5th Annual Book Club Highlights

In April to celebrate literature, WPES offers the Bulldog Book Club. This tradition was created 5 years ago by Information Specialist, Cheryl Johnson. During the Bulldog Book Club, all students in grades kindergarten through 5 read the same book. This year our selected title is A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga. In the story readers are introduced to Resilience (nicknamed Res). Res is a Mars rover. 

Readers will journey with Res through his creation, launch into space and his mission objectives. We also follow along as Res and his companions learn/discuss “human emotions.” The major themes within the story are space, technology, robotics, and feelings.

In order to offer this event for our students, partnerships are essential. The PTO has purchased books for teachers and each student in grades kindergarten through 5. Teachers have created interactive stations and virtual home and school connections. These collaborations allow us to offer an amazing event our students will not forget.
