They want to go to where their friends have been to snorkel and go to the festivals based on the Ancient Mayans.

ReplyDeleteSorry if I have not been posting lately. I'm doing lots of fun things this summer and I don't have time to post. Anyways, I have been reading What Do You Mean? by Jeri Ferris. This book is a biography and it is about Noah Webster. Noah was born on a farm. This book tells how you can learn about who made the most common dictionary today.
Fun Facts: 1. Noah thought though should be spelled like tho, live and give spelled liv and giv, and rough and tough spelled ruf and tuf. 2. He learned 25 languages. French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Chaldaic, Syriac, Samaritan, Ethiopic, Persian, Irish, Armoric, Anglo-Saxon, Portuguese, Welsh, Gothic, and early English.
Hi Lan,
DeleteI'm so glad that you are having a fun summer and that you still find some time to read! Wow! Noah Webster actually learned 25 languages. That's impressive! I'm glad you stopped by the blog and posted your fun facts!

Hi Hunter! I was walking at my brother's house in South Carolina last week and on the way down to his boat dock there was a very long snake right in my path. I think he was sleeping, but I backed up and left him alone anyway!

Hannah T. Grade 2. I read a book called Dixie by Grace Gilman. It is about Dixie the dog waiting for her owner Emma to come home from school. One day Emma came home and said, "I'm too excited to do anything today Dixie because I have a school play." Emma didn't know what the meant, but if Emma was excited, Dixie was excited! Dixie was so excited that she grabbed the play script from Emma's hands. Dixie tried to be good while Emma just studied her lines, but she was bored. Then Emma came home and told Dixie that she got the role of Dorothy in the play and that her dog was going to play the role of Toto! Emma began to get nervous that she was going to forget her lines, and she lost her red shoe. She was so upset, but Dixie found the shoe and the play went great! This story reminds me of when I did a play in preschool. I was a cow during the Christmas pageant. I wasn't nervous though.
ReplyDeleteDid you like being in the play Hannah? My son has been in many school musicals. They are a great thing to get involved with in school. Do you know the play that Emma was in? It is from one of my favorite childhood books.
DeleteHannah T. Grade 2. I kind of did like being in the play, but I kind of didn't because it was long. But we got snacks at the end, so I liked that. Emma was in the play The wizard of Oz. I saw that movie with my daddy.
DeleteI saw the Wizard of OZ with my DAD too. I was in a Christmas play before in preschool and first grade.It was fun.
DeleteJasmine A 2nd grade I am reading princess party by Joy Allen. my favorite part is when they go to sleep and in their dreams "princesses twirl princesses whirl for princesses are incredible girls."

DeleteEmma M Grade 2
DeleteHi Jasmine! I read that book this summer too and really liked it!
So I just finished the book I was reading called the copper gauntlet and it was really good! Call finally told his friends that he was the Enemy! So that made the book even better. Now I am thinking of reading another book I have called the lightning theft which is a Percy Jackson book! (The first one!) I'm really exited!
ReplyDeleteI hear Percy Jackson books are fantastic. Have you read any of the other books about him?
DeleteEmersonC5th So I just finished reading this book that I was reading called the copper gauntlet which was really good. Call finally told his friends that he was the Enemy! Since I finished that book, I am now probably going to read the lightning theft! Tell me if its any good!
ReplyDeleteHi Emmy, I saw your mom today, but she was too far away for me to get her attention. Why was Call an enemy to his friends?

Caly H. Grade 3 This Is The Place For Me
ReplyDeleteThis book is about a bear named Morty. He broke everything in his house because he was so big. He broke the chair, table, door and window. Snow went everywhere in his house so he packed up and went to find a new house. He first found a cave but it had a dragon in it. Then he found a candy house but he was hungry and he ate the whole house. Next he found a house on a boat but it started to sink because Morty was too big. He found another house that was too small and one that was too thin and one that was haunted. He was all alone and walked along sadly. Then he stopped at a house that had a broken chair, table, door and window. It was empty and he fixed everything and lived there.
P.S. It was really his old house!
Wesley H grade 2
DeleteI think he should have built a new house that was bigger.
Avery B Grade 3
DeleteI agree with Wesley he should have built a bigger house. I would like to read this book.
Were you predicting what sort of home he should live in as you read? What do you think it should have been like? I would love to buy an old house and fix it up!
Deletejaelyn r. grade 3
ReplyDeletei finished reading judy moody around the world in 8 1/2 days. it was the 8th day the groups were giving the presentation of their countries. it was judy groups turn. frankie was holding the italy flag; jessica was holding a picture of the effel tower and judy did the prestation (was the talking). italy is known for pizza, pasta and the effel tower. when judy finished the presentation they played a game (bingo pasta just like bingo).
Hi Jaelyn, Pizza and pasta do indeed come from Italy, but The Eiffel Tower is in France. I think you mean another tower that leans. Hint.
DeleteWesley H grade 2 Bear's Loose Tooth
ReplyDeleteIf I changed the title of the book it would be Bear Looses His First Tooth. I think Bear this is the first tooth bear looses because he is scared.
Jasmine A. grade 2 I went to beach last year and I had a loose tooth. me and my dad had a pillow fight. my dad hit me with a pillow and BAM! my tooth flew out.

At the beginning of the book, Geronimo joins his sister Thea for lunch. She showed him a map leading to a buried treasure. I predict that Thea and Geronimo will find the lost treasure of the Emerald Eye.

Kailee F. Grade 5 Quest for keys
ReplyDeleteEmily Jones was in her grandmothers garden, when she went to a tree she went to sit down and she fell through it. She was very confused. Then she found fire, earth, wind, and water elves. They all explained to Emily the only way to get back home is to find four keys to open the portal again.
Sounds very interesting Kailee. So happy that you are reading so much this summer.
DeleteMrs. Dragovich
Cool Kailee! What are Water Elves? Are they like Santa's?

ReplyDeleteLast week I started reading another book but was really busy so I didn't finish it but wanted to post about another book I read that was shorter.
It was a book called The Gruffalo. This was bought for my sister and I a few years ago from a friend of a family who lives in London. It was very popular there. It's about a small mouse who walked the forest and different animals tried to get him to go back to their house so they could eat him so he told a story about a gruffalo who was an scary monster. They didn't believe him but one day he came upon an actual Gruffalo. He took him through the forest so all the animals could see. He was the scariest mouse in the forest.
How exciting to read a book that is popular in another country! Do you think it could be popular in America too? We have many things in common all over the world.
DeleteNatalie z grade 3

Hi Natalie! I was thinking of you last week on my vacation because we stopped in at a Build a Bear Workshop and I saw Toothless!!!! I know he is your favorite fictional dinosaur/dragon. Which is your favorite from the book you just read?

ReplyDeleteI am reading a book called double fudge by Judy Blume. I read the book before but I wanted to read it again because I haven't read it in a while. Sometimes you just need to start reading books that you thought you read before but then you start realizing that you've never read them as often as you think you have. So far in the book A little boy name fudge ( Farley) His older brother Peter and his mom and dad and their little baby sister find out that there long lost relatives have a Little boy and his name is Farley too . I can't wait to keep reading it !
