Summer 2008 News

This summer Dale Street School students will be reading Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park.  We encourage families to share this book as a read-aloud.  All students will be discussing this book with their classes in September and meeting the author via webcam.  We look forward to meeting families for our family book night in September.  Get your copy of Project Mulberry from any bookseller, including Medfield's Park Street Books, or the Medfield Public Library,

Learn about author Linda Sue Park at TeachingBooks.net, and sign in with the password "DaleStreet".  Check out some of her other titles such as A Single Shard, Archer's Quest, SeeSaw Girl, and her newest book, Keeping Score.  You also might enjoy her book of poetry, Tapdancing on the Roof.

We suggest you read at least 6 books over the summer.  You can find reading suggestions under our "Books & More" tab.  You will also find fun and educational websites under the "Favorite Websites" tab.

Enjoy your summer vacation and keep on reading!

LMC Curriculum

Students regularly visit the LMC every six days for circulation lessons and activities. These lessons focus on literature and library skills, and are curriculum-based. We encourage every student to select a book during these visits. Books are checked out for two-week intervals. Students may have no more than 3 or 4 books checked out at a time, and should return books as soon as they are finished reading them. There are no fines for late books, but we do ask that students renew books if they are needed for a longer period of time. We love to give reading suggestions - just ask Mrs. Abner, Ms. Katz, Mrs. Fromen or Mrs. Thornton!

Students also visit the LMC computer lab for technology lessons and activities twice a month. These lessons are based on Massachusetts Technology standards, and include the use of word processing, internet, drawing and database applications.
