Cody and the Mysteries of the Universe– a chapter book that offers a lot of story in a smaller package, and new to our library! Cody is a thoughtful girl, but sometimes she feels her family and friends don’t think she’s thoughtful enough (maybe too much action instead). But Cody wonders about a lot of things she sees and hears…and some of them cause a little bit of worry- for her friends, her family, and even the new kids she initially feared. The Meen family can make quite a few kids scared… Cody and her best friend find that mysteries are the most satisfying to solve when they end in music and new connections. Another bonus? This is one in a series for those who prefer series chapter books as a transition from picture book fiction. (Great for grades 2-5)
Sketch review…
Welcoming students for the past two weeks has included a little old fashioned magazine collage. We made bookmarks showing some of our favorite things to read. I also encouraged them to add things they might want to read about this year. We used old magazines, crayons and and glue. (Glitter would have been nice, but not nice to our books so alas, we skipped it)
