I’ve included a simple PK version which can be done as a whole group, with an older elementary buddy, or done as homework with the assistance of a parent. I'll be sharing 3 of them in today's blog along with a sweet back to school FREEBIE.īecause I like to mix math with literacy, I designed the Chrysanthemum Name Comparison Math Craftivity, where students compare their name with Chrysanthemum’s. With that in mind, I enjoyed making a variety of Chrysanthemum-themed activities appropriate for PK-1st grade. It’s perfect for a variety of ages, and especially wonderful as an introduction to name activities, as well as discussions about teasing, bullying and “filling buckets”. “Chrysanthemum” by Kevin Henkes, is one of my all-time favorite back to school books. 1-2-3 come Do Some Chrysanthemum Activities With Me My husband has walked in on me listening to the series so much over the years that he imitates Emerson with a “Good Gad, Peabody,” every now and then. So I slowly added the entire Amelia Peabody series up to the most recent book, and then added them as they were published. And with that Kindle I got a few free audiobooks. It was what we now call a Paperwhite-read or listen only. Then, in 2011, through a consumer product testing company, I got my first Kindle. For years I would borrow the library audiobook and make a copy for my own personal use. The series is like Nancy Drew all grown up and thrown back in time. It combined many of the things that interested me: Victorian era, Egyptology, a feminist a bit ahead of her time, and a little bit of romance (very little). Years ago, when I first started checking out library audiobooks, I stumbled upon the Amelia Peabody mystery series and my life was changed forever.

His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of our nation. Soon a man is dead and Beecher is on the run as he races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure. After they accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact-a two-hundred-year-old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington-hidden underneath a desk chair, Beecher and Clementine find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder. When Clementine Kaye, Beecher’s first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help tracking down her long-lost father, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. He has always been the keeper of other people’s stories, never a part of the story himself. Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. It’s one of those books where I hated it but also want to read the sequel just to see if it gets even more soap opera-like…?” The premise is that in future America, there’s a thousand-floor skyscraper that is the center of New York City, and inside are not just apartments, but whole shopping malls, gardens, streets, cafes, clubs, whatever. Besides making my skin crawl with a truly astonishing/sickening/I-can’t-believe-the-author-actually-went-there attempt at a romance (how-HOW–could anyone POSSIBLY think it acceptable…?), this book is basically “People drink, take drugs, and make out all the time” combined with some sort of revenge plot. My brief Goodreads review that I posted immediately after reading was “Well, this book was certainly…something. It’s one of the most soap-opera-y, Gossip Girl-y, shove-random-mashed-up-words-together-to-indicate-worldbuilding-y books I’ve read in a while. Rating: 2/5 I don’t even know how to start with this book. Craig’s appealing artwork is decompressed and crisp, and aided by Lee Loughridge’s European-style color palette. At first, the book to explores the society and intrigue of the school, but this is abandoned for more gratuitous thrills, soon moving to the depressing murder of a homeless man for a homework assignment, then sidetracking into a pointless drug-fueled murder trip to Las Vegas. The cops are chasing him for a mysterious crime, but he’s rescued at the last minute by a one-man-army-of-a-teen-girl cliché who recruits him to a secret high school that trains assassins. The year is 1987, and young Marcus Lopez Arguello is homeless and suicidal following the death of his parents. Built on the comic book trope of a secret school for gifted youngsters à la X-Men, and mixing in John Hughes’ high school clique clichés, Remender’s self-described “memoir of sorts wrapped in the guise of a crime thriller” ends up not being much of either. Except this time, we follow Donatella, and she has stumbled on her own very own mystery and her very own game. Well, immediately after the outcome from Caraval, Legendary picks right up. In Caraval we follow Scarlett and watch her run away from her home, and her abusive father, so that she can try to rescue her sister, Donatella, by winning the magical game of Caraval. And guess what? Legendary was no different. I devoured it in two sittings and never wanted to stop the reading experience. From the game, to the mystery, to the lyrical writing, to the compelling characters, I couldn’t get enough. I know that Caraval was a super polarizing read last year when it released, but I fell on the side of totally loving. “But the best villains are the ones you secretly like, and my nana always said Legend was the villain in Caraval.” Goodreads | Amazon US| Barnes & Noble | Book DepositoryĪRC provided by Flatiron in exchange for an honest review. |
