Global Read Aloud

This term we will be participating in the Global Read Aloud. We will be connecting with schools from around the globe to share our thoughts. The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. 5 W will be reading ‘The Fourteenth Goldfish’ by Jennifer L. Holm:

Buddies

1 Finn and 5 Webb conduct weekly Buddy Reading sessions. Every Friday we meet in the library where students find their buddies. The younger students read aloud to their older buddies and then the older students read a book to the younger students.
