During the past few days, scholarly SLEUTHS have been WITNESSES to some changes to our word wall. DETECTING that some valuable vocabulary might be visible, inquiring INVESTIGATORS collected CLUES and recorded EVIDENCE of their understanding. While the CASE of the missing definitions has not yet been closed, we SUSPECT it will be soon.
Since words were the SUBJECT of intense INVESTIGATION today, we sought to enLIGHTen ourselves with some synonyms, adjectives, and vivid verbs. This curious CAPER was caused by our look at yet another image from The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. As we noticed the spots of light on the top of the water, we were prompted to reexamine the other images. Light! Light! Light! Every image had a some sort of sparkle or twinkle or shimmer or glow. Of course, as we prepared to write, we thought about the literary analysis triangle and the all-important “cherry on top”… WORDS. How will LIGHT play a role in our compositions? How will our words impact our understanding of the LIGHT? Yet another MYSTERY to SOLVE.

**Stay tuned for a list.**
