hi i'm Marissa and i'm from Eagan, MN. I think that Meg is sick because she got pulled away from IT as it was taking control of her brain.

Hi I'm Savanna from Rosemount, MN and I think the reason Meg is sick is beause they went through the black thing after escaping from IT's control.

We think Meg is protective because she got in a fight when classmates were saying bad things about her family and her dad.  She is also a caring person because she cries about missing her dad.

Mrs. Who clues us in that something  is going to happen because she says "Now go home, loves.  The time is not yet ripe.  Don't worry, we won't go without you" (p. 35).

Calvin's questions let the reader know that Meg's dad has been gone for a while, with little to no communication from him.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today's Wonder of the Day was inspired by kyra from AL. kyra Wonders, " Is time travel possible? " Thanks for WONDERing with us, kyra!

From books like A Wrinkle in Time and Time and Again to movies like The Time Machine and Back to the Future, children and adults alike have been fascinated by the of time travel for hundreds of years. But is it even ? If it were, where - or when? - would you go?

The of time travel sounds simple: you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between different points in space. You could jump forward into the future, or you could jump back to sometime in the past.

Exactly how would this be done? Most works that feature time travel accomplish it with the help of a special usually called a time machine. The time machine features whatever technology has been developed to people successfully to other points in time.

But is time travel merely the stuff of science ? Or could it really happen? Some scientists believe that parts of Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity might allow for the possibility of time travel.

These theories are complex and very hard to understand. They involve astronomical things like black holes and wormholes. Traveling faster than the speed of light might also be required!

To date, there are only theories and ideas...and hopes and dreams. Modern technology , as great and advanced as it is, has not yet begun to approach the level of sophistication that would allow humans to defy the laws of and travel through time.

It doesn't hurt, though, to think about what the ability to time travel might mean. Would you go forward to the future or back to the past? Would you rather see what things are going to be like or how things were long ago?

It can also be fun to think about what problems might be presented by time travel. Some scientists and philosophers are quick to point out that traveling backwards in time to the past creates the potential for paradoxes.

A is a situation which appears absurd or self-contradictory. For example, let's say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met. Some people believe your very presence in the past could alter events.

What if your presence in the past did alter events? What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple in time that led to them not meeting? If they never met, you were never born. If you were never born, how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused?

If that doesn't twist your brain in knots, we're not sure what will! As confusing as it sounds, we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel works out these paradoxes in advance!

You might remember me mentioning that I am reading aloud A Wrinkle in Time (well, actually Madeline L'Engle is, through the magic of audio books...) and that we participated in the 50 Years, 50 Days, 50 Blogs blog tour for the 50th anniversary of the publication of the book.

Inspired by Monica Edinger's blog posts about annotating Charlotte's Web with her fourth graders, and fueled with a "worst they can do is say no" attitude, I asked the promoter of the blog tour if it would be possible to get a class set of A Wrinkle in Time so that my class could try annotating the book as we listened to it.

She (and Macmillan) said yes. When the books came, I had my copy from my 6th grade Scholastic book order on hand. I had already told them that A Wrinkle in Time had been a landmark book for me as a reader. Now they looked at my scuffed copy as they held their shiny new copies. I told them that I had kept that book for almost 40 years, and that they, too, might keep the book in their hands for 40 or more years. Someday when they were all grown up, they might tell their children (or even their students) about the difference that book had made in their lives. Ten year-olds can't usually imagine 40 years into the future, but I think a few of them had a glimmer of it for just a second there.

What kinds of things have we been noticing as we annotate and discuss the book?

Words. Rich, rich vocabulary. And often words that relate to our word study focus, coming to life right there in the book!

Connections. A geranium blooming on the windowsill of mother's lab -- just like the one in our classroom!

Places in the story where Madeline L'Engle changed the mood of the story, or made us ask questions, or where we wrote, "Uh oh..."

Symbolism -- dark is evil, light is good; evil is cold, good is warm.

