This is a clip from the movie we will be watching when we finish our book. Here we actually get to see what Despereaux looks like. For homework, write a summary of what is happening in this picture. Use pages 62-74 for help.

 January 14, 2009   We are learning so much about Despereaux's journey. Tonight I would like to hear what you all think will happen after chapter three! Keep up the good work!!!

Today we read the first chapter of Despereaux in class and learned a lot about where the story takes place (or as we call it, the "//setting//"). For homework tonight, you all will be reading up to **page 37**.

Keep these questions in mind while you are reading. We will discuss them tomorrow during our literacy circle:
 * 1) Who does Despereaux go to visit everyday?
 * 2) What are the three things that Despereaux is in love with?
 * 3) Who is Mig and what does she wish to be?
