Parent Letter from Lightbox

POST A PICTURE

Dont forget to post a picture of what you are reading.  Mrs. Tackman and I can't wait to see what you are reading this summer!  Be sure to ask your parents for permission first.  Go to the top, click on Reading Programs and then in the drop down choose What are you Reading?  Take a picture and then click the plus sign at the bottow of the page and upload your picture of what you are reading.  Let's fill the page with readers!

NEED SOME BOOK IDEAS?? 

Here are some book lists created by teachers, librarians, and parents.  As always, preview the choices with your child to make sure they are a "good fit book."  Students have learned this year that not every book is a good fit.  

A Good Fit Book is one a student can read independently (or with the help of an adult), one that is about a topic that interests them, one that reflects their own values, and one that is FUN to read!!
