2022 GLCSF Spark Series:
One District One Book Promotes Literacy with District-Wide Initiative
On February 1st, 2022, GL students watched with excited anticipation as the big book reveal video was shown to all the classrooms throughout the district, which finally revealed that the book we will all read together is Wishtree by Katherine Applegate! Every student from y5 through 8th grade was provided with a hard cover copy of the book to keep as well as a special designed bookmark. GLCSF board members visited classrooms during the reveal to help pass out books to students and join in the excitement of the book reveal. Students were very excited that they get to keep the book, and many started reading as soon as they received it. It was so much fun to see the excitement for new books and reading! Every night during the month of February we will all read chapters of this amazing book at home with our families (per the reading calendar) and will have discussions, read-alouds, trivia, and other activities about the book at school. Each building has their own version of a Wishtree constructed in their building and will add wishes to it as the book is read. Following completion of the book we will have a visit from the author!
