The Global Read Aloud: Week 1
This years First Graders are participating in the Global Read Aloud. The Global Read Aloud connects schools all around the world through books. We have been reading books by Mem Fox and using technology to share ideas and thoughts around each of her books. During the first week of the Global Read Aloud we read Koala Lou and learned about different Australian animals. We decided to teach others about the animals that we find in our area by using PebbleGo, PicCollage and Book Creator. Students had to learn about how to safely and legally use images and how to display images and text so that it easy to read for our audience. In the end they ended up with this beautiful collaborative book!
