This is it, the big finale.

I hope you have enjoyed every second of this podcast, every beautiful word of this book. 

10 years of One Book at SJC - that's a true community of readers.

(see you for final trivia on Zoom on Feb 29, 7pm)

Thank you Mrs. Floros for all you do to build a love of reading in your students!

Welcome another first-time podcaster, our beloved Mrs. Brabham.

Here's part 2 - Chapter 42 - from Mr. O'Keefe. 

Today is a 2-Part broadcast, from our VP, Mr. O'Keefe. Be sure to listen to the second installment to hear Chapter 42.  This one is chapters 39-41 only.  Thanks!

The wonderful, dedicated Mrs. Lombard, who taught us all to read!

She's not just a math expert, she also loves to read!  From 7th grade, enjoy the dulcet tones of Mrs. Hynes.

You know her from the STREAM lab. She's been with the SJC library for almost 30 years. Our own, Mrs. Forster!

I could listen to Mrs. Moore all day. 5th grade's very own superstar teacher. 

The one, the only, Mrs. Foy!  One of the greats for your listening enjoyment today.

From the 7th grade, please welcome Mrs. Schmidt to the podcast!

Another new reader - the one and only Ms. Swade from 4th grade. (that rhymes...)

Welcome Mrs. Blouin, star reader from our 6th grade!

Mrs. Kennedy makes her debut on our podcast.  Listen and enjoy.

Today's guest reader: Mrs. Kimble!

Yahoo! This is our 10th annual One School One Book here at SJC. And the book we have this year is one of my all-time faves.
I know, I know, I've said that before. But it's true! 

Welcome to Wishtree, by Katherine Applegate.
Listen all month and get ready for trivia questions at school.  The final trivia contest for all families will take place on Thursday, Feb 29, 7pm on Zoom. Stay tuned for more details.

Thank you everyone for listening and reading! 

This ends another year of reading together during One School One Book.  Be sure to come to Trivia Night with your whole family, on Zoom, on Friday, March 3rd.  

Thank you Ms. Swiecicki - just one more day to go!  Trivia for these chapters on Monday!

Yay for Ms. Swi!  She's also reading the next one today, Chapter 19!

Here you go - more Stella, read by Mrs. Kennedy!  Trivia tomorrow.

Please welcome Mrs. Kennedy to our podcast for the first time ever!  She will also read Chapter 17 - in another post today.  

Here's the other chapter for today - thank you Mrs. Hynes!

Two posts today - both from Mrs. Hynes.  She's good at math AND reading.  Trivia tomorrow.

Everyone loves it when Mrs. Foy reads!  Trivia tomorrow.

Let's hear it for Mrs. Stillo - one of our faves.  Trivia tomorrow!

Stella Diaz Has Something to Say, by Angela Dominguez

Welcome back for another month of reading together with our friends, families and teachers.  Today you'll hear Chapters 1 and 2 read by Mrs. Michalowski. Tomorrow, we'll have our first trivia question. 

ENJOY!  I love this book - you'll learn some Spanish, cheer for Stella, and visit some of the best sites in Chicago.

Read by Mrs. Michalowski.  I can't believe it's over - but guess what.  It's not! 

If your heart is broken, you can heal it quick by getting a copy of The Wild Robot Escapes, and reading this thrilling, wonderful sequel to this fantastic book.

And more good news: a 3rd book, The Wild Robot Protects, is due out in Summer 2023.

Welcome to our 8th annual One School One Book.

This story is probably my personal favorite so far. Peter Brown gives us a tale of technology, nature, getting in touch with your wild side, being a parent, being a child, learning to listen, learning to speak, feeling empathy, practicing patience, fighting for those you love, and finding out why sacrifice - the kind that hurts - is so important. The Wild Robot is just...everything.  Sigh. 

I hope you read and listen as a family or with your SJC friends, and it makes these long, cold winter nights a little warmer and sweeter.

Enjoy!  -Mrs. M

The last chapter, bringing another month of reading together to a close.  Today, we have the wonderful Mrs. Moore to close out our journey with Humphrey.

However, your journey doesn't need to end!  Check out the many more books about Humphrey's adventures and keep reading!  And we'll see you next year for another One School One Book classic.

Click Here for all the books in the Humphrey Series.

Rock star reader, third grade superstar...of course, it's Mrs. McCreary.
