Global Read Aloud 2015
First and second grade students are completing an author study on Amy Krouse Rosenthal. They've already read and discussed Chopsticks and Duck! Rabbit! We will be reading It's Not Fair!, Friendshape, The OK Book and more in the upcoming weeks. The students are using technology like Tumblebooks to access animated ebooks by the author and Google Maps to learn about where the other participants of the Global Read Aloud are from.
Third and fourth grade students are listening to The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes, and fifth grade students are listening to Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. They're able to access the read aloud videos and the online Edmodo book club from the library's website. The students have enjoyed the different backgrounds of the videos made possible by a green screen and the DoInk app. Edmodo allows the students to safely discuss our books with each other and me. They've had a lot of fun using hashtags and personalizing avatars, too!
