Summer Reading Lists


Destination--library!  Please click on the links to get the Summer Reading Lists.  This year Mrs. Powers and I decided to pair fiction and non-fiction books.




You may wish to ask your child, "What did the author have to know to write this story?"














You may wish to have a "search party" to find all the facts in a fictional story.









Mr. Powers has found the power of reading aloud!




You may want to invent a fictional story based on facts you learned in a non-fiction book.











You may wish to compare two stories.







                  You may wish to enjoy both genres! Ah! The joy of a good book read aloud!

Commencement

Commencement--A beginning!  The Montessori children celebrated a wonderful year of learning and friendship on Friday morning, May 31. Now the Lunchers are looking forward to first grade. However, all of us need to enjoy our new season--summer!










The Woods Academy Montessori Program--a small, caring community...












...with a "just right" challenge.












             




"Every interaction a child has during the course of a day influences the adult that child will become." J. Deak

Have a wonderful summer!
