Today OES kicked off their new reading initiative, One School One Book, with a scavenger hunt. Students went around the building in their Team Time Groups gathering clues as to the title of our school wide novel. Teams gathered in the gym where it was revealed that the title of our book is…Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Florence and Richard Atwater!
Families will be receiving their copy of the book along with more information about One School One Book next week. Be on the lookout for more facts about literacy on the USD 294 Facebook page and check backpacks for packets next week.
This is a family-school reading activity. Families will read each night, and students will have daily trivia and other activities at school. OES will host a family night once the book is finished. We are excited to join you and your family on this reading journey!
