Mystery Solved! Wrapping Up Chasing Vermeer

Fifth grade readers completed reading Chasing Vermeer last week.  In the final chapters there were groans when we halted reading, as the suspense was intense!  All the pieces of the puzzle came together.  This week students were given choices for an end of the book assignment.  Everyone chose to create a piece of artwork as an homage to the novel.  This is the first year that has ever happened!  Artists were focused on creating something meaningful from the text.  From paintings of frogs to a Vermeer sketch to a collage, the array is vast.  Readers then chose a piece of text from the novel to accompany the artwork.  All Chasing Vermeer art is currently on display in our classroom.
