Scholastic REAL | Grade 6 Family Guide

Family Reading Fun Enjoy Me, Frida, and the Secret of the Peacock Ring together, then get crafty, creative, and mysterious with the story-inspired activities below. Make a Memory Box Paloma paints and decorates a cardboard box and fills it with special memories like photographs, small trinkets, and notes. Try making a memory box of your own. Decorate the outside, then add pictures, stories, and keepsakes that are important to your family. Traditional Dish Paloma enjoys chicken mole, a traditional dish that’s prepared with chilis, spices, and dark chocolate. Is there a dish that’s a tradition in your family? Try capturing all the ingredients and steps on paper together to create your official family recipe. Secret Mailbox Paloma uses the planter at the front of her house as a secret mailbox where she sends and receives notes from Gael. Pick a good hiding place in your home. Take turns leaving and discovering secret messages, notes, and doodles from your family members. Wearable Design Artist Frida Kahlo sketched her idea for a peacock ring and collected the stones and metal to make it. Try designing some wearable stuff of your own—a bookbag, some sneakers, or maybe a pair of headphones. Draw pictures. Add arrows and notes to explain your design and the materials you’d use to make it.
