Beginning Monday, Colfax Elementary will be embarking on a special project, an all-school book club called One School, One Book. Every family will receive a copy of the same book – Andrew Clements’s
Frindle – and will be asked to read it together at home over the next 3 weeks.
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With the One School, One Book program, we aim to build a
Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, even administrative staff – will all be following along together.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You will soon find that your child will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. In class, students will explore the book through activities and
discussion. You will want to make sure your family keeps up so that your child can be included. Throughout the month, everyone will be talking about Frindle!
