Things to Remember

Hi boys and girls,

PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO PUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE PHONE NUMBERS OR LAST NAMES ON YOUR BLOG POSTS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE AND PROTECTED WHILE USING THE BLOG.

You all have so much to be proud of, thanks for all your contributions to the blog. I hope that you are finding new and exciting books to read this summer. Remember to share your thoughts about the books that you are reading. When getting ready to write your posts ask yourself:

If I were the main character what would I do in that situation? How would I handle the problem?
What is the author's purpose? Do I agree or disagree with the authors message? Why?
If I were writing the book how might I change the setting or ending? Why? How would it change the story?

For example, in the book How Baseball Saved Us really enjoyed the author's message about community and how finding a common goal or interest, such as baseball, can help people build trust and overcome difficult situations.

Keep reading!

Keep up the great work!

Hi boys and girls! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer! I am so proud of all your efforts and how much great reading you are doing. You are reading some of my favorite books, Nancy Drew, Judy Blume - I enjoyed reading all of them! I always enjoyed Judy Blume books because I felt like the characters in her books were going through some of the things I was going through- trouble in school, a fight with a brother or sister, making a tough decison. Is that true for you? I am reading mysteries this summer. I love to keep track of the clues using post its or a time line. I like to challenge my self to keep up with the detective! As you write your posts remember to tell how you feel about the books you are reading, what it reminds you of, how you connect to the book or one of the characters- make those text to self, text to text or text to world connections. Happy reading!! You guys are doing great!!!

Water Song

Hey guys~ It's Lauren. I have just finished, as the title says, Water Song by Suzanne Weyne. It is a retelling of the novel Frog Prince. The novel takes place during the World War I (1914-1918) and talks of how an American soldier who managed to survive the gas attack (trench warfare) and comes across a rich, young lady in a well of the lady's estate. The two are soon after taken as "prisoners" of the enemy army, the Germans, and are hostages in the lady's home. The novel goes on about how the two struggle to survive in a world of warfare.

This novel is more suited for girls, though it is a great book for everyone.

~Lauren --vivo rido amo--

Have a great summer and enjoy reading~!!

Clementine by Marla Frazee

This book is so weird.  Clementine, as a girl cut her hair like a boy herself!  Her birthday party was a mess of little kids jumping on the sofa.  Anyone who reads this book will laugh so much that they'll just break their funny bone!   

Felita

This book is so emotional.  Felita moves to a new block but no one seems to like her.  She tells her grandma about all her sorrows and happiness.  But very soon her grandma is not in the world. Felita promises her grandma to give her a bouquet of flowers; like grandma said to.

Hey guys i just finished Ms. Piggle Wiggle, I found out that Ms. Piggle was not a witch after all. She did not have any powers she just wanted to help the kids. So now the kids like Ms. Piggle Wiggle.

Mickey and Me

When I read this book, I was shocked. The main character, Joe, can travel through time with old baseball cards. I wonder how come we cannot do that? This is a very wonderful book to read. It has lots of action, and I could not stop reading until the end of the book.

Ms. Piggle Wiggles Magic

This book is very strange because when the kids need help with their homework, Ms. Piggle Wiggle just gives them a pencil and a paper. The essay is already finished for the kids. They assume that she is a witch. So they want to catch her in the act. Stay tune for more about Ms. Piggle Wiggles Magic.

Mickey and Me

In this book, I felt very surprised.
