If I were Charlie Bone! #2

We are getting deeper in to the book Midnight for Charlie Bone, and Charlie is getting ready for his first day at Bloor's Academy. When we left Charlie, his mother and Grandma Maisie were having some fun with him and his "endowed" powers by having Charlie listen to the photographs of famous celebrities in magazines, which upset Grandma Bone.
We are calling upon you again to "listen" to photographs and give your impressions of the photograph below.
Be Creative and Have Fun!

If I were Charlie Bone! #1

This week, we have started reading aloud, Midnight for Charlie Bone. We have read that Charlie has an interesting gift, one that allows him to hear what's going in the photographs that he sees. Can you imagine what that would be like, hearing what people are saying while the photos are being taken?
Pretend that you have the abilities of Charlie Bone, and you can hear what is happening in photographs. Use your new found ability to be like Charlie and tell what you "hear" from the photo below.





Be Creative and Have fun!

This is the first of what will hopefully be a weekly entry into our blogs called the "If I were Charlie Bone!" entries. Check back next week for a new picture and all those new "voices" it brings with it.

The Preserve of Fablehaven

We have just finished a read aloud of the book, Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. There is a promise at the front of the book that none who enter Fablehaven will leave unchanged. How did their experiences at Fablehaven change Seth and Kendra? Most of us were able to make a lot of connections with the characters in the story, because of our curiosity and imaginations. What do you take from the book? What was your overall opinion of the novel? And, does this make you want to read more of the series?
