The 5th Graders are embarking on an incredible journey next week! We will be reading the book chosen as this year's Global Read Aloud, Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. This means that over 100,000 students from all over the world will be reading this book aloud in their classrooms with their teachers during the month of October. Teachers have been encouraged to connect with other classes across the world to talk about the book. Think of it as a huge book club!
SHA 5th graders will be connecting with two different Jewish Day Schools. One school is in St. Paul, MN and the other is in Jacksonville, FL. (I've also posted links to their class blogs on the left side bar.) We will be connecting via blogs and Skype/Google Hangouts. This will be our first experience "flattening the walls" of our classroom, and I (Mrs. A.) am very excited!
