Hello Media Specialist friends.  
This year in my library we are encouraging students to read by becoming crime fighters.  My theme is "It's a CRIME not to READ!"  We have set up a mystery that the students must solve.  Our first mystery is the "Cheese Caper".  We have had all of the Diary of the Wimpy Kid books stolen off the shelf.  We have also discovered that all of those books have been taken from all of the teachers rooms.  Hm mm... what a mystery.  In order to solve this crime the students must read books off of their grade level reading lists.  If they read one of those books and fill out their detective book (reading journal) we will show them a clue .    Each clue is in the rebus format there are 5 clues in all.  We have our principal and Assistant principal on the case ( Sherlock Hoopes and Dr. Nelson) .  I am also know as Detective De.  The pressure is on to solve the case.  Parents are kept in the loop by twitter feeds that go out to let them know if any other clues have been found.  I will keep you all posted.  It all started in the library the crime scene was set, let the mystery begin.
