Check back daily for new activities for our One School One Book event! Going on August 24th through October 9th!
OSOB Restart Reading Calendar
Since this is a school wide activity, below is the calendar listing the suggested chapters for each day. In five school weeks, we will have finished a whole book TOGETHER! This will remain pinned at the top of the website, so you will need to scroll down for other activities!
September 1-8: Who is Chase?
As we begin reading, you will encounter a main character named Chase. We don’t really know who he is yet, and surprisingly enough, he doesn’t know who he is either. Your job will be to find clues posted throughout the school and within the book, to draw a conclusion about whether Chase is a good person, a bad person, or something in between. When you think you have a good idea of who Chase is, fill out this Google Form to be entered into a drawing for a prize!
Questions to think about:
What does Chase remember?
What seems confusing or unusual?
What do other characters say about Chase?
How do people react to him?
What new information do we learn about his past?
Does anything surprise you?
What patterns are you noticing?
Is Chase acting differently than people expect?
August 31 OSOB Family Engagement Activity
Identity Collage: Family Activity
As part of our One School One Book experience with Restart by Gordon Korman, students are exploring the theme of identity--who a person is, how others see them, and how people can grow and change over time.
Create a collage that represents your family’s identity. You can include words that describe you, drawings or doodles, symbols or pictures, photos (printed or drawn), or magazine cut outs. Think about what makes your family unique? What do you value? What are you proud of? How might others see your family? There is no right or wrong what to complete this--just be creative and have fun.
• Your collage should be at least the size of a regular sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches) • It should not exceed 18 x 24 inches • You may use paper, poster board, or any materials you have at home • A digital version is also welcome if your family prefers to create it on a device
If your student brings his or her completed collage to school, it will be be displayed as part of our One School One Book celebration. If you do it digitally, you can submit it to allyson.ellingsworth@fayette.kyschools.us
August 27-31st OSOB Activity
Everyone makes mistakes, but not every mistake has to define a person forever. Some people believe everyone deserves another opportunity, while others think trust has to be earned. What do you think?
Think about what you would do, then open the Google Form linked below and answer the question. Students who participate will be put into a drawing for a prize. The Google form will close on August 31st at noon. (Remember to make all of your answers school appropriate. Your email gets collected with your answers.)
August 25-26th OSOB Activity
Follow the directions below to create a Who Am I square. One of your team teachers will have a square for you to use. Make sure your name is on the back and turn these in to either your teacher, or Mrs. Ellingsworth in the library before Friday, August 28th!
August 25, 2026 OSOB Activity
We've all done things we wish we could take back. Sometimes those mistakes teach us important lessons. But what if everyone forgot one of your mistakes? Would you make the same choice again?
Think about what you would do, then open the Google Form linked below and answer the question. Students who participate will be put into a drawing for a prize. The Google form will close on August 24th at noon. (Remember to make all of your answers school appropriate. Your email gets collected with your answers.)
I would like to know what books you would like to see added to our library. If you have requests, please fill out this Google Form.
