Students and parents beat the heat recently as they attended a special Northampton Area Public Library summer reading program event. Super Teacher Readers is a program where Northampton Area School District elementary school teachers go to the public library, 1615 Laubach Ave., and read to the children. Focusing on summer, the teachers chose books with summer as the theme or backdrop to the story.
Jennifer Transue, a second-grade teacher at Northampton Borough Elementary, read “Moosetache,” a book by author Margie Palatini and illustrator Henry Cole. Transue explained this book was part of a series of books featuring a moose with a very long and uncontrollable mustache.
One of the books read by Diane Stettler, another Northampton Borough Elementary second-grade teacher, was “Have You Seen Bugs?” by author Ron Broda and illustrator Joanne F. Oppenheim. Stettler reminded students of some insects they learned about or would learn about in second grade.
Super Teacher Readers took place 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesdays in July.
