Global Read Aloud was started in 2010 with a simple mission-one book to connect the world. Now it has grown and classrooms all around the world connect with each other after reading the very same books. Today your children were able to talk with children in New Jersey at a Jewish day school and children in Michigan in a suburb of Detroit. They asked each other questions and shared our writing about being brave. In class we spent time this week discussing Nana in the City. The boy in the book goes to the city to visit his Nana and is afraid of the bustling, noisy city. Nana makes him a cape and he spends the following day bravely exploring the city with Nana. We talked a lot about what makes us brave sometimes. Each child wrote a short piece about being brave. Mrs. Stanton and I made each child their very own red cape just like the boy's cape in the story. Most children wore that cape all day long!
One of our students brought a pumpkin for each child today! This was a most exciting Friday! This is G. looking very brave in her cape and happy about her pumpkin!
