The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is one of my favorite books. I read this story every year to my students when I taught in the classroom. Each year we would laugh and cry together as we would go on a journey with Edward. It would be my pleasure to share Edward’s journey with your child. 

Homework Offered
After our sessions each week, learners will be asked to read 6 short chapters and complete an activity/discussion questions to go with the chapters read. Prior to our first session no reading needs to be completed. We will begin the story together. 

A detailed schedule is attached in the provided class file that I will attach to the classroom after our first session. I will also remind learners each week which chapters to read and what assignment to complete. *Please do not read ahead of our schedule so that we can all enjoy the story together.