Who else has fought against the "shadow" on our planet? Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, Abe Lincoln, all the people who stop wars...

Madeline L'Engle's use of similes, metaphors and idioms.

The importance of freedom and individualism, family and friendship, love and trust.

Yesterday we watched the Wonderopolis episode on time travel. It was fun to wonder if time travel will be possible in their lifetimes, or if they might someday be part of a team of scientists who bring us closer to that reality.
We're not quite finished with the book. We have about 20 pages left, and I think I'm going to ask them to finish the book and annotate the last few chapters on their own over spring break. Then, when we come back together week after next, we can have the kind of discussion that Monica's classes have.

We're not quite finished with the book...I'm thinking about that phrase...and I'm realizing that my students will NEVER be quite finished with this book. Some of them, anyway. This will be a book that keeps sounding and resounding in their lives as they grow up with it, grow into it, grow away from it, and hopefully come back to it. This is a book that has potential to leave a never-ending ripple in their thinking and in their reading lives. It doesn't seem like enough to simply say Thank You to Macmillan for providing these books for my class. What I'm really thanking them for is helping me to change the lives of 24 children.

Instructional Ideas for Immediate Implementation

What Students Are Reading

Kristie Hofelich Ennis, NBCT

In an effort to systematically study relevant research and stay connected to the teachers I greatly respect and with whom I have worked for years to successfully implement independent reading, this newsletter came about. It will offer research and practical ideas for quick implementation and may prompt further discussion or study with your colleagues. I hope you'll find it useful and thought-provoking; I also hope you will stay in touch if you implement any of the ideas with your students. They are, after all, why I do what I do!

I will always remember meeting Meg Murry. Even though I'd lived in Tennessee for a few years by then, I still felt like an outsider. My whole family felt like outsiders. My parents' midwestern accents sounded like record scratches breaking the fluid melody of southern drawl. My voice had adjusted quickly. By then I sounded like I was born and raised a mile from Sinking Creek. My mother saved an audio tape of me playing Flash Gordon with my neighbor. I listen to it sometimes just to hear the lovely lilt of my voice, thick with the sounds of the south.

But sounding the same didn't mean I fit in. I felt different. I was different, and it had little to do with my family being Yankees as the adults would say. My brain worked differently than most. I would consume school lessons quickly and then wander in a dense world of my own imagination where dragons roamed and witches cast their spells. I had a rigid and stubborn sense of justice. Once I raised my hand to defend a friendless boy in my class. I knew as I lifted my arm that I was breaking a code, but the alternative was to break a code carved in my heart.

I loved to read and devoured books far beyond the class reading level. The school offered to skip me ahead a grade, but my mother refused. Instead, they placed me in a reading group alone. It was then that my teacher handed me A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle.

In those pages, I met Meg Murry.

Meg is smart and quirky and sometimes insecure. She thinks deep thoughts. She struggles, and she doesn't understand everything, but she wants to. She's keenly aware of being different.

There's a glimmer of her brother in Meg. Charles Wallace: a boy who speaks very little and almost only to Meg and others close to him, who is brilliant but ridiculed as stupid, who seems not to hear or care, who understands things others can't even see.

The Murrys are a family of unique and amazing minds capable of tremendous advances in science and communion with incredible beings from outside our general understanding of time and space.

I devoured A Wrinkle In Time and its sequels. I felt like the books were written for me. Sometimes I thought that maybe I was Meg Murry. When I put down the book, I'd awake in its pages, travelling across the universe by tesseract with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which.

The fact alone that there was a science fantasy adventure novel that featured a girl as one of the main characters was transformative for me. But Meg Murry-Meg with her intelligence, insecurities, and deep thoughts-she meant everything. Because for the first time in my life, I had found myself in the pages of a book.

Many years later, Meg was with me when I wrote Bounders, the story of the first class of cadets at the EarthBound Academy for quantum space travel, a group of neurodiverse kids who always felt different but never suspected they were the key to saving Earth. I wrote Bounders for my oldest son who had just fallen in love with books. I hoped he might find himself in its pages, just like how I met Meg.

