We have begun reading Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper aloud as a whole class. We are connecting with a class from Michigan and a class from Louisiana! Each day we read a chapter from the story, and our connecting classes do the same, we post to edmodo, tweet, and next week we will skype about what we have read, feelings we have, and deeper thinking we have developed about the story. The connections, and insights we have made have been amazing! Not only are we replying to posts written by each teacher about the book, but we are creating and replying to posts written by 4th graders! We are learning so much about communicating over a blog, typing and editing posts, and creating posts that others will reply to. Take a look at a few of the posts we have already made!
Make sure to ask your 4th grader about the GRA, what we have learned about the character, and what lessons we've learned about life!
