide teachers with numerous, unique and compelling writing lessons that they can implement in their classes immediately.
Family session -Thursday Night - 18:30
Family Evening Presentations: Loads of fun, the purpose of Family Writing Night is to bring kids and parents together in an important educational activity. Greenberg starts the evening session by reading several of his poems. Next, he demonstrates a writing activity at the projector, and family groups collaboratively try their hand at the same sort of writing (which always has some sort of family theme). Kids clamor to take completed work home as a memento.
