It's Week Three of our Summer Reading Blog Challenge. How is your reading going?
Take a peek at what our bloggers have been reading this week.
I am reading Junie B. Jones: Shipwrecked and I am on page 24. I like reading Junie's journal at the beginning of each chapter. A lady named Mrs. Weller came to the class to talk about germs. She wrote the word virus on the board. The class is worried about Roger because he didn't come back from the nurse.

Jurassic World: Dinosaur Field Guide
by Thomas Holtz and Michael Brett-Surman |
I'm reading Jurassic World. It's about dinosaurs from the movie. It gives you information about the dinosaurs like how they hunted and how big they were.
~Andrew M. Grade 3
I am reading Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone. Harry finds out that he is a wizard. He gets accepted at Hogwarts. On the train to Hogwarts, he makes a new friend named Ron.
~Jeramiah W. Grade 4
I am reading a book called How to Speak Dolphin. It is about a boy who has autism and loves dolphins. His mom died, and he lives with his older sister and stepdad. I haven't finished the book yet, but I think the reason he loves dolphins is because his mom used to read him a book about dolphins.

Kelsea H Grade 5
DeleteGabi that seems like a very good book. I have one question, is this book part of a series or just a single book by itself?
Avery B.grade 2 I am reading a book called The Notebook of Doom Rise of the Balloon Goons. It's about a boy who moved and already thinks his new town is strange. One time he and his dad went out for breakfast and the boy saw a balloon goon. When they were finished eating breakfast they walked outside and the boy turned and looked at the spot where the balloon goon was but the balloon goon wasn't there anymore. It's a very creepy book.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Strayer- where did the balloon goon go? I will have to read this book to see if the goons were mean or nice!
DeleteCaly H. Grade 2
DeleteDoes this book scare you?
I read the book HOW TO CHEAT A DRAGON'S CURSE by Cressida Cowell. It was about a boy named Hiccup and he set out on a quest to find a frozen potato. All the Viking tribes called it the vegetable that no one dares to name. Hiccup's friend Camicazi went on the quest also. The potato was the cure for Vorpentitis, which is a disease that you get a few months after you are stung by a venomous vorpent. That is a dragon that stings you. I liked this book because it is about dragons and Vikings and they work together and don't fight each other. I like books that are adventures and have quests. Natalie Z grade 2
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book. Keep reading!
Delete~Mrs. Dragovich
Mrs. Strayer- Kelsey's H. You are doing a great job encouraging others to read, especially the younger students!
DeleteMrs. Strayer- Wow Natalie that sounds like quite an adventure. Why wouldn't anyone name the potatoes?
DeleteNo one would name the potatoes because it's bad luck. There are only 1 potato in the Inner Isles where they live.
DeleteKelsea H Grade 5
ReplyDeleteI have another update in Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament. After the first task of the tournament they have something called a Yule Ball and everyone is invited. It is to celebrate the holidays and the Triwizard Tournament. I like the book so far because it is very entertaining and has a lot of mystery as well as action.
Mrs. Strayer- Thanks for the update! Keep us posted.

Gavin T Grade 2
ReplyDeleteI read Magic Tree House #5 Night of the Ninjas. Jack and Annie find a mouse and a note from Morgan le Fay in the tree house telling them that she is under a magic spell and needs their help. They traveled to Japan and met some ninjas who helped them by showing them the Ninja Way - Use Nature, Be Nature, Follow Nature. Jack and Annie were able to use the ninja way in some cool ways to avoid being captured by the Samurai. They got back home safely with the mouse. I think that the mouse may actually be Morgan le Fay under a spell.
Jacob B. grade 3
DeleteI have read that book already.Do you remember when they fall into the mud? Night of the ninjas is one of my favorite MTH books.I recemend you read #1 Dinosaurs before dark and #2 The night at dawn.I have also read these MTH books.
Gavin T Grade 2
ReplyDeleteI read Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Ninjas and Samurai. I learned more about Ninjas and Samurai. The Samurai wore armor made of small iron pieces sewn together with cords so that they would be able to move well and be protected. They used special swords that were made by hand. They hammered thousands of layers of steel together. The inside layer was soft so it would not snap and the outside was hard so it would be sharp. The Ninjas often dressed up as farmers and other common people and hid things like poison darts in their hollow walking sticks. They were really good at getting around without people seeing them or hearing them. I really like reading the fact trackers after I read the stories about Jack and Annie because I learn a lot more facts about the things that were in the story.
Wow, Gavin! You have been busy reading this week! Hope you are enjoying The Magic Tree House books! ~Mrs. Arentz
DeleteGavin this book sounds great, you should read Captain Underpants books too. Ian B.

DeleteI've read every book by Judy Blume but that one. I think I would like it. If you like that book, you would probably like a lot of other Judy Blume books.
Mrs. Strayer- Does she ever learn to like Terrytown? Why or why doesn't Sheila change her mind? Let us know Chloe.
DeleteYes. Because it isn't so bad after all.
DeleteLauren P Grade 5
ReplyDeleteI am reading a Judy Blume book named double fudge. So far it is about fudge being abscessed with money. Fudge makes his own fake money and tells people that it is called fudge bucks. He also tells people that he it is real money.
Lucas W. Grade 3
ReplyDeleteI am reading Inspector Gadget. Mayor Wilson and Police Chief Quimby are watching the surgery of a Cyborg. At the same time, across town, Mr. Claw is inspecting the foot and helmet that was made for him by Sikes. This was chapter 5.
Ian B Grade 2 This week I read Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies From Outer Space. The best part of this book is the note in Chapter 15, it says Warning: The following chapter contains inappropriate scenes that don't belong in a children's book. If you are offended by senselessness put the book down, put your arms up and run screaming to the nearest shoe store. When you get there ask them to make you a cheeseburger. This made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteEmily B. Grade 2 This week I've been reading lots of Piggy and Gerald books by Mo Willems. He is my favorite author and Piggy and Gerald books are my favorite to read. I read Elephants Cannot Dance, this book is funny because Piggy tries to teach Gerald to dance but Gerald says elephants don't dance.
