Millionaire Club - Summer Reading Program

It is that time of year again. Time to relax and enjoy your summer reading a few good books. Our goal is for every student to read at least 5 books over the summer. Students have a Millionaire Club Summer Reading Program Reading Log. Please help them record the books they read and sign to verify their reading.

Steps for Summer Reading:
1. Select a category for books (i.e. Favorite Author, Lists, Series, Topic)

2. Read 5 books. Record the titles on the reading log and have your parents sign.

3. Turn in your signed reading list to your teacher next year. (This applies for 5th graders going to middle school.)

4.  1st - 5th Graders will complete a three sentence summary on their book.

       1st Graders complete 1 summary

       2nd Graders complete 2 summaries

       3rd Graders complete 3 summaries

       4th Graders complete 4 summaries

       5th Graders complete 5 summaries

New Computer Lab in the Library

Mr. Garcia's 4th grade students were the first to use the new computer lab. The library now has 16 laptop computers for classes to use. Mr. Garcia's class learned about the library electronic book collection. They each were able to use a computer and read an electronic book of their choosing. They also learned how to read the books at home.
