I read A to Z Mysteries: The Jaguar's Jewel. It is about three kids who go to New York City to visit one kid's uncle. The kids uncle works in a museum and they get a crate with a golden cup, a solid gold jaguar, and a fake emerald (because someone stole the real emerald). The story is about the kids trying to find the real emerald and who stole it. Read the book to find out what happens!

I read the article "Giving Trees" from Time for Kids; it is about a girl who planted 25 trees around her playground. I learned that trees give us oxygen and help the air and water stay clean. I liked this article because I like plants and animals. 
Jacob B. Grade 3 
I read three articles from Time For Kids. My favorite article was "RoboKid" because a teenage boy had surgery and could not go to school. He sends a robot to school so he could still learn and would be able to complete his work.
Tyler B. Grade 5
I read the book Pegasus. It's about a girl named Emily. There's a big storm on earth in New York City.  Pegasus from Olympus is all hurt and crashes on Emily's roof. Emily, Pegasus, and Emily's new found friend Joel set off to find the Flame of Olympus who can save Olympus. Along the way a few more friends join their quest as they face the terrible C.R.U. (central research unit). In the end they find out Emily is the Flame of Olympus, but will Emily sacrifice her life for Olympus?

    I read Magic Tree House Stage Fright on a Summer Night where Jack and Annie meet William Shakespeare. I wanted to learn more about William Shakespeare so I went to the library to borrow Bard of Avon The Story of William Shakespeare by Diane Stanley and Peter Vennema. I learned about his life and about things they do in theater. They used every day things to make sound effects instead of recordings like a cannon ball rolling on top of the stage to make the sound of thunder. I really like learning about theater and I am going to theater camp with the Popcorn Hat Players right now. If you like theater you should read these books. Theater camp is fun too!

    I read Goosebumps A Night in Terror Tower, chapters 1 - 5. In this book so far, a girl named Sue and her brother Eddie were sightseeing in London while their parents were at a conference. Sue and Eddie took a tour of the Terror Tower. A scary tour guide and a creepy dark figure make the tour a lot more scary! They learned that they locked a prince and princess in the tower.

  20. I read Eerie Elementary, The Locker Ate Lucy, by Jack Chabert. It is about 3 kids named Sam, Antonio, and Lucy and their elementary school is alive. This is the 2nd Eerie elementary book I read. The friends are in a graveyard talking about a book called Eerie a town history, and about the gravestones. Then it's time for them, to go to class and Lucy has to get her sunglasses from her locker. Her locker eats her. Then Sam and Antonio go into her locker and find a little tunnel. They crawl through the tunnel and it gets smaller as they go. When they finally reach the end of the tunnel they are in the school basement and they find out the truth about the school and Orson Eerie. This book was kind of creepy to read. Natalie Z grade 2

    I read the book Are You My Mother? while I was at the dentist. A baby bird hatched and it's mother wasn't in the nest. She was getting food. He left the nest and asked a bunch of other animals and things if they were his mother. They were not her. Then he went back to the nest and his mother came and he asked her if she was his mother and she said yes!
