My Project

I am a librarian who works with students who love reading. Through the Global Read Aloud, students can listen to amazing books read aloud by their teachers and connect with other classes to discuss these books.

This project would provide my students with the amazing books needed for the Global Read Aloud and Battle of the Books March Madness.

The 2024 GRA books will help students learn about authors Minh Le and Antinuke. We will also tie in learning about different genres. These stories will help my students see the world in a bigger context. The Battle of the Books will teach about courage and friendship.

Grades 3-5
