Our One School, One Book adventure is officially underway! Students brought home The Wild Robot and kicked things off by reading chapters 1–5 yesterday. From hallway clues to a special visit from our very own robot last Friday for the reveal, the excitement has been building all week! We can’t wait to see where this reading adventure takes us!

Crimes Against Books!

Our 1st and 2nd graders became book detectives in the media center! After scanning into the library and crawling under crime scene tape, they investigated evidence from our most wanted books. Was it water or food damage, ripped pages, a pet attack, or scribbles? They had a TON of fun learning about responsible book care and solving these book crimes!
