Martha’s Slumber Party of the Weird
The gang is camping out. The tent is pitched, they’ve played a hundred hands of Go Fish, and they’ve even eaten all the s’mores — but they still aren’t tired. When TD suggests they tell science fiction stories, no one expects this story to end as it does: to be continued!

(E) science fiction, data, unpredictable, forsee(able), unforeseen, feline(s)
(I) gather(ing), mysterious, peculiar, vine

Return to Martha’s Slumber Party of the Weird
A shadow on the outside of the tent inspires still more stories. With humans shrinking to the size of ants, and ants growing to the size of humans, everyone has something to contribute.
Vocabulary:
(E) miniature(ize), enormous, magnify(ing), improbable, scientist
(I) ray, puny, huge, giant, mini

7/1/11 @ 2:30PM - #315:

Vocabulary: 
(E) moment(s), endless, infinite, eternal, interrupt
(I) minute, hour, day, tomorrow, never, forever

The Case of the Shattered Vase
Helen shouldn’t have watched that scary movie right before she went to sleep. Now she’s sure there’s something under her bed! Martha helps her understand that things are not always what they seem.
