New Curriculum Guide

January 27, 2010

Greetings and Salutations!

I've just added a free downloadable curriculum guide for the first two books in The Tails of Frederick and Ishbu series (The Mystery of the Burmese Bandicoot and The Case of the Purloined Professor) to my website at www.judycox.net

You can find the guide by clicking the FOR TEACHERS tab, but it's not just for teachers. I hope everyone will check it out. I loved coming up with the activities in the guide--that's the teacher in me. In fact, I had to work hard just to limit it to nine pages. Maybe I'll have to do a Volume Two!

Some of the activities you'll find are:

How to make a Marshmallow Catapult
A Paper Airplane Contest
Postcards from Frederick and Ishbu
Mapping the Journey
A Recipe for Ishbu's Favorite Treat

In addition, I'd like to invite teachers to enter a drawing for free books. Details are available on the For Teachers tab under the link to the curriculum guide.

Find all this and more at www.judycox.net

Best,
Judy
