Back To School
Students!!!
Welcome Back! I hope you guys have had a great, relaxing summer! I spent the summer traveling to the Blue Ridge Mountains, taking my son to Space Camp in Huntsville, AL, celebrating BOTH of my children's birthdays, laying on the beach, and - of course...READING!! I read some great books this summer, including the brand new Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty, which I cant wait to put on our shelves! I have all kinds of exciting activities planned, including book fair, book clubs, and Skyping with authors! Also, this year, I will be seeing ALL of you in a regular library rotation! I am excited to get to see our 3rd-5th graders more this year!
One last thing- I will be scouting out some promising students to compete in our Battle of the Books competition this year. If you think you would like to become part of an exciting and rewarding team where reading will take you on MANY adventures, come by let Mrs. Wantz know that you are interested!

Summer Reading
Dear
Parents/Guardians,
We
know you are looking forward to an enjoyable vacation. First of all I would like to thank everyone for a wonderful year! Also, we hope your child will
find time to read this summer. The following book list is suggested reading for the summer.
When helping your child select a book, find one that
is interesting and that he/she is comfortable reading; too many unknown words
may lead to frustration. If your child is interested in a difficult book, read
it to him/her. If the book is too easy, let him/her read it anyway to build
fluency and confidence. If the book mentioned is not in your library, look for
another book by the same author. Most of these authors have written other good
books.
As
you read, encourage your child to ask questions, make predictions, and relate
the story to his/her own life. Remember to visit your local public library and
to participate in their wonderful summer reading program.
Have a terrific summer!
Mrs. Wantz
