Scavenger Hunt and Skype with Chris Grabenstein by Katherine







On Wednesday the 21 of February PFAA and LE sixth graders got together for a literary scavenger hunt and a special surprise at the end. The scavenger hunt was very fun; we had to get together with assigned groups from PFAA students and LE students and we were assigned three book covers to find. When we set off for the scavenger hunt we went to classrooms of PFAA and LE teachers. When we arrived there we had to find one of our books that we were assigned to find by Mrs. Prettol, once we found the book we had to answer questions or quizzes. In Mrs. Meindl's sixth grade classroom we had to solve a chess problem - I really liked that one, in one of the other one’s Mr. Bae’s classroom we had a 5-10 question quiz about books and movies. Then after we completed our tasks to find all three books we went back to the MPR. In the MPR there were special treats like cupcakes, and when every group was back from the scavenger hunt we got to Skype the author of Mr. Lemoncello's Library, Chris Grabenstein. This event was especially fun because some of the students were allowed to go up and ask questions about him and his books. I know I definitely learned some new facts about him and writing his books and I think other students did as well. I think this event helped the students from both schools work together and get to know each other and share a fun event.
