DECEMBER 1

Hello everybody,

      Welcome to December.  Now that we are in a new term you should all be reading AR books again.  Has any one finished a good book lately that you would recommend?  I'm still recommending Hugo.  I haven't seen too many people reading it yet.  I'm looking forward to hearing about what's new in your Reading world.

Love, Mrs. Phillips
P.S.  Wasn't that clever of me to figure out how to put the picture on here?

Hello Fourth graders!
I am missing hearing from you!  I'm looking forward to hearing about a character that you met in a book that you really liked or admired and why you liked them.  I really like Gladys in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.  All the kids in that story are pretty crazy, but Gladys is the craziest.  She's only in elementary school and she smokes cigars.  I highly recommend the book, the Herdman kids (Gladys is the youngest) do all sorts of unexpected things like bring a wild cat in school for "Show and Tell".  It is one of my favorite books.
