Summer Reading Journals – Elementary

in Uncategorized on 18/06/15

What’s that? You kinda sorta like the Summer Reading Journals, but you wish there was something for the smaller readers?

IMG_1372No problem.

You still get an All-About-Me page.

Chocklute milk and recesses.  All the recesses.

You get to make a Superhero cape.

Harper’s has to do with reading. She learned to, and fell in love with reading this year, thanks to her wonderful Kindergarten teacher.

Hadley’s has to do with soccer and Taylor Swift.

There’s a Reading Log and a Scavenger Hunt.

You can pretend you are one of the characters in a book  you are reading, and make a scrapbook page for him or her.

How about doing a little fishing for vocabulary words? That’s what Hadley’s doing here.  She’s reading Amelia and Eleanor Go For A Ride.  (Hadley’s mildly obsessed with Amelia Earhart. A few weeks ago, she prayed for her in children’s church. That’s a story for another day, though.) In this picture, she’s caught the words: determined, horizon, elevation, elegant, and outspoken. These are words that I think Hadley will find just right for her personality.

We still have this gem, but Becky designed it using a different book so it isn’t as complicated for smaller hands.

IMG_1377Both Summer Reading Journals have about fifteen activities that are designed to help kids sit a while with the stories they find this summer. We hope you like them. We hope you find lots of stories to sit with this summer.

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