Bounders was published almost a year ago. Over the last several months, I've received lots of letters and emails from young readers. Some of them have told me how much they identify with one of my characters. These are my happiest and proudest moments as an author.

There are few things as special as a child finding herself within the pages of a book. As authors, as teachers, as parents, as people, we should all work to help children make that connection and experience that communion.

I know that amazing feeling of finding myself in a book. I remember. I will always remember meeting Meg Murry.

Monica Tesler is the author of the Bounders series, a five book science fiction adventure series from Simon & Schuster. The second title in the series, The Tundra Trials, released on December 13, 2016. The first book in the series was released in paperback with the episodic title Earth Force Rising on the same date. Monica lives outside of Boston with her husband and their two boys.

What do you find interesting about the planet of Camazotz?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm Jaleia from Frankfort, KY at Second Street School. Something I found interesting about Camazots is that it was like everything was on some type of schedule or routine. Some people completely ignored the fact that Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace were even there. Also, everyone did the same thing. Furthermore, at the same rhythm.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
It's been a few years since I last read this. I really enjoyed rereading the first few chapters today! My favorite part of these chapters is getting to know Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin. I love how Charles Wallace describes Meg to be "not really one thing or the other." I've always thought of her as the bridge, with one foot firmly planted in the ordinary world and one foot in the "new" and "different" space that Charles Wallace inhabits. I also love the scene with Meg and Calvin. Not only does he elicit some necessary backstory about her father with his questions, but also he demonstrates that he can be curious and caring at the same time. Meg goes from being defensive to breaking down in tears. Now time for their adventure!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Meg's dialogue tells us a lot about her personality. During school, on page 25, she says to Mr. Jenkins, "When she [her mother] tells me that my father isn't coming home, I'll believe it. As long as she says Father is coming home, then I'll believe that." I think this shows that Meg is stubborn, yet easily persuaded in some ways. She refuses to let Mr. Jenkins question Meg's beliefs, yet is very easily swayed by her mother's words, possibly by the trust and bond between them, and/or Meg's lost feelings when she's unable to understand or know something. There was also a small snippet on the same page that I found a little contradictory; ""I do face facts," Meg said. "They're a lot easier to face than people, I can tell you."" yet a later passage says, "Mr. Jenkins sighed. "Do you enjoy being the most belligerent, uncooperative child in school?" Meg ignored this." It seems that she doesn't directly face as many facts as she says, which I found funny when I read it.
She's also very emotional, like on, again, page 25, ""Leave my father out of it!" Meg shouted."
Meg is very confident in her words and will be fierce where she needs to. I find her a very interesting character, and am excited to see how she changes over the rest of the book!

# data[].attributes.body
Meg is different from others. She is smart though she does not think she is. She does not think she is pretty either, and she really misses her dad. Mrs. Who was letting on that soon there would be an event in their future, and that confused Meg and Calvin. Calvin's questions are important because they help the reader better understand why her dad is gone. Though I don't know how Fortinbras takes place in the story quite yet, I know he will play a big role as the story goes on. I also find Charles Wallace very interesting, considering that he is so young and however I'm finding that he is my favorite character. I used to think that this book may not be something that I would enjoy to read, but now I truly love it! So thank you Liv for starting the global book club because without I never would have given this book a chance.

When I first read this book, I thought that obviously as a result of her father's mysterious disappearance, her actions make her stand out as being an aggressive and angry character. However after reading the book several times, I now interpret her actions at the beginning as showing her bravery. I feel like people in our society hide their emotions and don't let their hurt show for fear of looking weak or vulnerable. In this way, Meg is brave by showing her true self, without holding anything back. She has every reason to be angry, upset, heartbroken, confused, etc., and she shouldn't feel pressured to hold that in! Happy reading!

