RE middle school celebrate reading with OBODOS and author Jasmine Warga
Author Jasmine Warga shared insights about her bestselling young adult novel A Rover's Story with middle school students at the seventh annual One Book, One Day, One School (OBODOS) event at RE's middle school on April 2. The renowned writer took the Swenson Hall stage to share her personal story and also chatted one-on-one with students as she signed their books. The students jointly read A Rover's Story in preparation for OBODOS, a now highly anticipated celebration of reading that includes a variety of activities designed to complement that year's selected book.
After meeting the author, students enjoyed designing their own space rovers, learning about a lunar rover designed by University of Miami students, participating in an obstacle course, enjoying a robotics demonstration and taking part in team-building competitions. Students rotated from activity to activity throughout the school day, which was designed to explore themes raised by the emotional story of the Mars rover named Resilience: STEM/robotics, space and exploration, teamwork, emotions and connection, friendship and overcoming challenges.
