Summer Reading

Creek Reads!  TCMS Summer Reading (GTAP assignment is different - scroll down)

 All Tates Creek Middle School students are encouraged to read over the summer.  Our students should read any two books of your choice over the summer and fill out an IB MYP Learner Profile One-Pager for each book.  The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools.  We believe these qualities can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national, and global communities.  We invite students to explore these attributes through their summer reading.

Upon our return to school, students who have completed their summer reading one-pagers will receive House Points and a treat from the library.  Below you will find the one pager and copies of the Learner Profile.

Remember: Kids are maturing at different rates.  Not every book is appropriate for every child at every age.  When choosing a book, use wisdom -- do not read a book that is inappropriate for you or your family.  When choosing and reading a book, talk to your parents about what you are reading.  Read together with your parent.-- Preddy, Leslie.
