Global Read Aloud Project

'Out of my Mind' - Global Read Aloud Project 

We have begun reading the book 'Out of my Mind' as part of the Global Read Aloud' initiative where classroom teachers all over the world read the same chapters of the book to their classes in a sequence decided in advance. We learned how to use Edmodo so that we could communicate with our partner schools and discuss what was happening in the book. Our teacher also participates regularly in google hangouts with our partner teachers from all over the world to discuss and organise our involvment in the Global Read Aloud project. 'Out of My MInd' is written by Sharon Draper and is about a girl called Melody who is eleven years old and has cerebral palsy. Although she is full of words and thoughts she has never been able to communicate those thoughts. 
Read our first blog posts about Melody and why we now believe that we will think differently about people with disabilities as a result of hearing Melody's story.

    Who We Are

    We are 5th and 6th class in St. Joseph's primary school in Kinvara which is a seaside village in South Galway on the west coast of Ireland. We have been blogging about our learning since the beginning of the year and we have made many amazing connections with other classrooms in Ireland and all over the world. We look forward to making lots more global connections during our time in 5th class.
