World Read Aloud Day
This is very special! For World Read Aloud Day, I had asked teachers to take some time in their classes to read aloud to their students. Maureen Sullivan and her 5th grade class took the assignment a bit further.
Maureen came to me and asked if we had "Math Curse" by John Scieszka.Our library did not have it, but was able to order the book and get it quickly.. After she read the "Math Curse" to her class, the students and Ms. Sullivan decided maybe they could write their own math book. They did!!
The students worked in their math class and in the computer lab. Each student thought of a real life math problem, wrote it, and provided an illustration. The students worked with each other, deciding on the title page, book cover, dedication page, and their math problem individual page.
Two additional teachers collaborated to make this project happen: Mrs. Ackerley, their computer teacher, and Mrs. Scholl, the librarian. The culmination of the project was a hard copy book, written by Ms. Sullivan's 5th grade math class titled, Math Madness. The book will be on display in the library and available for check out starting in September. Kudos to Maureen Sullivan and her 5th grade math class! Peace! Catherine
