"One Book, One School"
Whitehall Elementary purchased books for each of our face to face students (K5-5th) and staff members! Participating in a school-wide reading program such as “One Book, One School” helps build a community of readers and a sense of belonging within our school. Families reading together help children listen better and longer, build bigger vocabularies, and develop a positive attitude about books and learning. Reading professionals recommend that families read aloud to children even when they are able to read by themselves. When an entire school reads together, it generates excitement about reading and being part of a fun program. We started reading the book together Monday, April 26th. You are encouraged to read along with your child each night as well. Students will receive a bookmark with dates and chapters for each day.
• April 26th – May 12th: Read. Connect. Enjoy. We’ll read in school and invite you to reread together at home each night.
- Send pictures to us of you and your child reading or a picture of your child reading out in the community!
What else? ★ We strongly encourage each family to read the book aloud together. ★ Daily trivia questions and prizes will be given. ★ Our students have enjoyed our guest readers.★ Have fun reading!
Do we LOVE chocolate like John Midas?
