One Book One School- The Miraculous Adventure of Edward Tulane
Friday Holmes School kicked off the "One School, One Book" program with an all-school assembly. Your child experienced lots of fun things, such as bunny clues and teacher’s reading mystery books, as it was revealed that the whole school would be reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. Your family will be receiving a copy of the book at the upcoming parent conferences in order for you to participate in this exciting program.

Ms. Rose also will play the audio version for students to listen to during quiet reading time.
