The Book of Will - Santa Rosa

Performances are Thursday - Saturday nights at 7:30pm,
Matinees:  Saturday & Sunday at 2pm.
Where Would We Be Without Shakespeare’s Words?
Three years after William Shakespeare’s death, his brilliant plays are being
pirated & wretchedly performed. The friends are horrified when they learn
through a shocking loss just how much of Shakespeare’s words are kept
in memory rather than in writing. They become determined to preserve
the work & commit to printing it all in one volume before it is lost forever.
First, however, they must find the plays – all 36 of them!  Join them in their
heartful, funny “wild goose chase” to create the ultimate guide to Shakespeare;
the First Folio.

Read On Sonoma County

is the tool we use to practice & support reading in our Classrooms.
Students are able to choose to read a book or article that is of interest
to them.  A reading level & goal are set for each student based on where
they are as readers.  When a student completes a reading, they take
a short quiz to monitor comprehension.  Based on their score, students
are given points toward their individual goal.  At the end of each trimester,
incentives & celebrations are available for students who meet their goals.
Progress is monitored through a diagnostic benchmark, STAR Reading,
taken 3 times a year.
