I stopped by the Scholastic Summer Reading site and found out two really awesome pieces of information:
So far, my class has logged a total of 1,930 minutes! I think that’s awesome!!! My guess? I bet a bunch of you are reading, but just haven’t logged your minutes. It’s not too late!!!! Check out our friends who are working towards our goal:
I also found where the total minutes are listed for Mullen-Hall School – 79,795 minutes!! There must be a whole lot of reading going on at Falmouth beaches!!
If you lost your username or password, let me know and I’ll help you log in. Most importantly? Keep reading! Whether you are logging your minutes or not, it is SO important to keep your brain muscles strong for all the hard work you’ll be doing in September!!
Kyle has this great love for reading now! Haven’t seen him with a DS in his hand in quite a while. This Percy Jackson series (Rick Riordan) has got him hooked! He really has been reading like a champ! 45 minutes here an hour there…sometimes more! I am a happy parent!! 🙂
Hi Mrs. Heather!
I’m so glad he’s enjoying his books – that’s such a gift. I said to them all year — “If someone told me I could sit down for a half an hour and just read and no one would interrupt me? I would be SO happy!”. What a great thing to hear, thanks for sharing!!
Miss you both!
Love,
Mrs. Brooks
Suzy, I think it was the day when I asked you in front of him if Superfudge was a book that he could read…RIght before book talks started. I think the combo of you and I got him into it! And…a little help from Matther who HAD to read a book a month (and thensome) for Lynne Buscher. FOr that I thank you! 🙂
It samazing to see how many minutes he has read! This gives great incentive every week to read more and “beat” his minutes every week…Its like a game now!
Hi Mrs.Brooks,
How is your summer going? I hope I see you around!!
Love,
Isabelle:)
Hi Isabelle!!
My July is VERY busy, but my August won’t be very busy at all. We’ve been to the beach, I’ve been teaching (one online course and one course at Harvard) and we’re getting ready to go on vacation to the Berkshires in a week or so.
What have you been up to? Are you reading anything good? Are you excited about Morse Pond??
I’m so glad you stopped by to say hello!! Miss you and have a great weekend!!!
Love, Mrs. Brooks
Hi Mrs. Brooks, On Saturday I’m going to old Barnstable county fair on

Hi Miss Brianna!
I’m so glad you are enjoying your summer – camping is something I did every year when I was young. You and Leah will have a blast, I’m sure. My summer has been a really good one. I’ve heard that there was lots of fun going on at camp this summer – I’m so glad that so many friends from Room 309 were able to hang out together!
What type of sand sculpture did you make?
I will see you in the hallways, soon!!!! Enjoy the last days of your summer vacation.

Mrs. Brooks
