The Wheel on the School by Meindert DeJong
This is truly an odd story. A village in Holland is sad because no storks come to nest in their town. The children and their teacher decide to change things by making a project of it; they will find an old wagon wheel and put it on top of the school for storks to nest in.
Pretty soon, the whole town is involved in the project. Everyone is out looking for wagon wheels. Everyone is figuring out how to put the wheel on the school. Everyone is helping put the wagon wheel on the roof of the school. There are plenty of difficulties in the task, including finding the wagon wheel in the first place. The project creates unexpected side benefits of a strong community spirit and new friendships.

I remember my second grade teacher reading this to us in 1976...it made an impression on me, because all these years I remembered the story, but not the name...I am glad I found this! I will have fun reading it to our children!
Our nursery rhyme “Wheels on the bus” started to play in my head as soon as I read the title of your post. Ah! those were the days when we enjoyed studying and now here I am looking for a Essay Writing Service in Los Angeles - Usessaywriter.com so I can just be done with my essay submission.
It left an impression on me because all these years after, I still remember the narrative, but not the name, that our second-grade teacher read to us in 2001. I'm delighted I came across this. I'm looking forward to reading it to our kids!
Please share more blogs like this in the future. Thank You

"The Wheel on the School" spins tales just as captivating as a baby's teething tube brings comfort to little ones. Both stories, in their unique ways, add warmth to life's journey.
