One month down and many more to go!

Our first monthly book club just finished up with our first book, Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo. Our group got together in the beginning of November to kick off the month and finished up just before the Thanksgiving break.

We had a lot of fun and did so much more than talk about Flora and her bizarre furry friend, Ulysses.  Our group extended our time with 

• watching video clips of Kate DiCamillo herself talking about how she got inspired to write the book, 
• creative magnetic poetry on cookie sheets, 
• creative word lists and definitions for Flora and Ulysses very decorative vocabulary
• journaling and creating our own animal superheroes
• and of course, laughing and snacking!

Here is Kate talking all about the book, about writing, and sharing her gift of humor and story telling to a group of young (and eager!) fans!

And finally......

....our poetry that was inspired by the one and only Ulysses was created.  Enjoy the samples that were created!
