Adventures in Books activities

This week we are going to the library to complete some electives that go with our monthly theme "Adventures in Books".


Elective 6A~ Go to the Library and get a library card
Elective 6B~ Choose a book
Requirement 10D~ Read a book with your family
Elective 6C~ Make a book cover

Don't know what to use for your book cover paper? How about old wrapping paper that is turned backwards giving you a white cover? Or you can buy brown butcher paper rolls at your local office supply store. We plan on precutting the paper before the meeting.

Adventures in Books

This month we have taken the Adventures in Book theme and we are writing our own adventure story! We chose a Pirate theme and gave the boys a bag full of pirate goodies for them to include in their stories. Since we will be using a computer to write our stories, we will also knock out the computer Electives 21 A, B and C and also the computer belt loop! In addition we will be going to the library to get our library card, checking out a book and making the book cover (Electives 6A, B and C).

All of our crafts will be done with a Pirate theme this month. We did a demonstration for the boys to show them how the stories had to include each of the items in the bag and they had a blast. Many of the parents stopped me on the way out and said that thier son's were already working on their stories in the car!

We included the following items to be included in the stories:

Bandana

Eye Patch

Tattoos

Gold and Silver or coins

Jewels

Treasure map

Ring

Remember: To Err is Human, to Arr is Pirate!
