|  June 1, 2010 Our summer reading tradition
My dear Byrd Students, Who can believe that this school year is over? Time seems to have flown by so fast! I hope you had a wonderful year and I will miss all of you during the summer months. You have all blossomed during this school year, which has been wonderful to watch. New friends were made, friendships were strengthened and we as the Byrd School continued to flourish as a community of learners. I wish you all a relaxing, fabulous, fun-filled summer and hope that you will include READING as part of your summer activities.  Publishing the list of books that I read during the school year has become a tradition that I am continuing in this letter. Below is a list of the books I read during this school year. Maybe there’s one or two that you would like to read. If you do, I would love for you to e-mail me and let me know what you thought about the book(s). Every Soul A Star by Wendy Mass | Lousy Rotten Stinkin Grapes by Margie Palatini | When the Circus Came to Town by Polly Horvath | All the Broken Pieces by Ann E. Burg | I Am David by Anne Holm | Love, Ruby Lavender by Deborah Wiles | The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin | The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi | The Big Field by Mike Lupica | Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix | Crow Call by Lois Lowry | The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah by Leslie Kimmelman | I Would Rather Be A Turnip by Vera and Bill Cleaver | Stand Tall by Joan Bauer | The Magician’s Elephant by Kate DiCamillo | Iron Thunder by Avi | Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortenson
and Susan Roth | The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill |
As you play, swim, bike, read and do lots of other fun things, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Dave, Mr. Pat and I will be here getting the school ready for next September. Happy reading!!! Have a safe and wonderful summer!
Dr. Weber
