Mrs. Ramsay told us we were going to get a surprise on Friday.We could not figure out what it was.So, when we got back from lunch, we thought we were just going to read
The One and Only Ivan which always makes us happy and excited. We got on our class carpet and sat down with our books, iPods, and iPads. Then all of a sudden a Skype call came through our class computer.Guess who? It was Mrs. Ripp! She is very nice. Mrs.Ripp is the founder of the Global Read Aloud. She with some other teachers chose the book
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate for us to read this year for the Global Read Aloud.
It is one of the best books we have ever read. It is a book about a gorilla and other animals facing life changes in a mall. We all love this book truly. It was written by a very enthusiastic author, who can write very interesting and detailed books.We read to almost the end of the book with Mrs. Ripp. We felt honored and surprised to read with the founder of the Global Read Aloud. This was a great surprise. ~LC

Dear Mrs Ramsay's class,
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great experience to be able to Skype with the founder of Global Read Aloud. Our class has be discussing some similarities between The One and Only Ivan and Charlotte's Web. Do you think both books have a similar theme? What book would you choose for GRA 2013?
