+Pernille Ripp is the organizer and creator of The Global Read Aloud. After participating last year, I knew I couldn't miss this amazing global opportunity for my fourth graders. My students were so excited to read, write, and work collaboratively with other classrooms.
Last year we selected the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. One classroom we connected with was Melissa Dowling's class from Sunnyvale, CA. We read, Skyped, and blogged with our new friends from California while reading the book.
4th Grader Natalie M. Created a Movie Trailer for our 2014 GRA
This year I selected Fish in a Tree written by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Being my second year participating, and the success from the previous year, I decided to collect some resources that may be helpful.
The Global Read Aloud will take place October 5th and ends November 13th
There is a breakdown for each book so you know what chapters to read each week.

I look forward to my students connecting with others globally. I also plan to have my students create Movie Trailers for the book. I also use Kidblog so my students are able to share their writing with a global audience.
I will continue to add resources as they become available. I would love comments or other suggestions for the book.
