Hurley's Complete Global Read Aloud

                            The One and Only Ivan is Class Favorite

     We completed all 300 pages of our global read aloud text. The One and Only Ivan is our new class favorite! It is a wonderful story of triumph, sorrow, heartbreak, and dreams come true. Read it again as a family. Have your third grader read aloud for you with expression. Cry together. Cheer together. Enjoy a great discussion of the message.
     We were not able to Skype with our buddy class in California but the program was still a success. We participated in an online wiki group with classes from around the world. 30,000 students on 6 different continents read simultaneously.  What a great accomplishment. There is a possibility that there will be a second session in the spring. If so, we will certainly participate. We look forward to the announcement of the program and can't wait to see what text is selected!
