Halloween and Egypt and mummies... Geronimo will have to think about that.  But when Geronimo's friend Professor Cyril B. Sandsnout asked to come to the The Egyptian Museum, Geronimo was shocked.  He saw a mummy!   But was the mummy real or fake?  Read the book to find out!

Things to Remember

Hi boys and girls,

PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO PUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE PHONE NUMBERS OR LAST NAMES ON YOUR BLOG POSTS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE AND PROTECTED WHILE USING THE BLOG.

You all have so much to be proud of, thanks for all your contributions to the blog. I hope that you are finding new and exciting books to read this summer. Remember to share your thoughts about the books that you are reading. When getting ready to write your posts ask yourself:

If I were the main character what would I do in that situation? How would I handle the problem?
What is the author's purpose? Do I agree or disagree with the authors message? Why?
If I were writing the book how might I change the setting or ending? Why? How would it change the story?

For example, in the book How Baseball Saved Us really enjoyed the author's message about community and how finding a common goal or interest, such as baseball, can help people build trust and overcome difficult situations.

Keep reading!

Keep up the great work!

Hi boys and girls! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer! I am so proud of all your efforts and how much great reading you are doing. You are reading some of my favorite books, Nancy Drew, Judy Blume - I enjoyed reading all of them! I always enjoyed Judy Blume books because I felt like the characters in her books were going through some of the things I was going through- trouble in school, a fight with a brother or sister, making a tough decison. Is that true for you? I am reading mysteries this summer. I love to keep track of the clues using post its or a time line. I like to challenge my self to keep up with the detective! As you write your posts remember to tell how you feel about the books you are reading, what it reminds you of, how you connect to the book or one of the characters- make those text to self, text to text or text to world connections. Happy reading!! You guys are doing great!!!
