Spaceheadz Online

Spaceheadz, our current read aloud book by Jon Scieszka, joins a new wave of books that are linked closely to the Internet. All the websites mentioned in the book are real sites you can visit! The characters in the book exist as real people online.

You can visit www.mrshalleyscomets.com to see Mrs. Halley's class blog and the art that Michael K and his classmates have created. At www.antialienagency.com, you can see all the costumes and disguises that Agent Umber wears, read classified AAA files and more. Major Fluffy, the classroom hamster and leader of the alien mission to Earth, has his own blog. Jennifer uploads videos on youtube. Jennifer, Bob and TJ (the class comic artist) all have their own Flickr accounts where they post photos. At sphdz.com, you can join the 8,918 other students who have signed up to become SPHDZ and even get your own SPHDZ name!


Do you want to learn more about our read-aloud book? Here's a trailer for the book from www.simonandschuster.com! The playground featured in the book should look familiar!

    I think it's so cool how all the characters have different things online.
    I especially liked Jennifer's you tube video.
