Throughout March, all Fulmar Road students will read Life According to Og the Frog each night before discussing it at school the following day. The One School, One Book event allows students, teachers, and parents to share the same literary experience and bridges the gap between school and home.
“Every night we ask students and parents to read one chapter together, but we also provide an option for students who want to listen to the book instead,” said Fulmar Road Assistant Principal Allyson Fallman. “Mimi Murphy posts videos of staff members reading each chapter in both English and Spanish so that we can get all of our families involved in the event. We even get some of the students and families to do the read-aloud.”
Each year, the One School, One Book stories are chosen by the Fulmar Road Site-Based Team, which is made up of parents, teachers, and administrators.
“In the morning Principal Chadwick reads two questions from the chapter to the whole school,” Fallman said. “We want to have the students talk to each other about the questions and what we read, but two of our fifth-grade students were so excited that they came up to the office because they wanted to tell us their answers.”
