Upper Elementary Summer Reading List

Dear Upper Elementary Students & Families: Before the year slips away, your teachers would like to thank you for your hard work and wish you a very nice summer. We hope that you will have some new experiences and enjoy time away from school with family and friends.

We wanted to let you know about something special we are planning for the first week of school. We plan to host the first ever, Bella Mente summer reading book clubs. Teachers and students will meet together to discuss a specific book, do an activity, and celebrate reading! It’s going to be very fun, so don’t miss out by not reading your grade level’s book.

Your teachers have selected (3) special books just for the book clubs. These are books that you will be able to find in your local public library, a bookstore, or purchase on-line.

Students Entering:

• 4th Grade, should read:

• The Lemonade War, by Jacqueline Davies.

• 5th Grade, should read:

• The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, by Kate DiCamillo.

• 6th Grade, should read:

• The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster.

We look forward to celebrating these books with you in August!

Warmly,

U.E. Teaching Team
