If you were at drop-off this morning, hopefully you caught a glimpse of our welcoming gorilla, Ivan. He was visiting Freedom Elementary this morning to introduce our new One Book One School book selection - The One and Only Ivan! The book, a parent letter, and a reading schedule went home with the oldest learner in the family today. This book is yours to keep; thank you to the PTO for purchasing over 300 books!
Starting next Tuesday, we will be following the reading schedule to read 15-20 pages each day at school. We would like families at home to re-read those same pages, discuss the book, and answer some of the home extension questions that are included in the reading schedule.
We also have a podcast (https://anchor.fm/freedom-obos) where you can listen to the reading if you'd like to mix it up a bit. This can be a great option for car rides or for younger learners not able to read the text independently. We have lots of fun activities planned at school and are excited for you and your family to read along at home!

The book, a parent letter, and the reading schedule will be going home on Thursday to the oldest learner in the family. The book is yours to keep and read at home! A big thank you to our amazing PTO for purchasing books for everyone!
One Book One School will run February 21 - March 10. Each classroom will watch the movie on March 15th. We're excited for fun activities, a podcast, trivia, and much more!

Your class gift cards will be handed out by our PTO tomorrow. Thank you to all that contributed to the cause. It just goes to show that even a penny can make a difference!
