Summer Reading 2012
Wow, your children have had a great academic year! Keep it going and avoid the "summer slide" by reading this summer. Experts say reading in the summer raises learning levels and helps prevent learning loss. It doesn't matter what they read, only that they have to, but what they want to. Read a book, fill in the postcard and mail ($.45 postage) or deliver to the school. Children who fill out 3 postcards by Sneak Peek will receive a special treat!
See the suggested summer reading list below, along with the HFE postcard. Remember that ebooks (password - your HFE 10 digit lunch number) and TumbleBooks (username - "heards" password - "books") are also available this summer. Links can be found on this webpage. We want children to be lifelong library users. Encourage your children to read for the fun of it, read to you, read with a friend. "Readers are Leaders"!!!
HFE Digital Library News
Thanks to a magnanimous donation before the holiday we added many new books to our elibrary. This is very exciting because the Media Center will be closed over the summer, but OverDrive, like reading a good book, is year round!! Help us continue adding eBook titles so the children can download all kinds of different books no matter where they travel or what tree in the backyard they sit under all summer long. Your generous gifts make for generous selections!!
Cost of ebooks range from $7 to $23, the good news, their spines can never be broken! Donations can be given for specific titles. Please ask Mrs. Locke if your desired title is available for purchase. Make checks payable to Heards Ferry Elementary.
