Fink Elementary Celebrates One Book, One School
The science fiction adventure story
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown was the selection for Fink Elementary’s One Book, One School initiative, and students, staff, and parents marked the end of the program with a celebration including book-themed crafts and activities.
One Book, One School takes place in schools and communities across the country and the goal of the program is to reinforce reading instruction and literacy skills, increase parental involvement, bridge the home-school connection, and build a true community of readers.
Fink students collaboratively read the book and took time to review passages and discuss themes of the book, including family and friendship, the relationship between nature and technology, and the importance of empathy and acceptance.
The One Book, One School initiative also featured some guest reading Raiders, including principals, teachers, and community leaders.
