Summer Reading: Capstone Interactive eBooks
We’re excited to announce a great resource for reading this summer: Capstone Interactive eBooks! This summer, Capstone is providing free access to thousands of ebooks that can be read from school, home, or on-the-go. These eBooks can be used with a laptop, desktop computer or an iPad. Best of all, Capstone Interactive eBooks provide critical supports like text-highlighting and read-aloud audio, recorded by professional voice-over artists. Plus, the easy navigation makes it inviting for your student to find their Capstone favorites: like the spunky Katie Woo, stunning photography from PebblePlus books, and thrilling reads like Library of Doom from Michael Dahl. You can feel comfortable knowing your student is exploring an ad-free website bursting with resources to help them read in and out of the classroom.

6th Grade Project
Sixth grade students studied the author Laura Numeroff and her style of writing. Students were able to pick an animal and item that would follow a circular type story like the stories studied by Laura Numeroff. Students moved through the writing process of planning, drafting, revising/editing and publishing their piece. Each student created a published book with a minimum of ten pages. Students were both the author and the illustrator of their books. Kindergarten graciously allowed the students to share their stories, The sixth graders took questions from the kindergartners about how they established plot, setting, and characters when writing a book.
