Chasing Vermeer Read Aloud

Today, we finished reading our novel, Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett! We started it on our very first day of school in September. The mystery has been solved and the secret code in the book has been decoded! Today, we also took home our Case Files with all of our information about the story. 

Parents, ask your child what the "coincidence" is of us finishing the book today, on December 12, and whether they think it is a coincidence at all...





We will be writing an end-of-book response in class on Wednesday. You can prepare at home by thinking about: 
  • What you liked about the book
  • What you didn't like about the book
  • What you didn't understand
  • Questions you'd have for the author
  • Who you'd recommend the book for
  • Who your favourite character was and why
We have two puzzle pieces left to receive in December!

Chasing Vermeer is what drove all of our inquiry into What is Art? We have now wrapped up our work on this cross-curricular study. I hope everyone enjoyed this mystery novel and the work that went with it!
