Happy summer! I hope you have a great summer with lots of relaxing
and fun! I hope you will keep reading this summer! I have included
several books from different genres so you will have a great variety
to Choose from. Here are some things I would like you to do:

  • Read a little each daY, at Ieast 15-20 minutes minimum.

  • Read at IeaSt three (3) books from the suggested liSts (you are
    weIcome to read more, this is just the minimum).

  • you may read books that are not on this liSt, and you are
    weIcome to take A R tests on the books you read.

  • Write down all the books you read on the I0g sheet.

  • Pick one book that was your favorite. you will do the Bag the
    Elements project with the book you choose. The project is due
    our first daY o f school. I have included the instructions.
