One School, One Book Family Reading Program Unites Home and School
Diller-Odell elementary students recently brought home a copy of The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate, and began reading it with their families on Monday, March 24. Over the next few weeks, students and families will read the book together at home while celebrating and exploring the novel at school. It’s all part of a unique, national family literacy program called One School, One Book from non-profit Read to Them designed to strengthen the educational connection between home and school. Families will read and discuss the story of Ivan, the silverback gorilla, at home. In school, students will answer trivia questions and engage in creative extension activities. A huge thank you is given to Heartland Bank and Thrivent Financial for sponsoring this program for our community!
