The One and Only Ivan

Last week we began a new read aloud, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.

The One and Only Ivan is fiction but is loosely based on a true story of a Silverback Gorilla. The cool thing about this read aloud is that we are reading it along with several other classrooms all around the world. It is a part of the Global Read Aloud which provides opportunities for students to connect with other classrooms around the globe. The students are so excited about this read aloud and potential opportunity to connect with other classrooms. 

Here we are on the partipant map: 

I am excited to participate in the Global Read Aloud with the students and can't wait to dive into this amazing story.
