If you are looking for a fun reading and writing activity for the summer, you must check out Follow that Peach! Inspired by the 50th anniversary of Roald Dahl's book James and the Giant Peach, kids can send a virtual peach to travel around the world or download a paper peach to send through the mail. First, kids send their peach to their chosen "peach pal". Then it is forwarded to another "peach pal". The goal is for your virtual or paper peach to complete its journey by reaching 50 people. The website has lots of fun activities to download too. An interactive map tracks the movements of launched peaches. As of today, 1,578 peaches have traveled 182,777 miles around the world.Thanks to @shannonmmiller and @kellyhines for posting on Twitter.
