How can one book connect the world? Why with the Global Read-Aloud of course! Team Gibbas students have been reading the book A Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt as part of the Global Read-Aloud which was launched on October 5th. Classrooms from around the world commit to reading certain chapters of the book on specified weeks. Classrooms then have the opportunity to discuss what they've read with other classrooms. One way to connect is through KidBlog. After reading chapters 1 - 8 the week of October 5th students offered the main character Ally advice on how to work through her reading challenges. This week after reading chapter 11 and learning about Ally's struggles to make conversation with a classmate, Team Gibbas students blogged about ways to make conversation with someone you don't know well.
