and refine their writing skills, share with others, and grow as artisans and thinkers. The camp takes place from June 11-15 OR June 18-22, and is open to all writers ages 9-18 (rising 4th -12th grade). The Roadrunner Readers Tutoring is designed to help children
who are reading below grade level. The program is open to children in grades 2nd -8th, and begins June 14. Click HERE for

Paseo
del Sur and Path Closures June 11 – December 31 |
A portion of the Paseo del Sur and the staircase south of the EB will be closed from June 11, 2018 through December 31,
2018, as part of the ongoing SEB project. During the closure, there will not be a continuous route along the Paseo del Sur from the Ford Avenue Lot bus stop to the ART and EB as well as the staircase between the ART and FLN - signage will be posted to assist
with detours.
There are also plans to install a covered Paseo walkway and a temporary path northeast of the BSE at the end of August 2018 to mitigate the Paseo closure. These plans are contingent on construction progress and will be announced when finalized. For additional
information, please reference the attached maps or contact the Facilities Service Center at 458-4262. |

Stop Talking About The ‘30 Million Word Gap’ |
by ANYA
KAMENETZ - NPR | Pub: 06/06

"There are other values, like using language to entertain or connect, rather than just have children perform
their knowledge. How do we honor different families rather than have families change their values to align with school?” Similarly, Sofia Bahena, an education professor at the University of Texas, San Antonio, says talking about "word gaps," like "achievement
gaps," is an example of what she calls deficit thinking.
