KP Summer Book Chat
for Parents/Guardians and Staff - Beyond the Bake Sale
YOU ARE INVITED
To join us for our first school Book Chat focused on Family-School Partnership. The best part, no schedules to coordinate or need to meet in a mutually agreed upon place.
How will we have a book club without a meeting?
Well, technology of course - We'll use the Voxer App
WHAT IS VOXER?
Voxer is a free tool that allows you to push-to-talk and send voice messages like a walkie talkie. However, you do not have to use voice notes. You can also communicate by sending an image or a simple text message. This flexibility is what is great about Voxer. Participants can type a quick thought to the group, push the button and just start talking as they reflect on a chapter, or share a visual that applies to the reading or a thought shared.
The beauty of using Voxer for a BOOK CLUB is that you can listen and reflect when you have time.

How will we use it for the book chat?
We will use this tool to share our thoughts, ideas and aha's on the book Beyond the Bake Sale. Joy will moderate the chat with selected questions, all you have to do is read the chapters and participate in the conversation!
