The Book Bunny
Every
library should have a mascot, and the Lassiter Library is proud to introduce
Mr. B. Baker our new book bunny.
Mr. B.
Baker got his unusual name from the very famous author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
whose most famous character Sherlock Holmes lives at
221 B. Baker
Street in London.
If you have
not yet read any classic mysteries from Doyle, you can check out some of his best works
here:
Although,
Doyle wrote his first novel in as early as 1879 he did not publish the first
Sherlock Holmes Mystery until 1886. Doyle's extensive education in
medicine makes the character of Sherlock Holmes still relevant today and his
works are still widely reproduced in plays, movies and on television.
Actors
such as Robert Downey Junior, Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Miller have even portrayed Sherlock.
Assignment
Part
1: Find out who Sherlock’s crime solving
bestie is and leave a comment below!
Part
2: Find out the origin of the quote, “The
game is afoot.” Provide at least 2
reliable sources for your information.
Part
3: In a paragraph, explain why you believe Sherlock Holmes is still an amazing
character after 130 years. Back up your
argument with valid resources and a strong argument.

Mrs. Thomas Flat
Stanley Project
What is the Flat Stanley Project?
The basic principle of The Flat Stanley Project
is to connect students with communities across the world by sending out "flat" visitors, through the mail.
Students
can talk about, track and write about their flat character's journey and adventure! Flat Stanley is an enriching and engaging
activity.
The sender and the recipient already have a
mutual friend, Flat Stanley. Writing and learning becomes easier, flows
naturally, and tends to be more creative. Flat Stanley is an “authentic”
literacy project, in that students are inspired to write of their own passion
and excitement about the project, and given the freedom to write about many
things through the rubric of the Flat Stanley character.
Where has Stanley Visited?
Assignment: You will have an
opportunity to discover where Flat Stanley has visited across the United States
and even across the globe as we work on our project! Stanley has been a very busy traveler and he
has a lot to teach us…
Part 2: Create an account on Pinterest to explore the
states and countries Flat Stanley has visited.
Part 3: Mrs. Thomas will assign you a state and country to explore.
Part 4: Complete your handout on your state and
country by using the Lassiter Library Pinterest links provided. Be as detailed as possible, because you will
be sharing your discoveries with the class!
