Exciting News!!
Starting next Monday 10/5, our class will be taking part in the Global Read Aloud of 2015! The Global Read Aloud (GRA) is a project that started 5 years ago with the simple goal: one book to connect the world. The teacher picks a book from a selected list to read aloud to the students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. We will be connecting with a 2nd grade class in Wisconsin and Canada. We will be using the site "Kidblog" to connect with the classes to share what we predict will happen, making connections and better understand the story. We will also try to Skype with the classes as well.
Which book will we be reading?? A great book by an amazing author. The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes. He wrote some of your child's favorites such as Lily 's Purple Plastic Purse, Chrysanthemum and Wemberly Worried.

If you would like get the book for your child you can, but I will hold onto the book in the classroom because I don't want them to read ahead and spoil things. I am so excited to get started next week!
