The Genius Files

Our latest read aloud has been a HUGE hit! I am reading aloud "The Genius Files" by Dan Gutman. Room 221 listeners have loved the action and adventure packed into this fun book. One of the reasons I chose this book is because the characters drive across the country. We are able to follow their travels with Google Maps. We are also visiting some of the many interesting sights that they are visiting. You can follow along at home too! Go to Google Maps. Click on "Get Directions." For today, type in Burlingame, CA to Chico, CA. You can see the route our favorite characters took on the first leg of their trip! You can also visit interesting places with us. Yesterday we saw The Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorobilia. (Would you have ever guessed there was such a place????) Today we visited The National Yo-Yo Museum. Check it out!
