News from the Library
Well, the school year is almost over.  I hope you will continue reading all summer-long.  Remember there are many ways to get reading material. 
The Public Libraries will hopefully be re-opening soon.  Books can be reserved online.  They also have many e-books available for you. 

Check out these sites too:

  • YouTube
  • Audible.com
  • Amazon Prime
  • MyOn
  • Overdrive
  • Cloud Library
  • Hoopla
  • Tumble Book Library
  • International Children's Digital Library
  • Oxford Owl

For guidance on which books are the right books, check out Commonsensemedia.com or Goodreads.com.

Don’t hesitate to contact me at judy.osullivan@lutzprep.org if you need some help.
 
Reading during the summer is important to keep up your skills so you are ready for next school year.  Read a lot. Read different genres. Enjoy, take an adventure, learn about animals, etc.
 
Please make sure you return all library books at your scheduled pick up time that is announced above.  Check around the house and be sure you return all books, so you won’t be billed for them later. 

Miss you all!

Camp Invention - Connect
In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), Lutz Prep is pleased to offer Camp Invention Connect™ — the all-new, at-home version of the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program! Camp Invention Connect™ reinvents distance learning for children entering grades K through 6 with an exciting, weeklong summer adventure exploring science, technology, engineering and innovation. Four activity kits packed full of materials are sent directly to each participant, so they can go outside, get active and stretch their imaginations with engaging hands-on activities.

The week begins on June 8, 2020 with Megan Edmonds-Pillai serving as Lead Coach to offer the all-new 2020 curriculum, Elevate!
 
During this program, young innovators will:
  • Explore the principles of flight, pilot paper airplanes and hand-copters, and experiment with two flight simulation robots — one to take apart and investigate, and one to personalize!
  • Learn the value of their creativity and bring their biggest ideas to life as they sketch and build prototypes, design logos, market their invention and protect their intellectual property.
  • Go outdoors to take on environmental challenges, exploring bioluminescence by creating glowing LED flowers and building parachutes to safely airdrop animals in their habitats.
  • Discover the great inventors behind their favorite sports and apply their own game-changing ingenuity build the ultimate sports complex, and then head outside to play their new games.
 
Camp Invention Connect is dynamic, flexible program. It can be screen-free and self-led, or it can be enhanced through online collaboration sessions with Coaches and fellow campers.

While screen time and the need for parental involvement are kept to a minimum, inspiration, exploration and creativity are unlimited!
