So last Friday you all got copies of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to read. I know some of you have read it before (zillions of times in some cases, I gather), but some of you have never read it before. Enjoy it! If you know it very well, just [...]

Welcome back! I know that you saw a lot and learned even more about the lives of Pilgrims on your recent trip to Plimoth Plantation.
Let’s make a list of the various aspects of Pilgrim life that you studied and experienced during your visit:
Pilgrim meal (manners, utensils, food)
Activities (games, writing with a quill, clothing, mystery [...]
Things to keep in mind as you write your next post:
Scenes
Why did you decide to do one part of a chapter and not another? Go back and look at your favorite illustrator —all them had to make choices about what to illustrate. For example, John Tenniel doesn’t show her with the long neck in [...]

They spelled anyway they wanted [...]
From Ms. Younge:
Here is a GREAT website for you to check out at home. You can tour the Mayflower, compare the daily lives of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag, and watch a slide show on the Thanksgiving Feast. It has lots of great pictures and a Thanksgiving Web Quest quiz. Enjoy!
Starting today you are going to do a series of posts called “All About Alice” in which you will document your work with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Bloggers do this often. These are sort of like columns in magazines or newspapers. Sometimes a blogger will do this weekly so yours will be on [...]
