Global Read Aloud

Posted on September 28, 2014 by rachelclare

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:

Breakdown for the 6 weeks:
Week 1: Chapters 1 – 5
Week 2: Chapters 6 – 10
Week 3: Chapters 11 – 15
Week 4: Chapters 16 – 20
Week 5: Chapters 21 – 25
Week 6: Chapters 26 – end

Buddies

Posted on September 28, 2014 by rachelclare

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.
