Mrs. Conlon�s  class read Mouse Mess by Linnea Riley. In the story the mouse gets up when everyone else goes to bed and makes a mess in the kitchen. Each student took home a digital camera to take a picture of something in their kitchen that they thought the mouse would make a mess eating. Pictures were inserted into Kid Pix and students drew a mouse getting into the food. Students dictated a sentence to go along with their picture.
