Today is a very exciting day in 3rd grade! We're beginning The Global Read Aloud with more than 500,000 other students all over the globe. A fellow participant created this map to show other classes around the world that are also reading "Fish in a Tree"...we added our pin to the map!
Pernille Ripp, the founder of The Global Read Aloud, has welcomed us to this year's project with this message:
AND...Lynda Mullaly Hunt, the author of our read aloud story has also welcomed us and even read the first chapter of the book to us. We're sooo lucky and can't wait to start the journey...
Throughout the next six weeks, we'll be following along to a specific plan for The Global Read Aloud. We don't want to read ahead of our connected classrooms or fall too far behind. So, if you're following along with us at home, be sure to follow our game plan! Also, Mrs. Redford has purchased a few extra copies of FIAT for our RES Library that parents will be able to check out...feel free to join us on our Global Read Aloud journey!!

Hi Miss Darby,
ReplyDeleteI'm Molly Wojo and I am a pre-service teacher new to edublogs. I am really interested in this global read aloud and was wondering how I would be able to keep up with this? Is there a way I can follow you or do I have to bookmark your page? Please help this non-tech savy girl!
You can follow along on a number of platforms...different classes are using different ways to connect around the world. One of the easiest ways to follow along is to follow the various hashtags on Twitter. (Don't worry, if you don't have a Twitter account, you can still follow by searching the hashtags.)
ReplyDeleteThe Global Read Aloud Hashtag is: #gra15
Fish in a Tree is: #grafiat
Other books have other hashtags. You can check out the homepage of The Global Read Aloud for more information. www.theglobalreadaloud.com.
Good luck and happy reading,
