The May 2024 Capstone Holiday Calendar and Book List Is Filled With Special Books and Events, Friends! You Will Find It Here.

It's almost May 2024 and time for a new set of books on the May Capstone Holiday Calendar.  I love using these calendars to highlight books each month from our collection. 

It's a great way to celebrate and learn about topics that tie into our curriculum including important historical events, and other special events that our kids love to learn and read about throughout the year. 

You will find the Capstone May Holiday Calendar here, along with the other months too. 

And here is the May 2024 Capstone Holiday Calendar Book List where you will find the links to the books on CapstonePub.com.

When the Capstone Holiday Calendar comes out each year, I go through and mark the books we have in our library collection, and add the books to my list that I'd like to order for my collection each month too.

You can read all about the 2023-24 Capstone Holiday Calendar Poster here, friends. 

Special Bookmarks For The Capstone Virtual Summer Camp Adventure....Find The Template and Create For Your Readers Too!

                      

I always create special bookmarks to give our students and families as we get ready for the Capstone Virtual Summer Camp Adventure. You can find everything you need for this program here.

You will find this years bookmark that I created in Google Slides here. 

I get the bookmarks printed at Vista Print. The image of the bookmark on Slides 1 and 2 fits perfectly into the 2 x 6 template. You will find the link to the Vista Print bookmarks here.

I pass these out to our students a week or two before the end of the school year so I can explain the summer reading program to our readers. The bookmark has everything they need including the URL, QR code to scan to get to the choice board and all of the information on the different weekly themes. 

You will find all of the Capstone Summer Learning resources here on the Capstone site.
