BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6 WORD SEARCH at TeachingBooks.net

Did you know that you can create a word search of vocabulary words from my book BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6? After you have chosen the words (up to twenty) you can print it out for yourself or your students.

I just discovered this wonderful feature at TeachingBooks.net. Click on this link to go to the page for BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6. https://www.teachingbooks.net/qla2am5

On the left side of the page you will see an icon for the word search. Click on it and it will take you to the word search activity. You can use the suggested words or go to the back of the book and select words from the glossary. Good luck!

TeachingBooks.net is an online database that can be used by teachers, students, librarians, and families to explore children's books and young adult literature and their authors. Twenty of my books have pages at TeachingBooks. At each one you can find a blurb about the book, how to pronounce my name, author interviews and more.

Other Caroline Arnold titles you can find at TeachingBooks.net. (You can find them by using the search function at the top of the TeachingNet home page.)

Project: Book Fact Scavenger Hunt

Like many authors, I find that school and library visits are one of the best ways to promote my books. They also put me in touch with my audience and give me a chance to talk with teachers and librarians to find out how my books are being used in the classroom. The most successful visits are those where the children are familiar with my books before I come. Recently, I visited a school where the librarian had devised a clever project to encourage the children to read my books. It was a Book Fact Scavenger Hunt, created by one classroom and then played by another. To make the "clues" each child chose a book, found a fact and turned it into a question. Here are some samples:

In the book A Panda's World, how many countries outside of China have pandas in zoos?
In the book Ostriches and Other Flightless Birds, why do ostriches eat small pebbles?
In the book A Killer Whale's World, who is the leader of the pod?
In the book House Sparrows Everywhere, what do restaurants put on their roofs to discourage sparrows from roosting?
In the book Giraffe, how much does the giraffe's heart weigh?

The librarian then typed a list of all the questions, made several copies of the list in a copy machine, and cut the paper so each question was a separate slip of paper. All the questions were put into a paper bag. Children picked out one question at a time and competed to see who could answer the most questions during the library period. By the day of my author visit, the children at the school were experts in books by Caroline Arnold!
