Week 5 Challenge 2015


It's Week Five of our Summer Reading Blog Challenge. How is your reading going?

If you are wondering what book to read next, here are a few suggestions from Ian, Paige, and Alycia.

The Official Ninja Turtle Handbook by Golden Books
This week I've been reading The Official Ninja Turtle Handbook. It told me everything about all of the characters in the episodes of Turtles that I like to watch. It also told me about the monsters the turtles try to defeat. 
Ian B. Grade 2 
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer by Megan McDonald
I am currently reading Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Judy Moody thinks she is going to have the best summer ever. In the beginning of the story Judy had news from her mom. Her mom said that her aunt Opal was coming over to watch her while they go to California. Next in the story, aunt Opal came and gave Stink (Judy's brother) and Judy a present. Stink got a book on how to catch Big Foot and Judy got a mood ring. That is what happened so far in my book. I'll tell you more about it next week! 
Paige H. Grade 3 
Best Friends Forever by Amy Shields
I am starting to read Best Friends Forever it is about different true stories about friendships of animals. In chapter one, an orangutang named Suryia and a dog named Roscoe meet by a stream where Suryia and an elephant named Bubbles are walking down a stream with their trainer Moksha Bybee. They spot Roscoe lonely cold and hungry. 
Alycia Q. Grade 5

    I read Magic Tree House Fact Tracker #6 Rain Forests. I learned about plants and animals that live in rain forests. There are very big plants in the rain forest, and some are even bigger than bicycle tires! There are animals in the rain forests that haven't even been discovered or named yet! Rain forests are being destroyed by people and animals are becoming endangered. Rain forests give us a bunch of stuff that help us live and stay alive like food, medicine, and clean air. In the Magic Tree House book Afternoon in the Amazon Jack and Annie go to the rain forest in the present day, but if the rain forests become extinct the author will have to change the book so Jack and Annie have to go back in time to see the rain forest. The most important thing I learned from these books is that we need to protect and save our rain forests!

  11. I read How to Speak Dragonese by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III, translated by Cressida Cowell. It was about Hiccup learning how to board an enemy ship. He accidently boarded a Roman ship, and his dragon Toothless was captured by the Romans. His friend Fishlegs and him went back to Berk and got yelled at by Gobber. The next day they got kidnapped by the Romans and they sailed them to Fort Sinister. They were in a prison tower with other prisoners. A soldier threw a green ball at Hiccup, but it was toothless who was rolled up. The soldiers let them out to fight in the amphitheater, but they had to fight shark worms, not gladiators. Read the book to see what happens next. Natalie Z grade 2

    1. Natalie, Thanks for giving enough details to make other people interested in reading the book, but not giving away the ending. Way to build suspense! P.S. I finally found out what Toothless looks like. I saw a toy Toothless at Wal-Mart. - Mrs. Strayer

    2. I have a coloring picture of Toothless that I colored. I am glad you know what he looks like now, so you know what I am talking about when I write about books like that. Natalie Z grade 2

    Today I read the book The Dandelion Seed. It's about a dandelion seed that doesn't want to blow away. The stronger the wind blew the more the seed held on tight. One day the seed blew away. It traveled and traveled and traveled until it landed in the snow. The snow was like a blanket and one day in the spring it started to sprout. Then the sunshine came out. It grew leaves and flowers started to grow. Animals ate the leaves and bugs drank the nectar. Then more seeds came and they blew away except for one seed that was blown away by a boy.
