Soon we will be taking part in the Global Read Aloud. What you may ask is the Global Read Aloud? The Global Read Aloud connects children from around the world over a shared book. This year there are four books to choose from. Mrs. Betts has chosen the book Marty McGuire by Kate Messner .
This is a chapter book which Mrs. Betts will read to use over the course of six weeks. We will do a variety of projects with the book. We will read the book with many classes at once using Skype. some of the classes that we will connect with are in Surrey, some are in Canada and some are even outside of Canada! It should be an exciting way to learn and share our thinking! Below is the schedule that we will follow.
Week 1 Sept 30: Chapters 1-2 (pg. 1-19)Week 2 Oct 7: Chapters 3-5 (pg. 20-38)Week 3 Oct 14: Chapters 6-7 (pg. 39-57)Week 4 Oct 21: Chapters 8-9 (pg. 58-79)Week 5 Oct 28: Chapters 10-11 (pg. 80-95)Week 6 Nov 4: Chapters 12-14 (pg. 96-131)
We are excited to be taking part in this project. This is our first time so we have no idea of what to expect but think it should be fun!
How exciting! Did you know that there is a second Marty McGuire book? It's called "Marty McGuire digs Worms." Do you think you'd like to read another story about Marty Mc Guire? From Matt and Nik's mom
