Hello All,
This year we are trying something new for "Right to Read" week.
We are going to do a modified One Book, One School as our framework.
We will be using the book by Louise Borden, "The Last Day of School".
From giant lollipops given to the kids with perfect attendance, last
day treats and poems, and shirts that say Summer! to a vacation-home
raffle for Rhoda the hamster, the students of Chapman Elementary–
wiggly kindergartners to cool fifth graders–say good-bye to another
school year. Third-grader Matthew Perez holds a special gift for his
teacher until the final seconds of an unforgettable day. His wish to
wait until the final bell creates a last flutter of missing-a-good-
friend panic as he comes close to losing his chance to give the gift
before his bus leaves.
Each teacher will have a copy of the book. We are a K-4 building. Our
4th graders will be leaving for the 5-6 building.
We have planned to ask a question a day about the text. Do Compare
and Contrast with other last day of school books, create memory books
and hold cross grade level discussions.
I am looking for any other ideas!
Joanne in Ohio
