The Mouse and the Motorcycle
This month our school will be embarking on a special project, launching a district-wide book club called One District, One Book. Every family will receive a copy of the same book--Beverly Cleary’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle--and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage attentive listening and to earn a chance to choose a book prize. You will soon find that your child will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. In class, students may explore the book through activities and discussion. Naturally you will want to make sure your family keeps up with the reading so that your child can be included. Throughout the month, everyone will be talking about The Mouse and the Motorcycle! Please check this website daily for the reading schedule and trivia questions. To listen to the chapters read aloud, which are being read by school personnel and community members, please click on the Chapters tab. We look forward to sharing this reading adventure across our school district! Read on! |
