Our summer reading book is a
wonderful story by Mona Lisa DeGross entitled Donavan’s Word Jar. As you
read, we have a couple of activities for you.
·
Prior to reading the
book, take a look at the title, the picture on the cover, and the text on the
back cover. Based on these three
aspects of the book, what do you think this book will be about? Write your response on the inside front
cover.
·
Read to page 14 of Donavan’s
Word Jar. You will notice that
there is a STOP SIGN with a question on page 14. Please take a moment to stop, think, and then respond to the
question. Go ahead and write your
response in the book.
·
Continue reading to the
end of the story on page 71.
Again, there is a STOP SIGN and 2 questions for you to take a moment to
think about. Write your responses
for both questions on
pages 71& 72.

We would like you to
gather exciting and new words that you come across on your summer
vacation. Put the new words on
slips of paper and put them in the library pocket in your book. We are going to use these when you
return to school in September.
Have a great time reading this
book this summer. We’re sure that it won’t be the only book you read but we
think it will be one of your favorites.
We are looking forward to starting our school year with this fabulous
story.
Have a great summer! See
you on September 2nd,
Ms. Rownd, Mr. Arnold, Mrs. Martin & Mr. Wise
