Global collaboration is necessary to show students that they are part of something bigger than them. That the world needs to be protected and that we need to care for all people. You can show them pictures of kids in other countries but why not have them speak to each other? Then the caring can begin.

Yippee! Ivan won! Two books with animals as major characters?! Stellar!
Never read "The One and Only Ivan"! Buying it today! Can't wait to be involved with the kids!
Yay! I love the One and Only Ivan and was planning on reading it with another class at my school. Now we can collaborate with the world!
The One and Only Ivan is a great choice! Cannot wait until October!
I am so excited for October now! Both books I voted for won and can't wait to share these with my students!
I LOVE both of the choices for this year!! I can't wait to share these books with my students!
The One and Only Ivan is an amazing book. I read this to my class last year and skyped with Katherine Applegate. My students loved this book! Great, great choice!
And well, Charlotte's Web! Awesome always, too!
So excited to participate for the first time this year! The One and Only Ivan has been on my "to read" shelf for a while now.
Hi,
Charlotte's Web is one of my favourite books, I have shared this book with my girls as they were growing up and I am looking forward to sharing it with the children at shool and as part of the Global Read Aloud.
I just read The One and Only Ivan, and wanted to share it with my students. I will sign up right now!
There's a great biography of E.B White that centers around his writing of Charlotte's Web, called appropriately The Story of Charlotte's Web. The book by Michael Sims has been out about a year now. There is an NPR piece about the book at

My 4th-grade teacher read Charlotte's Web to our class in 1962 when the book was relatively new. It's held a special place for me ever since.
Also, I'm looking forward to reading The One and Only Ivan to my class later on.
I can't wait to spread the word to my teammates. LOVE The One and Only Ivan. Last year was such a wonderful experience with Flat Stanley - Looking forward to October.
