Charles Wallace and Mrs Whatsit

What an intriguing beginning to our new adventure, A Wrinkle In Time.
This week we discussed the characters in our story.  A lot of us could relate to Meg Murry the way she thinks she is not smart, even though she is a genius.   She believes that she is plain-looking when it is so obvious to others just how attractive she is.

We defined what INTUITION is, and challenged ourselves to trust our gut more often.

We sipped on Charles Wallace's hot chocolate while we discussed the character, Mrs. Whatsit.
(ask your student what the difference is between hot cocoa and hot chocolate)

Jael was our first volunteer to be transformed into the character, Mrs. Whatsit.  We dressed her in a shawl, and eight scarves. Then topped the tramp with a man's wool fedora!  What fun it was to re-create the scene when Mrs. Whatsit showed up to Meg's house that dark and stormy night.  Other characters joined into the scene, and the scarves and hat were recycled onto a new Mrs. Whatsit, and the scene was acted out over and again because it is such fun to pretend.

 This week, please read chapters five through eight.
We will continue our discussion of Meg and Mrs. Whatsit and TESSERACT travel.
