One of the most exciting parts of the Global Read Aloud is the opportunity to make connections with students in other places. We've been fortunate to get to communicate with classes in different locations. One of those is Ms. Pogue's class in Dunsford, Ontario, Canada. We've had the chance to learn more about them (and about Canada). Even though the Global Read Aloud is over, third graders are still writing to our new friends!

GRA: The Reader
The third week of the Global Read Aloud found us reading Amy Hest's The Reader illustrated by Lauren Castillo.
Students decided what book they would have read if they were the reader in the book and shared their answers using the collaborative website Padlet. Take a look at their answers through the links below.

GRA: The Troublemaker
The second week of the Global Read Aloud focused on Lauren Castillo's book The Troublemaker which tells the story of a boy who gets in trouble for taking a toy that belongs to his sister. Students who were really paying attention to what was going on in the background picked up on another troublemaker in the story! We then discussed whether or not we would like to have a brother like the one in the book and why.

GRA: Nana in the City
During the first week of the Global Read Aloud, first-third graders read Lauren Castillo's Nana in the City. The boy in this book is feeling nervous as he visits his Nana in the big scary city. She makes him a red superhero cape to help him faces his fears. Students came up with ideas of what their own superhero cape could help them do.

Book Based Costumes
I'm a big fan of book based costumes. This year I dressed up as the book The Paperbag Princess for Halloween. If you haven't read it, this is a wonderful story that turns the standard princess tale on its head. Mrs. Ginn dressed up as a Book Witch. See if you can find some favorite titles on her costume!
