 * My teacher is a ausome person. He does surviver and we do a lot of fun things. What makes him interesting is that he does survivor almost exactly the way they do it on TV. Mr. M also has brown hair and has two kids. he watches survivor almost every time its on. he loves to go geo-cashing. he wants us to start to. he is very nice and ,sometimes, gives a lot of homework. if you do everything in class then you don't have any homework.

Mr.M plays survivor and has very high expectations of his students. We do lots of work in class and whatever we don't get done. The a bit about the book mystery gives you an idia of what the carictors are doing when they say they saw leters every where and they saw the legs of the stove as letters. ~*live4horses*~

Ms. Hussey's class visits the Chicago Art Museum. What museum or place would you like to visit and spend classdays at? How does being in a different place enable kids to get motivated to learn?
 * __Day 2: Response Questions:__

I wold like to spend the day at a petting zoo fore small animals, i want to go to a petting zoo because it would be fun to learn about the little animals there and you would get to learn about animals that you never knew about. Being in a difrent place enables** **you to get a feal of difrent inveryments, all so being in a difrent place lets you go some where new, not the classroom that you sit in all day. ~*live4horses*~**

__**Day 3 Response Questions**__ over Chapters 5-10 Without using real names, describe a time when you made friends or worked with a person who you wouldn't have chosen. Caulder and Petra are very different. How do they compliment (work well together) in ways similar to what I hope for kids in our class to do? List five clues that they have put together about the mystery.

 * one time i had to work with someone from my class in the bigging of the year. i had know clue who they were. it was kind of hard to work because they kept on asking about me. it was harder when they didn't do anything..

In third grade I was partnered with a new kid who really did'nt like me, because at the beginning of the year I was walking and someone pushed me into her backpack so i knocked out a lot of her books and accidently stepped on them. I learned she actually wanted to be friends I just was avoiding her because i thought she hated me. ~*live4horses*~

__**Day 4 Response Questions**__ over Chapters 11-15 Something disappears, what? How might this be connected to the title of this book? Is it a well thought out title, or just too simple? Ms. Hussey comes to school injured the next day, are you suspicious of her "Excuse" or do you believe her? Finally a letter is published in the newspaper, is this a confession or challenge to the readers? How would you respond to it?

The Lady writing is a painting and it disappered in the book. I think that the title is way to obvious but I like that the other waited untell the twelth chapter to give out the info about the name Vermeer. Ms. Hussey gave the excuse of triping in the dark at her house. Giving the settup of the book i would not beleve her. I beleve that the letter was not a confesion because there would probbly be a signiture. I would go on to her website and add what i thought of the difrenses. I would probly ask her why she stole the painting to get peoples atention but i also think that it is a good example of how quickly roomers can spred and it shows how much people want the painting back. ~*live4horses*~

what disappears?! the painting of the lady. i agree with live4horses, that she says it is too.... well it gives the book away. because it tells what happens. when i read the title i didn't know what it ment. but now i read some of the book i know what it means! 8-)(-8 when the people find out it was stolen then EVERYBODY wanted it back!**
 * rootbeer says..........

The novel ends with a return of the painting. What discoveries did Caulder & Petra make about themselves during the decisions they faced? Did the novel appeal to you more since it was set in modern times instead of a historical time period? What was the author's purpose for writing Chasing Vermier? How much did you enjoy the novel? What was your favorite part?
 * __Day 5 - 6 questions to answer__

Yes the novel did seem more since because it was based on what could happen now. The others purpose I think is to show you what just two kids can do. The novel was not something that i would normally read and I could not really get into it. My favorite part was when they start to suspect Mrs** **Hussey. that was my favorite part because they started to think of what if's. ~*live4horses*~ :- )**
 * rootbeer says:** **it made much more since to me when i read the rest. i also notised that it was baced on modern things. im not a novel person so i kind of got bord reading it, but i still did. my favorite part was in the beginning when they tok the fieldtrip to the art place. that sounded so fun!! i was kinda mad that the person did steal the painting at the art place. >:-(**
