I ran a successful summer program for four years based on literature circles for ELL students. It was soooo much work but so worth it. I still haven;t published my findings but the gains in achievement and attitude for both students and teachers were amazing. Families also became involved...as? you can imagine after four years:) I still reflect fondly on those summer experiences.

We are thinking about opening our library to parents and students one day a week to check out books. My hope is to set up centers where we can have different activities for parents and students. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to model this or what your school does? Thank you!
