Summer reading: The Library Card by Jerry Spinelli • After reading the book please complete the sheets(given out on Moving Up Day in class) . You are also to write a report stating which story in The Library Card you liked best. In the report you must cite examples of why you liked the story the best. Please include the theme of the story you picked. The more details the better! • This will be due on the first day of school and will count as your first ELA grade. Have a wonderful summer! I am looking forward to a great school year!
