Summer Reading Programs

Camden’s Summer Reading Program: Camden Station will be hosting its second annual Reading Celebration on Friday, August 16th, and it will be an event that you won’t want to miss! We will be having George Ella Lyon, a published author, come to Camden to speak with students about the importance of reading and about her writing life! All you have to do to attend the Reading Celebration is to read your text of choice and fill in a star for every 30 minutes that you read on our summer reading log, for a total of 10 hours over the summer! Return this paper to school the first week we return in August.

Fourth Graders Dissect Owl Pellets

Fourth Graders Dissect Owl Pellets

In conjunction with their current English Language Arts unit, Mrs. Allen's fourth graders are reading Poppy, the fictional chapter book about a mouse who has to leave the comforts of home to head out into the unknown world in an effort to save her family. Recently in science, they also learned about owl pellets (the undigested remains of an owl's meal) and then dissected them. Their schema from this experience will be useful to understand the plot of Poppy and how the author, Avi, must have done research about owls and mice in order to write his narrative.
