The Scientist class has been very busy going on adventures with our friends Jack and Annie from the Magic Tree House book series all year. We have gone to Egypt, to space, most recently on a pirate ship, and almost anywhere you can imagine. We have been reading these short chapter books in hopes of creating more interest in reading. And from what we can tell, it's working! Each day when we read a few more chapters, the children are on the edge of their seats waiting to see what Jack and Annie will encounter next. We often stop and guess what we think will happen, and we talk about the places they have traveled. As soon as one book is finished, another is requested. We just finished Pirates Past Noon, and today we will be starting Afternoon on the Amazon.
