El campamento de verano de un ratón de biblioteca: El peaje fantasma

Milo is a boy who is bored with life. One day he comes home to find a toll booth in his room. Having nothing better to do, he gets in his toy car and drives through - only to emerge in a world full of adventure.

Join Milo on his adventure as he travels through the tollbooth and meets with one crazy situation after another. He travels to Dictionopolis and Digitopolis and tries to return Rhyme and Reason to the land. On his adventures, Milo learns about the importance of words, numbers, sounds, and choices. 

In this class, learners will read 3 chapters of The Phantom Tollbooth on their own during the week. During class, we will discuss what we read. We will check for comprehension, as well as discussing the social and personal applications of the things that Milo learns. We will also learn about one of the academic topics that Milo learns about that week. We will do this using a variety of activities such as games, experiments, and hands-on activities.
