Global Read Aloud - Postcard Exchange

We are reading Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed for the Global Read Aloud. We are using Flipgrid to share reflections on the reading with schools near Chicago, IL and Columbus, OH. We are also writing postcards to about 35 schools around the USA and Canada.

We have created a map to show the location of schools from which we received postcards.
