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.
Sorry it has been a while. I was just reading a short book to get my AR points. It was called "Romona the Brave". My favorite character was Romona. She made me laugh. The book was good because it was funny. Now I am onto "The City of Ember" the first book of the trilogy. I can not wait to read about the city.
ReplyDeleteI just passed my AR points today!I read the book "My life as a Walrus Whoopie Coosion". Wally,Opera,and Wall Street had won a lotto ticket and they lost it at a zoo.Whenever he was trying to find the ticket,he always raced in a popcorn wagon down a path.Once he got the ticket,a walrus sat on top of him and it sucked up the ticket.Wally learned that life isn't all about money.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteSo, did the kids end up with the money at the end? I kind of think not if they discovered that life isn't all about money. Did you enjoy the book?
Hi Alexis,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you again. So, can you give me an example of what Ramona did to make you laugh?
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on The City of Ember. I really enjoyed the set. It was very cool to see how the books all related to each other.
I got my new book tonight it is called Wonder Struck. It is by Brian Selznick, the same one that wrote The Invention of Hugo Cabret that I showed you all yesterday. I can't wait to read it. I hope that it is as good as Hugo. I''m off to read my book!
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Phillips I am reading Goldie by Ellen Miles. This book is about a dog named Goldie that was rescued by Mr. Peterson. Mr. Peterson is a fireman. Mr. Peterson went to put out a fire at a farm in Middletown and he had to take Goldie because the family could not take care of her. Goldie is 10 weeks old. Mr. Peterson took Goldie home as a foster dog. This made Mrs. Peterson very upset, because Mr. Peterson did not talk to her about getting Goldie. Mrs. Peterson likes cats but they still fostered Goldie. When Goldie came to the Peterson's house she was very frightened. Goldie's golden coat was tangled and smudged with soot.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think is very funny so far, is that Charles has a brother named Adam. Adam is adopted. The family gave him the nickname The Bean. The Bean acts likes a dog, because the Peterson family always fosters dog. When Goldie yawned showing her pink tongue and two rows of white teeth,The Bean also yawned showing off his own pink tongue and little white teeth. I really like reading this book because I love dogs.
Hi Mrs. Phillips!Wally and his friends never ever got the ticket back.When they went back to the zoo,they didn't have any prove about the ticket.Wally went home and talked about it with his parents.They told him they knew that he just wanted the money.His parents told Wally it is all GREED!
ReplyDeleteHey Dan! It just "ate" my comment too! I'm starting over :(
ReplyDeleteI don't love Wonder Struck as much as Hugo. It is quite interesting to see two seperate stories going on at the same time though. I will be dissappointed if they don't come together somehow at the end.
Happy Birthday Tiarra!
Dear Mrs. Phillips,
ReplyDeleteI finished the book “Warriors”. I liked it because it talked a lot about lacrosse and gave some tips about the game. I am also reading a book called “Lacrosse Face-off “. I like this book because it is the story of a young boy who plays lacrosse. The sad thing is that he and his friend are fighting all the time. His brother Todd and his other friend Jeff are trying to break up their arguing. I am going to finish the book soon. If anyone in class reads the book, I hope they like it just like I like it.
Dear Mrs. Phillips,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to answer your question about the Apache helicopter. Yes, it is in the book. In fact, it said that it is the latest, state of the art army attack helicopter and can destroy enemy tanks. The newest Apache helicopter is called the AH-64D Apache Longbow.I like the Apache because Randy uses the Apache.
P.S. I think the Apache helicopter is so cool!!!
Dear Mrs. Phillips,
ReplyDeletemy favorite Hardy Boys book is What Happened at Midnight. I like it because evil smugglers were trying to kill Frank and Joe Hardy and also trying to steal a secret radio. I also like it because the setting was good. Of course it took place at midnight and that is what makes it cool and adventurous. If you ever are not reading a more grown up book I recommend this book if you like mysteries.
Kate I finished my AR points to!!! I am also reading one of those books. They are so funny!
ReplyDeleteHi Patrick! Randy flies the Longbow Apache, you're right. It is pretty cool to be enjoying reading as well as learning all sorts of new and interesting things.
