TD's Summer Reading Club Week Five: 4s - 6s

The fifth week of the Summer Reading Club has come and gone! We bid adieu to the Colosseum - which we had lots of fun exploring!

We read:

"The Magic Boot", by Rémy Simard. (Some of the kids remembered this story from the Scavenger Hunt). A fun, interesting take on how Italy became a country.

 

"Olivia Goes to Venice", by Ian Falconer, a look at Olivia the Pig's visit to Italy. We learned about some interesting things in this book, like gondolas and gelato.

"Madeline and the Cats of Rome", by John Bemelmans Marciano. Madeline inadvertently gets into trouble with the law! 

 

 

And finally, "The Wedding Dress Mess," by Beatrice Masini! This silly bride becomes too obsessed with her wedding dress! Look out for the runaway groom! 

We made some gladiator helmets: 

Some of the kids tried our Colosseum puzzles:

If you haven't already done so, please bring your reading passport to get stickers for this week, and fill out a ballot for the weekly prize draw. We draw for prizes every Friday at 4:00 - only 2 draws left!

Next week, weather permitting, we will be outside to make our pizzas! There will be games and activities to keep everyone busy while the pizzas are cooking! See you there!
