Still More Take A BOOK On Vacation Pictures!!

At the beginning of this week I was thrilled to see two more Hollywood students sent in their Take A BOOK On Vacation pictures.  If you haven't sent in your pictures, there is still time!

The first set of pictures comes from Evey, an incoming third grader.  She and her family took a trip to Mexico, which is about 3,205 miles away from Hollywood Elementary School.  Evey made good use of her time on the plane by reading.  I can't wait to hear all about her trip to Mexico. Evey also fit in a little bit of reading while enjoying being in Mexico.

Keep those pictures coming!

Happy Reading!!

A Take A BOOK On Vacation Picture

This next picture for the Take A BOOK On Vacation program comes from Clara, an incoming second grader and Savannah, an incoming Kindergartner.  The two girls went with their family to Atlantic Beach Florida.  Atlantic Beach is about 714 miles away from Hollywood Elementary School.  This beach is located near the top of Florida. While Clara and Savannah were staying in Atlantic Beach they still managed to fit in a little reading.  In the picture they are reading The Circlemaker by Mark Batterson.

From looking at all the pictures that I've gotten for the Take A BOOK On Vacation program many of our HES students have had lots of great summer vacations.  I can't wait to hear more details when I see everyone again. There is still time to send in a picture, if you haven't already!

Happy Reading!!

The Next Take A BOOK On Vacation Picture

The next Take A BOOK On Vacation picture comes from Nolan, an incoming first grader.  He and his family went to visit Fayette Iowa.  While he was there Nolan got to visit lots of family.  That is one of my favorite types of vacations!  Fayette Iowa is about 1,000 miles from Hollywood Elementary School.  Nolan's cousins took him to the library where they got to watch a puppet show and then he was able to check out some books.  The book that Nolan check out looks like a good one.

New Take A BOOK On Vacation Pictures

I hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of summer!  I know I am!  I took a few days off to visit my family in Pennsylvania.  It was great to see them again.  I was also doing some research into my family history.  This is a very rewarding and interesting process, but it does take a lot of time.  One suggestion that I have to everyone is to write stories, vital information, etc. down while your relatives still can remember.  That is the issue that I'm running into right now.  But while I was gone, I was thrilled to get three more pictures for the Take A BOOK On Vacation program.



The first picture comes from Owen, an incoming first grader. He and his family went to Starved Rock Illinois.  I had never heard of Starved Rock, so I had to look it up on the map.  It is up towards the top part of the state.  Starved Rock is about 827.3 miles away from Hollywood Elementary School. Owen and his family shared that it is 12 hours and 42 minutes away from HES.  It looks like Owen has found a great place to read.  I've never been to Illinois before, so I'm very interested to hear more about Owen and his family's visit.


There is still time to send in pictures to be posted on the blog.  Thanks to everyone who has already sent them in.

Happy Reading!!

Even More Take A BOOK On Vacation Pictures!

Our Hollywood students are seeing a lot of sights this summer, but they are also doing lots of reading!  These next pictures are from Charlie, an incoming Kindergartner and Anna, and incoming third grader.  During this summer adventure, they got to spend time with their Grandfather in Baltimore, which is about 86 miles from Hollywood Elementary School.  

Anna

While in Baltimore Anna and Charlie got to tour the Liberty Ship John W. Brown.  This is the same type of ship that their Great-Grandfather served on while in the Merchant Marines during World War II.  Anna and Charlie had to wait a bit before the tour began, so they passed the time by reading.  This is something that I would have done when I was their age.  Even today, I still carry a book with me wherever I go.  You never know when you are going to have a spare moment!
