Summer Reading
The best way to prepare for next year is to read. Read however you want. Read wherever you want. Read whatever you want. Just read! Here's a calendar-style list of literacy activities. See how many you can do over the summer and bring it to the library in the fall!

Living History
You are living through history right now! Years from now, people will want to know what it was like to be in this COVID 19 quarantine. You can preserve history by creating your own primary sources for future generations. Check out this great list of writing prompts from @saharnawaz to get started.

Maker Week!
It's Maker Week. Check out these activities, or come up with your own: Middle School Library Maker Week Suggestions.pdf
Can you do something different each day this week?
Post pictures of your creations to our Maker Wall.

It's Breakout Time!
Review your Language Arts skills with a Digital Breakout Game. There are six different locks to open. Make sure you read the directions carefully. It should be lots of fun--if you remember what you've learned!

Record Breakers!
Check out some record-breaking landmarks. Use World Book Online and Culture Grams to look at a few from the attached handout. Then choose one for more in-depth research. Imagine taking a trip to see that landmark. Create a travel journal using the template in the handout, your own blank paper, or make a photo essay of your "trip" using PowerPoint or Adobe Spark. E-mail me with any questions or to share your travel story: parrottr@pwcs.edu

Science Scavenger Hunt
Review your science skills with a scavenger hunt! There are 16 mission to choose from--you can do as many or as few as you like. But remember: more missions=more points!

To play, you'll need the GooseChase app and game code: 4XRLZV. The game will be open from 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 2, through 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 10.

National Poetry Month
April is National Poetry Month. Watch these videos for some poetry ideas. Then post pictures of your poems to our Poetry Wall.
If you need text for a Blackout Poem, you can find free eBooks no longer covered by copyright at Project Gutenberg.
