12 little groundhogs... will they see their shadow?!?!
We recently read a book titled 'Miss Nelson is Missing!' It is one of my favorite books to read EVER. The kids always love it & it is a great book to help reinforce how important it is to use our detective eyes while reading. It is also a great book to facilitate the skill of inferring. Well, a lot of us predicted that maybe Miss Nelson was just sick or maybe she quit because she was so sad about her class being disrespectful. We had to look really, really closely at the last page to figure out who Ms. Viola Swamp was & where Miss Nelson had been this entire time. In the text it has Miss Nelson saying, "I'll never tell..." We noticed that she had a black dress (similar to Ms. Viola Swamp's dress - but maybe that was just a coincidence). We also noticed the black makeup & eyelashes like Mrs. Viola Swamp's makeup. How could we really figure it out though?!?! Well, Allie noticed in the closet there was a box that had some words written upside down on it. We used our detective eyes & voila! We noticed it read 'WIG' on it. So... it turns out Miss Nelson was in disguise! The kids burst into laughter.
