Global Read Aloud
Our students and
teachers are participating in the Global Read Aloud. This program was
created by Pernille Ripp with the idea of using one book to connect the world.
The program has been in existence for five years with 200,000 students
connected. Our teachers will be reading aloud, Fish in a Tree by
Lynda Mullaly Hunt to our students. Classrooms will be using a variety of
tech tools to connect our children and classrooms to children across the United
States and around the world. The book is the platform for the
conversations, a digital book club, but much more is learned during the
connection.
This week at our All
School Assembly, we introduced the students to the themes in the book and
listened to the author read a few pages.
Thank you to Mrs. Klipfel
