From the Library

Hi  all - we had some great discussions in library today about summer reading plans and suggestions. I highlighted some books and the kids shared some suggestions too. In order to put all the info in one place, I started a new folder in Schoology on the library page. There you will find the link to the public librarian's suggestions (The Missing Piece of Charlie O'Riley and Shouting at the Rain are in there) and also some links to other book lists and suggestions from me. 

I also started a discussion in each class folder "What books do you recommend to your classmates for summer reading?" Maybe you could have the kids log in and contribute something next week when you are looking for things to do with your kids. 

The links are also below in case you want to send them out via email as well:
