Take a look at this map - it shows all of the connections we have made so far during the Global Read Aloud! From Texas to Kentucky, New Hampshire to right here in Minnesota, we are taking our learning around the world.
Last week, we read The Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle. This book is about a chameleon who wants to be just like other animals - to have their special talents and to look like them. But by the end of the book, he realizes that he is special the way he is, and he likes to be himself.
After reading the book, we used technology to connect with Mrs. Tongen's Kindergarteners just down the hall! We went online at the same time and used Padlet.com to share ideas about what makes each of us special. Then, Mrs. Tongen's kids came down to visit our room so we could see them face to face. It was a great way to remember that our digital friends are real people that we can see, talk to, and even hug!
