Hello All,
Well were are ending our book on Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and next week we planned a Murder Mystery Lunch during book club. In between talking about the end of the book and solving a crime. Of course there will be snacks and games to play - games they played in 1959?? Simultaneously, we will be starting our next book "The Line" by Teri Hall. We have contacted Ms. Hall and she has written back! We will keep Ms. Hall abreast of our reading and activities as we travel through the book and understand each character and discuss "What would we do if it happened to us?" By the way nice curriculum Ms. Hall!!! Have a great day!

Summer Book club 2012 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Hello
Well, the girls are loving Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and so am I! I find the independence of this boy in the book, to keep exploring, is amazing. I myself would leave the island as soon a I landed! Today we are painting some mini chests to represent the trunk where Jacob found the odd and vintage pictures. We will also be writing our own mini-lite mystery story, (mini-lite) is a word Natalie made up to mean a paragraph or two mystery in which the mystery is also solved. Challenging!!

Summer 2012 Bookclub
Hello Everyone!
The summer book club this year is: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Wow the students are very intrigued so far! We just had the our first meeting by reading about the author and reviewing the first Chapter! I have made an attempt to contact Mr. Riggs to get some ideas for some events or activities for the students. We will see. That's all for now. I know one activity they will probably do is sketching! We also sketched when we reviewed "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" and the students loved it! I may say they did a very nice job too! I may post some sketches later... Well that's all for now, we will talk later as the weeks go by...