Meg’s actions show us that she’s curious, but she also acts out because she doesn’t believe in herself. She is very protective of her family and misses her dad a lot. Mrs. Who lets us know something is about to happen because she knows about the tesseract and she acts like she’s preparing for something. She’s very mysterious and knows more than she’s letting on. Calvin’s questions are important because they let us know what happened to Meg’s dad without just telling us. We’re wondering right now how Charles Wallace knows so much, what a tesseract is, and what happened to her dad. What do you think?

Meg's actions show that she might be emotional because of her father who left. She is acting up in school because of lack of attention at home. Although, she is great at math, her attention span is poor. Since both Mrs. Who and Mrs. Whatsit are being secretive and suspicious we are left to wonder. As Calvin asks questions about Meg's father, she begins to wonder what she actually knows about him. We find it interesting that Calvin knows so much about Meg's father, and his disappearance.

Megs actions tell us a lot of things. One thing that they tell us is that Meg has a short temper and that especially when people bring up her father and spread rumors about him. Megs actions also show that she is short tempered because when Charles Wallace said that she wasn't like them to Calvin Meg got defensive.

# data[].attributes.body
Megs actions tell us a lot about her. One action that tell us a lot about her is that she picked a fight with this kid who was bullying Charles Wallace. This tells us that she is very aggressive and is cares alot about her brother. Another thing that meg has done that tells us alot about her is that she was being very defensive when Calvin was trying to ask her questions about her dad. Meg got very mad at him and it seemed that her father was a very soft spot in her heart.

I honestly love Mrs. Who's quotes! They are so inspiring, and I really like the one that she said, Nothing is hopeless we must hope for everything, I think that is awesome. I have no idea what the dark thing is but I think it might symbolize the bad people in the world, or just the bad things in general. I think the new planet they have entered is really strange, but really cool at the same time. Everyone does everything at the same time, but that one little boy who dropped the ball was, or seemed to be, a bit different from the others, as in he wasn't doing the right thing at the right time. AND NOW A MESSAGE FOR LIV!!! Your speech at Dressel was so sweet and amazing! Thank you for being so inspiring and taking your time to be there!!!

Meg’s actions reveal how she’s hurting, about the loss of her dad, about her identity crisis, about growing up and feeling lost. Being different than every one else. She doesn't believe in herself. The way she acts around in school and at home, are totally different! She also is very loyal to her brother Charles. When people are saying mean stuff about him, she sticks up for him, and even will beat up boys for him.

Jaleia brought up something in our class today that made me think a whole new thought about the food that kind of blew my mind. What if the synthetic food was L'Engle's criticism of the new kinds of foods (fast food, TV dinners, etc..) being introduced into society?????????? They aren't wholesome or nutritious.

I really like the ‘unsettlingly perfect’ vibe to it. It’s like everyone’s a machine, although instead of being brainwashed, the citizens of this planet are just strictly following a manual. It reminds me of other books where peoples’ lives are dictated by a schedule, like the City of Ember (though they don’t act like robots). I like this theme of “control” in dystopian novels because they give way to a good story. One person could be fed up with the system, or they, like the boy who kept dropping the rubber ball, could mess up in their duties as a citizen and get into bigger conflict because of it. I’m excited to see what sort of mayhem the trio get into when they enter the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Center!

We're thinking that maybe the boy who dropped the ball is from another planet and got trapped on Camazotz since he doesn't seem to fit in.  Or maybe he found out what happens on Camazotz and is only pretending to act that way to avoid danger?

We're also wondering if the Black Thing took over Camazotz if it took over everyone's mind that was already living?  Maybe the boy who dropped the ball wasn't born yet?

Why do they do everything simultaneously? Everything in this place seems to remind us of a clock...the rhythm of everything, seems like the tick tock of a clock.

