SEM Slides Into Summer

What Are You Reading, SEM?
One way readers grow is by being part of a community of other readers! Sharing your reading life with others inspires new book choices and keeps conversations going around books that we read. During PARP last school year, we saw so many SEM friends sharing what they read! We would love to see more SEM community members on our summer padlet! Flipgrid is really fun too for those of you who love to chat about the books you've read!
1. Add to our SEM Padlet: Click here to go to the padlet. A padlet is like a digital bulletin board. You or your child can add the name, the title of the book, and any description you want to provide. You can take a picture with the book, but you don't have to! Check out Mrs. Sokolowski's daughter Megan, who leaves a video book review on the Padlet this week. (See the bottom of this newsletter for a video tutorial on how to add to a padlet if this is new for you!)
2. Add to our SEM Flipgrid: Flipgrid is an easy and quick way to leave a video response. You can give a short (90 second or less) talk about a book you've read and why other people might enjoy it. You can add to the Flipgrid here.
3. Tweet your reading! Use the #SEMsummer and share a picture of what you are reading on Twitter. You can send your tweets to @SEM_Dalers, too!
We are looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading and getting great recommendations for new reads!
