Hi friends!  Don’t forget to read all summer because books build brains! Keep track of what you read, and we will recognize you for being a reading rock star in August. 

This week we sent home lists of book suggestions. They can be found below, along with tips for how you can be a SUMMER READING ROCK STAR!

2019 SUMMER READING SUGGESTIONS:

• Entering Pre-K/ K 2019

• Entering 1st/2nd grade 2019

• Entering 3rd/4th grade 2019

• Entering 5th/6th grade 2019

How can you be a Summer Reading Rock Star?

1. Read.

2. Track your reading.  This could be on a log for the Athens Clarke County Library (pick one up at the library on Baxter Street).  You can use one of our logs, or you can write them down on a sheet of paper.

3.  Remember that you have to read at least 15 hours or 30 books but that reading 25 hours or 50 books is the best because WE WANT TO WIN THE READING TROPHY!

4.  Turn in your log or certificate of reading from Athens Clarke County Library to Mrs. Sugiuchi in August.  Then you will be invited to our ice cream social!

Remember: if you read 30 books or 15 hours, you will be invited to a Special Reading Rock Stars Party in August.  If you read 50 books or 25 hours, you can help OAES win the reading trophy.  We only need 70 students to make this happen.  Be ONE OF THESE STUDENTS!!! Kick off your summer reading with a party at the ACC Library on Baxter Street on May 19th. Find more information about their program here.

Happy Reading!  

For extra reading fun and prizes, join the summer reading programs at Avid Bookshop and Barnes and Noble.  They have great storytimes too!
