The Grade 5 students will be taking part in a project called Global Read Aloud as they read their first class novel – ‘Out Of My Mind’ by Sharon Draper. The students will read chapters of the book at the same time as hundreds of fifth grade classes across America and internationally. They will then connect with two classes to share ideas on edmodo, Skype to discuss and possibly even set up kidblogs to share their writing. This is going to be an exciting adventure into global reading ! We will start on 30th September, so check the blog for updates.

I look forward to watching the Grade 5 students explore this novel and at the same time explore connections with other global classrooms !
