Global Read Aloud...coming soon!

Wonderful news...our class will be participating in an author study via the Global Read Aloud Project. This project connects classrooms around the world. We will be reading a series of books written by Peter H. Reynolds. A wonderful author who writes children's stories with messages about friensdhip, belonging, perseverance and creativity. We will also use the stories to make connections and predictions. We already participated in a Twitter project on International Dot Day (#DOTDAY) where we read the story The Dot. We shared how a simple dot can take us to a million places. We were inspired to make our mark and show our creative side! We shared our creativity on Twitter. Our Dot artwork is also featured outside of our classroom. 

The Global Read Aloud Project will allow us to connect with other classrooms. Each week, we will be reading a different book from Peter H. Reynold's library. We will share and connect with classrooms in Ottawa (and perhaps around the world)! We will share our wonders and our learning via Twitter, Padlet and more. I look forward to participating in this amazing project and can't wait to see what new wonders we will discover. To follow along with our tweets and tweets about the project, we will use the Twitter hashtag #GRA14. Stay tuned to our Class Twitter account...and our Blog for insight into what we learn!
