This project will start October 2nd and will run for approximately 6 weeks. The idea behind it is very simple; teachers around the world read the same book aloud to their students and then use technology to share the reading experience with these other classrooms. It is a free project and it fits perfectly into the standards we have to cover. </span></div>

We will use technology tools such as Edmodo and our class blog to facilitate these connections and conversations. </span></div>

This project will allow for our students to use technology tools in a meaningful way, as well as learn about other cultures, all while listening to a fantastic read aloud. </span></div>

We could all connect with listening to our parents on the phone and then having a discussion with our parent. We made some predictions about what might happen next:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Laina and Brooklyn think that Marty's Mom is going to find some material with a frog print on it to make her princess dress out of.</li>
<li>Torrie thinks Marty will be grounded until she decides to be the princess in the play.</li>
<li>Liam F thinks she might run to her grandparent's if they live no too far away. If they live in the country, she might hide out in the bushes by their place.</li>
<li>Stormi thinks she will just get stubborn and not do it. She will ruin the play for everyone.</li>
<li>Cloe thinks she will go to Annie's house.</li>
<li>Rayna thinks she might go to Annie's and ask her to be the princess for her, because Marty really doesn't want to do it.</li>
</ul>

In the chapter we read yesterday, Laura described the butter making process. So, today we gave it a go ourselves! It turned out deliciously!! It tasted scrumptious on fresh bread from the Quick Stop.
