One District One Book!

We have LAUNCHED! Lethbridge School District 51 has taken on a new and exciting project: One District One Book. Every student from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will be spending the next two weeks reading the SAME book. What book?!?!? Well here it is!!
 

Here is a video from those that have made this project possible:

Each night, students will be expected to read a few chapters. The next day we will be discussing the chapters and answering trivia questions. This is a great time to shut off technology, unplug, sit down and enjoy literacy with each member of your household. We hope you enjoy the book as much as we do!

Tuesday: March 26 - Chapters 6-11
