For WRAD we started off our day with a poem on announcements. One fifth grade class also got to Skype with Alan Silberberg. That was a real treat. He read from Milo: Sticky Notes & Brain Freeze and even read the beginning of a book that hasn't yet been published. It seems like this new book is going to be pretty awesome. I wish I had caught a picture of the kids laughing. They had a wonderful time.
I will keep adding more pictures and information as the day goes on. It should be a great day!
Just finished sharing Dust Bunnies and Elephant & Piggie in the lunchroom to first through fifth grade as they came through. Fun times. One of our subs even helped and she was an awesome reader.
One of our first grade classes got to meet Linda Urban. She has written some excellent chapter books and this very fun picture book called Mouse was Mad
Her read aloud was really fun.
The kids had a great time making mad faces at the beginning and happy faces at the end just like mouse.
Some of our first graders read aloud to book characters.
One of our 3rd grade classes even got to visit with Mr. Sharp's class in Michigan. We talked about our favorite books and had some fun read alouds too.
The final Read Aloud activity of the day was when our whole fourth grade Skyped with Mr. Schu's first and second graders. We read poetry to them and they read Elephant & Piggie to us. It was a lot of fun. Whew.
I love, love, love World Read Aloud Day!!! And the fun is just beginning. Some of the classes weren't able to Skype today, so we have more tomorrow, Friday, Monday & next Wednesday. Thanks to all the authors, teachers, and students that read with us today. We loved meeting you all.
