A Community of Readers


One District-One Book Postscript, February 11, 2011:

Our "Princely Party" on February 9 was a terrific event! We had over 90 participants who played Little Prince Jeopardy, designed royal postcards, created magnificent crowns, flew paper airplanes through the desert and planted very special flowers. After the activities, we gathered in the Palos South Commons to distribute raffle prizes and view videos showing student projects. Many thanks to everyone who participated in this One District-One Book Community Reading Project!

Our chapter activities, podcasts and quotations will remain online in this blog for everyone to enjoy and for other schools to use or adapt. Please take some time to view our student projects on our district website.

Chapter 13

Chapter Podcast by Mrs. Angela Turner, Palos East Fifth Grade Teacher

Chapter Quote:
"I own the stars because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."

Think & Read:
If you put your name on something, does that mean you own it?  What things are important to own?  Of all the things that you own, which one is the most important to you?  What qualities or things can you own or possess that cannot be bought in a store?

Optional Activities:
Make a collage of things that nobody should be allowed to own - that should belong to everyone!

    Stars are not allowed to be owned. It dosen't matter if you think that you were the first to own them, maybe someone else thought of owning them first. THEY DON'T BELOONG TO ANYONE!!!!!!!
