2nd Graders Take a Step Back in Time

Hello readers!

On Tuesday, November 24, the 2nd graders will meet to discuss Tales from Maple Ridge: The Big City by Grace Gilmore. This historical fiction story takes place in the year 1892 in a small town called Maple Ridge, Illinois. 8-year old Logan Pryce and his father are taking a trip to the big city of Sherman. We'll find out if the big city is all Logan hoped it would be or if he is ready to get back home to Maple Ridge.

I look forward to discussing what you think about life in 1892 and whether you would like to live in Maple Ridge or Sherman. Please remember to bring your book to the meeting. Click here for a preview of our discussion questions. Remember to look at the Grade 2 page for more links to fun activities and other books in the Tales from Maple Ridge series.
Happy reading!