(Toby Malaysia) I think that the "Dark Thing" is just the gap between time, or the vacum of space, because there is not feeling, no sound, and no light. If it was the vacum of space, there is no air so you can't speak, and there is no light because you are in the middle of no where, there is no feeling because the gravtaional force is not acting on them. If it was the gap between time, the time is stopped, so the words can't travel, the heart has stopped beating, and light stopped traveling, making everything black, no force is traveling so there is no feel, and I support the gap in time the most.
The planet of Camazotz makes me feel that I'm in modere planet, as well because, there is no people walking, making the planet icy cold. I think that Ms.Who quotes is mysteries, because I can't understand what is she even saying.

The man with the red eyes claims to be Megs friend, but I doubt that’s true because he lured Charles Wallace into IT. Meg knows that Charles Wallace was under the spell of IT because of how he acted really strange, mean, and emotionless. Also she could see it in his eyes, the way they turned the light blue with small pupils. I think it’s really cool that they found Meg and Charles Wallace’s dad. Meg was so happy, but I was kind of sad because Charles Wallace didn’t care about meeting his dad because he was under the spell of IT.

I think that as villainous as he might seem, the Man with the Red Eyes might not have intentions as bad as Meg thinks. In basic stories such as fairy tales like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, characters are black and white; it's good vs. evil, but I think that this story is going to have shades of grey in between. The Man might not be as bad as we think. So far, anything he's done had a wrong 'tone' to it, like taking over Charles' mind and heart, and feeding the kids fake food that, without the illusion that is its taste, would taste like sand. But these actions have had good outcomes to it, like leading Meg to her father, and preventing Meg from interfering with the Man with the Red Eyes taking over Charles (the first time, she practically gave Charles a concussion, and I wouldn't want her to injure him any more). These cause-and-effect actions might show that the Man is neutral, rather than good or evil. Whatever his true intentions are, we'll never know if we don't keep reading!

I felt that these three chapters did a wonderful job on introducing all the main characters! We got to see Mrs. whatsit in chapter one, Mrs. Who in chapter two, and Calvin was in chapter 2 and three. We also got to see a little but of Mrs. which in chapter three! So far I seem to like all of the characters in this book! Meg is protective and feirce. Charles wallace seems to be a bit strange but in a good way. Calvin seems a little optimistic. And Mrs.which seems strange, along with Mrs. who, who quotes in her way of speech. But i feel like these traits all come together in a really good way!

I believe that med's actions tell us that she is stubborn and wants things her way. I feel as though she doesn't really like herself as a person. In the book meg says that she doesn't like the way she looks. Meg is a trouble maker and doesn't try very hard in school. These chapters really helped me understand the characters a little bit more.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this book and the global book club! I think Meg felt sick after escaping IT because of the black thing and how evil it was. I would trust the aliens because they seemed nice enough, and their food tasted good, also they wanted to help find Charles Wallace so that's a good sign! I think the last chapter was called the foolish and the weak because IT was weak and foolish in love, and that was like a major thing not to have!

1.  The Man with Red Eyes is pretty creepy and evil.  We have a hard time trusting him because we think he's being controlled by IT.
2.  Charles Wallace's eyes change, his thoughts and actions change too!  He calls Meg "dear sister" and "Margaret."  That's something he never would have called her.
3. Meg knows like and equal aren't the same. Equal means everyone has the same rights, but like means they're all the same individuals. They don't have any personal qualities.

I find that the planet of Camazotz is very interesting. This is because everybody on Camazotz acts the same way in rhythm. All of the mothers look alike and have the same clothes and hairstyle. The kids all do the same thing. When the ball hits the ground so does the jumprope. The houses are all alike as well. They are all the same color and they all have the same sized yard with the same amount of flowers in there walkway.

I think that Camazotz is a weird place because everybody there does the same thing. All of the mothers wear the same thing and have the same hairstyle.

When one kids bounces a ball the other kid jumps rope at the same exact time. Lastly, another thing that is strange is taht all of the house look the same and are painted the same color.

2. We would trust them because you wouldn't have any other choice.
3. Mrs. Who's quote talked about the foolish and the weak. IT was foolish and Meg was weak, but weakness can overcome foolishness.
