“My Place Beside You, My Blood For Yours. I loved seeing how obvious it was to the kids that those words were worth knowing, reciting, and loving. Without prompting from me, each of the skits incorporated The Green Ember pledge. This is a perfect handicraft for your Afternoon Occupations during the cooler winter months or for quiet time. Today we will be working on a handicraft. And they all like watching each other’s skits at the end of the meeting. Welcome to Day 4 of our 5 Days of The Green Ember series. The little kids just love the playing that is involved. The big kids, who are too cool to act in the skits, seem to enjoy being narrators, directors, and coaches. We invited the book store staff up to watch these skits and that made it even more fun.
The third activity we did was to create commercials or book trailers for the book. The kids loved the variety and liked customizing their own Star Seek.
They go on an interesting adventure and meet up with their Uncle Wilfred and a rabbit named Smalls. I had planned to do regular craft sticks and red ribbon, but ultimately liked the look of mixed colors better. The Green Ember is about two rabbits named Heather and Pickett. I saw this Star Seek idea on my friend Rachel’s blog and borrowed it for our use. Despite not being good at or liking crafts, I knew that with a group of our size and age range, a craft was requisite. In fact, for this craft, my son had to do all of the prep because I cannot even glue popsicle sticks together properly. This allowed us to get beyond the surface discussion and talk about details that could let us go deeper. Each member would roll a few die and then talk about the book in a way that related to the images on their roll. Regardless, I had Story Cubes with me to make it more fun. Each group rotated through the discussion station ready to talk. The kids are excited, have strong attachments to the characters, and have things that they must discuss with their friends. Several of the families helped with the snacks by bringing green ember jello and chocolate covered raisins.ĭiscussion for a book like this more or less takes care of itself. Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events overtake them, spilling them into a cauldron of misadventures. In the last half an hour, we came together to feast and present our skits. Given the size of our group, I divided the kids into three teams and rotated them through three activities.
Because this series is unfinished and each book ends with a cliffhanger, the kids were very animated in their speculations and hopes for the ultimate story resolution. Every reader identified with one or two of the characters and felt strongly attached to them. Its first series was released on 3 July 2014 with four books and there have been no more since. Magic Animal Friends is another book series written under the Daisy Meadows pen name. Of all of the books that we have read together, this one, The Hobbit, and Jonathan Roger’s Wilderking books have inspired the most passion in our readers and vibrancy in our discussions. My Big Book of Fairies My A to Z of Fairies Additionally, there are annuals released yearly, that were discontinued in 2016. It was one of the most fun book clubs we have had to date. Heather and Picket face off for the last time with their tyrannical foes in this final installment of the Green Ember Series.
