One Book to Connect the World • This October, our class will be participating in the Global Read Aloud. Over 600,000 students are signed up to participate. While we read a Global Read Aloud book last year, this will be our first time using technology to share our experience with other classrooms.

We will be reading the book Pax by Sara Pennypacker and connecting with students around the world using technology tools such as Skype and Twitter. We are excited to take part in our first every Mystery Skype, to meet a class we will be connecting with throughout the project. To quote the Global Read Aloud welcome letter, we are hopeful “this project will allow for our students to use technology tools in a meaningful way, as well as learn about other cultures, all while listening to a fantastic read aloud.”
