This summer all students are required to read the following Roald Dahl book in preparations for Cardinal Lacroix Academy’s first Literacy Immersion Night on Friday, September 30th from 6pm-7:30pm. Our PTO will be hosting an Ice Cream Social from 7:00pm - 7:30pm that night to celebrate the event.
1st Grade - 3rd Grade - Fantastic Mr. Fox
Fantastic Mr. Fox is the story of a cunning fox and his uncanny ability to outsmart his enemies.
4th Grade - 6th Grade - BFG
BFG is a story about an orphaned girl who befriends a giant and travels to Dream Country to collect dreams.
Mandatory Summer Reading-
Sent home on the last day of school was a choice board to complete over the summer with the book chosen for their grade. We are requiring 3 projects to be completed during the summer. We are looking for quality work that will be displayed at our Literacy Immersion Night.
Families will buy the book and must have it read and choice board activities completed upon return to school Wednesday, August 31, 2022. Students attending the Title One Summer Program in grades 1-5, will receive and start to read the book during the program.
Once we return from school, a novel study will be completed per classroom and more activities will be completed in class.
All these activities will lead us to Literacy Immersion Night on Friday, September 30, 2022 from 6:00pm-7:30pm.
This information and the choice boards will be posted on the school website soon.
