My Students
Can you imagine students all over the world, reading one book, and then making global connections to discuss the book? It's that time again, Global Read Aloud 2014! This year, the entire 5th grade will participate, connecting, not only with each other, but also the world!
My students are wonderful!
They are a diverse group of students in terms of race, income, gender, and ability levels. I have students who work at high levels and love to be challenged, down to students who need that extra push. We are an elementary school that is working hard to get our students reading, by any means necessary!
My Project
Individual copies of "The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane", will give each student the opportunity to have their own book to read at home or in school. As we read, we will partner with a number of classes all over the country and the world. We will participate in discussions, projects, and activities, based on the book. It's easier to enjoy a great story when you can follow along. While I read, "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" my students will read along with me.
My students will have a chance to share and collaborate with students outside of our classroom, while enjoying a great story. We will share our viewpoints, participate in discussions, and complete projects via Skype, Edmodo, email, blogs, websites, etc..!
Having their own copy of the book will make it easier to participate. They will learn to read fluently, express their ideas in verbal and written form, use context clues,understand the author's viewpoints, and most of all, enjoy a well-written story!
Your donations will allow our classes to participate in the Global Read Aloud Project 2014 with a book of their own.
My struggling readers will be able to follow along as I read. My higher level readers will be able to move along in the story on their own.
The broad impact of this project will be to promote a love of reading! The students will be able to create projects that they will share with a global audience. My ultimate goal, to have our students read all year!
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
