Summer means more time for reading! Before my students leave school for summer break, I promote the public library's summer reading club and book talk new and exciting books. Below are the lists organized by grade level. All of these books can be found at the public library.
To encourage students to visit our local public library, I host a TEACHER TUESDAY event. Students can meet up with Greensview Elementary teachers at Upper Arlington's Lane Road Public Library on Tuesday, June 25th from 7:00pm-8:00pm.
