How Was School Today? explores the richly complex school experiences of Katie, a fifth-grader, in a very small school that educates children of varying ages and academic capabilities together. Katie's experiences provide an opportunity to wonder about the school experiences of any child. Structured as a journal of conversations between Katie and her father, this book is organized into four chronological parts, with an epilogue that explains what Katie and other school participants have done since her fifth grade year. An appendix discusses lessons learned from Katie's school year that are applicable to all children and their school experiences. How Was School Today? goes inside a world about which parents typically know very little, and about which teachers may wish to learn more.
