Carmel Elementary just completed a One Book, One School
project. It was very successful. Our PreK-Grade 5 school
(240 children) all read The Raft by Jim LaMarche. The books
were distributed to every familyfor at home reading; each day
for a week I asked questions during morning announcements to
generate interest and classroom discusssions. One the last of
the week, we had a whole school book club. Children were
divided into groups of six, each led by an adult. We have
been practicing book conversations for this school year, so
the conversations actually happened very easily. Community
members led some of the groups and gave me feedback for
improvement. It was a really good experience.
