Hey families!
One School, One Book, selects a book and each student in our school receives a copy to read at home as a family. At school, students celebrate and explore the novel with their classmates. This essential strategy reinforces reading instruction, increases parental involvement, bridges the home-school connection, and builds a true community of readers. The benefits of a school reading program are:
Access to Books
Family Engagement
Educator Created
The book chosen this year is Zoey & Sassafras Dragons & Marshmallows: Zoey discovers that she can see magical creatures that might need her help. That’s a good thing because her mother has been caring for the various beasts since childhood, but now she’s leaving on a business trip so the work will fall to Zoey. Most people (like Zoey’s father) can’t see the magical creatures, so Zoey, will have to experiment with their care by problem-solving using the scientific method to determine appropriate treatment and feeding. When a tiny, sick dragon shows up on her doorstep, she runs an experiment. We have to read on to find out what happens next.
Our kick-off assemblies were Wednesday 4/10/24! Get ready to dive into a whirlwind of fun with our One School One Book event featuring the fantastic adventures of Zoey and her buddy Sassafras!
