I am reading Ivy & Bean Doomed to Dance. Ivy and Bean are best friends and decide they want to go to dance class, but when they get to dance class they begin to think maybe it wasn't such a good idea. The girls decided they didn't really like dance class anymore, at the end of each class they have to pretend to be butterflies and Ivy and Bean didn't like pretending to be butterflies. Will they keep going?

I am reading a book called The Isle of the Lost it is about the children of evil villains from princess stories, for example Malificient's daughter and Jafar's son. The king sent all the evil villains and their children to the Isle of the Lost. I am really liking the book right now and I can't wait to see how the story continues and ends.

    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.

    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.

      I think that sounds like a good article. I learned similar things about trees in the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Rain Forests. I think that what she did for her school and our earth was really great. I think we should plant trees on our playground too!

    I read Magic Tree House Books #21-24, Civil War on Sunday, Revolutionary War on Wednesday, Twister on Tuesday, and Earthquake in the Early Morning. In these four books, Annie and Jack tried to solve the mystery of Morgan's library.If they found a special writing in each adventure they would get to see Morgan's library. I liked Revolutionary War on Wednesday the best because I like learning about George Washington. I learned that before Washington became president he was Commander in Chief of the American Army. George Washington helped America become free and in 1789 he became the first president of our country.

    I am reading Magic Tree House #24 "Earthquake in the Early Morning." Jack and Annie went to San Francisco, California. It was the year 1906. They were trying to find the special thing to lend, when the great earthquake happened. Annie fell into a crack in the road. Jack gave her some bricks that she was able to stack up and use to get out. They gave two boys some shoes since they didn't have any.

    I read The Mermaid and the Shoe by K.G. Campbell. There was a king who had 50 daughters. The mermaid named Minnow couldn't do the things her sisters could do. One day she found a shoe and she told her sisters about it. She asked people what they thought it was. A little girl was playing in the water and Minnow was frightened by her feet. She left the surface and swam back home as fast as she could. Minnow told her sisters about her adventure. They were happy for her.
