SEM Slides Into Summer
Newsletter #8, August 14, 2017
Last Summer Book Swap!
This is not a drop off event. Parents, please plan to stay with your child as he/she selects books. We are excited to see all our SEM readers!
SEM, What Are You Reading?
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! This week, check out Mrs. O'Regan's children and the great books they are reading!
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!
