Dear Families,
We are thrilled to continue our tradition of One Book, One School. This program is designed to create a singular reading experience within a school community. We will ALL be reading the SAME CHAPTER BOOK at the SAME TIME! This year, we will read
“A Boy Called Bat” by Elana K Arnold. Every student in the school will receive a copy to borrow. We will be collecting the books at the end of the event so that we can share them with another Lakeland School.
Students can:
-
Join our One Book, One School Google Classroom. Everything in the classroom is optional. Students will be shown how to join during school. The join code is cmehefj
- Begin reading according to the attached schedule. We encourage you to read the chapter(s) together as a family or listen to a staff member read aloud through the Google Classroom.
- Come to school ready to talk about the book and answer fun daily trivia questions.
-
Complete weekly challenges located in the Google Classroom. Challenges are optional but a fun way to get involved.
Challenges are:
- Share your favorite place that makes you feel safe. Due 5/13
- Teach us about your name. Due 5/20
- Design a skunk or rabbit habitat. Due 5/26
There are various methods to complete the challenges. Each week, directions will also be posted in the Google Classroom. They should be submitted to your classroom teacher on or before the due date.
On May 20th, we will be having a character parade to celebrate the culmination of OBOS. As you read think about who you might dress like. More information to come.
Get ready to read...” A Boy Called Bat”.
Warmly,
Van Cort’s One Book One School Committee
