LET’S MEET OTHERS!

Good morning guys,

Now you already know that I am a great fan of all of you reading books so that you can learn so much more.  Remember that in the pages of a book you can be anyone you want to be.  You can be an astronaut, a princess, a king, a nurse or doctor. Why you can even be a deep sea diver or an animal trainer!

There’s another great advantage to reading books.  You get to meet other kids and people from around the world.  I wonder what a child about 9 years old living in South Africa or Japan does first thing in the morning when it’s time to get ready for school. Are their schools like our schools?  Do they eat fun snacks and go to the movies like some of us here do?  Does a teenager in other lands have graduation ceremonies like our graduating teens do? How do they dress and why do they dress the way that they do?  I’m sure that kids from other places around the world ask the same questions about us.  

Hi there. Meet me in the pages of a book.

You know how to get your answers?  Sure you do! Read a book from the library about other cultures. Cultures, that an interesting word. What does it mean?  Well, I looked it up in a book called the dictionary. A dictionary has thousands of words in it with their different meanings.  

Cultures in short means: “the customs, social institutions and achievements of a particular nation.”

So, when you pick up a book about people in Haiti or Egypt, you read about what they do and why they do as they do.   It’s great to read a book guys! Let’s continue to enjoy our Summer with trips, fun activities, picnics, swimming, and more. But please remember there’s more fun in the pages of a book than most anywhere else.  Check out about other kids around the world before the Summer ends.  You’ll love it.

See ya,

Jenny

 

 

SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING- WHAT ABOUT YOUR READING?

Hi Guys,

Can you see my friend Jen, above.  She’s reading a book and has two more books to read.  She loves to read. Even though she has already been on a summer vacation with her family, and went to the amusement park with her friends, she hasn’t forgotten to read during this Summer.  

I am sending all of you this short reminder to be sure that you visit your local library or favorite book store and get some books to read. The books don’t have to been hundreds of pages long for you to read, unless you want that kind of book.   Wow! That’s a great idea.  Go to the library and ask the librarian for a good long book that’s age appropriate for you and determine to read 20 minutes a day until school starts again.  If you finish that book before school begins, great!  If not, just keep on reading until you do.  Guess what? You’ll have read so much that when the new text books are given out and assignments on your tablet are downloaded, you’ll already be in good reading practice and will ace any of your assignments!

So, until next time, let’s get our minds sharpened and our eyes roving over those pages in our favorite books.  Keep having good fun this Summer.  

I almost forgot.  I have two new books coming out later this year.  One is called “Junior Rabbit Travels to New York,” and the other is “Junior Rabbit Travels Home.”  I’ll let you know when they come out so you can add them to your collection of children’s books. One more thing, when you get to the library, watch out for falling books!

Talk to you later,

Jenny
