Global Read Aloud: Viva Frida

This week for Global Read Aloud, we read the book Viva Frida by Yuyi Morales.  


This beautiful book uses strong verbs to tell what makes Frida "live".  Our second grade students have already been introduced to Frida in art class and several weeks ago, they created artistic self portraits with Mrs. Ryan (our art teacher). 

After reading the book in library this week, students created a more simple self portrait.  Then, the students used the Chatterpix app to make their drawings tell what they enjoy doing.  The Chatterpix app is very simple to use and is perfect for this activity! Here are two of their videos:




After saving their short Chatterpix video, most students uploaded their videos to our Global Read Aloud Flipgrid board (a few students didn't have time to upload).  This is how we are able to share the videos with our Global Read Aloud friends.  Visit this Flipgrid link to see all of their cute videos.  If you are a Global Read Aloud 2019 participant, feel free to have your students add their own videos!

Happy Reading!
