One Book, One School Information, Reading Schedule & Recordings

Good Afternoon Rocky Mountain Families-

It’s that time of year again! It is time for our fifth annual ONE BOOK, ONE SCHOOL event!

We have chosen to participate in a ONE BOOK ONE SCHOOL program through an organization called Read to Them to foster a culture of literacy in every student’s home.

“The World According to Humphrey” by Betty G. Birney is the book that we will be reading. We read the first chapter together as a school today! Your child will be coming home with their very own copy of the book that they received at school! Each night we encourage families to read at home! Every student has received a copy of the book and we have also purchased Spanish copies for families that prefer to read in their native language! We have created a bookmark for each student with our reading schedule.

The heart of this program is based on the fact that the ENTIRE school participates in a common activity, which is to read the same book. The other part of this program--which is just as important--is that the book will be read at home as a read aloud by parents, grandparents, or other guardians. Students can also access and listen to the text online. We have staff that have read the chapters aloud and those recordings are on our school website at rocky.adams12.org.

The program will run from April 17- May 8th. During this time, students will be reading at home and then sharing their reading experiences with other students at school. We will have a culminating Family Night to celebrate our community reading and the book  on May 14th! We hope you enjoy reading with us!

Take Care and Happy Reading!

Mrs. Vogel and Ms. O
