Osman M. Grade 1

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!

Natalie Z. Grade 2

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 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?

Kailee F. Grade 4

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.
