News from the library -- February 16, 2009

2nd GRADERS went on a story-telling adventure when we read Louise, The Adventures of a Chicken by: Kate DiCamillo. Ms. DiCamillo is well known for her others books: Because of Winn Dixie, The Miraclulous Journey of Edward Tulane, and The Tale of Despereaux.

In Louise, The Adventures of a Chicken, Lousie longs for adventure... true adventure! The book is divided into three chapters: Louise At Sea, Louise Up High, and Louise Unbound. Can you guess where Louise's adventures will take her? The students had fun predicting the settings of each chapter. If you enjoy storytelling or just plain long for an adventure...this is definately a book for you!
