Today we skyped with a Grade 3 class in Council Buff, Iowa to share our thoughts and predictions about the character Edward Tulane from the Global Read Aloud book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Maddox asked them how they felt when Edward was thrown off the train and Mackenzie wondered if the lady who picked Edward up from the ground would be kind to him. Khloe predicts that Edward will fly back to Abilene's house at the end of the story. Ashley thinks that Edward likes to look at the stars because reminds him of Abilene.
We've had some great discussions about how Edward has changed physically and emotionally. It's nice to discuss this book globally with other students. While we are skyping, we had our Google Earth task group trying to locate their school in Iowa so that we can compare their community with ours. Once again they successfully found them!
