We are Detectives!

Who doesn't love a good mystery? And who doesn't want to figure out the mystery before the end of the book?

The second graders have been reading mysteries in the library this month. We have become storybook detectives, searching for the right clues that will help us to figure out the puzzle.
So far, we have read:

• The Mystery of the Club Sandwich
• The Mystery of King Karfu
• The Mystery of Eatum Hall 
• Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty?

Why did the author choose to give the character the name of "Lola Trouble?" Why would fish aquarium rocks sparkle? What's up with all the empty peanut butter jars? Why were there egg shells where Humpty Dumpty fell, but no yolks? These are the details that helped us make the right inferences. There hasn't been a crafty criminal that has gotten past our sharp inferencing skills yet! Case Closed!
