Mrs. Barton, 1st Grade
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to make a trip to the library to check out House of Robots! Thanks for sharing the trailer and more information about the book!
Mr. Barton and I just adopted a 12 week old yellow lab this weekend, so I spent a majority of this weekend reading lots of articles on how to train puppies. We had so many questions! How much do they eat? Why does she constantly eat grass and mulch? How much should she sleep? How do we train her to go to the bathroom outside? I absolutely love Clifford books, but I knew I wouldn't learn facts and information by reading Clifford books because they are fiction, entertaining. I wanted to learn more information so I had to find articles written by experts (mostly veterinarians). I encountered many text features: bold print, headings, photographs, and captions just to name a few. Has anyone else had any questions this summer? Has anyone else read any informational or instructional books this summer to teach them something new?
Bayleigh F grade 5
DeletePuppy training is hard work. Reading books sure will help. Plus lots of treats. I have two dogs and I am still training them.
I just finished reading Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan. Mrs. Young recommended that I read it and I am glad I did. It is the story of three children, during the World War 2 era, that are helped through this difficult period by an enchanted harmonica and the power of music.
ReplyDeleteWESLEY H grade 2
DeleteHi Mrs. Strayer. I like music. It makes me happy.
Gary C. Grade 3
ReplyDeleteThis week I am reading Ninjago, The Green Ninja. The characters are Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane. Lord Garmadon used the mega weapon on the Grundle fossil and made it come to life. The Ninjas were turned into kids. None of them liked being kids because they can't drive, nobody will listen to them and they don't like bedtime. I think the ninjas will fight the Grundle and defeat him.
Natalie Z grade 3
DeleteI like Ninjago. I only saw that episode as a video
Gary C. Grade 3
DeleteI watch it all of the time. I have a lot of the books and I also have a lot of the toys.
Lan N. Grade 4
ReplyDeleteI am reading One Witch At A Time by Stacy DeKeyser. A boy named Rudi and his friend Susanna found magic beans and they have to return them to the wizard, Petz.
Nick C, grade 4
DeleteI really hope Rudi and Susanna make it there safely.
Carina J, 2nd grade
DeleteI have a sister named Susana!

DeleteJai c 5th grade
ReplyDeleteI just finished a book in the Nathan Hales hazardous tales it was called treaties trenches mud and blood.It was about World War II the states were represented bye animals.
Sounds like a gory book. Did you learn a lot about World War II?
DeleteIanB Grade 3 I would like this book.
DeleteRegan N. Grade 3
ReplyDeleteThe book I read was The Oyster's Secret. This book is about an oyster that had a secret. All the other sea creatures who could do stuff that the oyster made fun of the oyster. They bragged about what they could do that he could not. The oyster kept saying that he had something beautiful too. When the sea turtle came he said that he said that the oyster had something special and you should leave him alone. Then the oyster showed them his special thing and it was a pearl.
Amanda M, Grade 5- That sounds like an interesting book. I will add it to my must read list!
DeleteKylie H. Grade 3 - That sounds like a very cool book!
DeleteBayleigh F grade 5
ReplyDeleteI read Gorillas gentle gaints of the forest.The book was about Gorillas and their habit. Scientists were scared of them at first. DIANE FOSSEY was one of the first scientists to study wild gorillas. To make them trust her she acted like one. Gorillas are very smart.
Hi Bayliegh,
DeleteI am so excited to see that you are reading and blogging with us this summer! Have you ever read about Koko the gorilla who learned how to use sign language to communicate with humans?! Isn't that cool! I agree, gorillas are smart. Keep on reading!
Hi
DeleteI love all animal books. I have not read that one. I will thanks
Amanda M. Grade 5- I just finished reading Forever After High, The Story Book of Legends written by Shannon Hale. It is about the children of people from fairytales (Evil Queen, Prince Charming, Snow White, etc...) The Evil Queens daughter, Raven Queen, wanted to write her own legend instead of following the Evil Queens but she did not know that it could also affect the daughter of Snow White, Apple White's story. You will have to read the book to see what Raven Queen decides to do! Reading the book is much better than watching the movie, which I did after reading the book :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda. I will have to check that out. Yes, I find that I am usually disappointed by movies that are made from my favorite books.
DeleteEmily B Grade3 I would like this book. I like watching the movie Decsendants. This reminds me of that movie to.
DeleteAmanda M Grade 5- it is a very good book to read! My mom told me the movie wouldn't match up as most movies don't but the movie is still a good movie as well. It's just not the same!
DeleteWesley H grade 2 Dinosaurs Before Dark Chapters4-6
ReplyDeleteThis book is fiction. First, the magic treehouse is not real. Second, traveling back in time is not real. This is why the book is fiction.
Way to use evidence from the text to support your statement that this book is fiction. Did you learn any facts about dinosaurs in the book? Keep me posted on the details of the mystery!
DeleteKylie H. Grade 3, Geronimo Stilton
ReplyDeleteNext Geronimo Shivereen, Creepella's niece. She dresses like Creepella by wearing a bat purse and she has a chameleon. Then Geronimo found a phone. He tried to call his sister Thea to tell her he was mouse-napped. Then the phone said, "Put down the phone." Creepella said, "Put down the telephone." Maybe his sister will come to help him near the end of the book.
Great prediction Kylie! I wonder if you will revise your prediction after you read more.
DeleteJai c 5th grade
DeleteI love the Geronimo Stilton books there are so many books that I couldn't finish the series.

ReplyDeleteAubrey D Grade 3.

Ian B. Grade 3 This week I also read Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Pirates. I learned that a lot of pirates caught a disease called scurvey because they didn't eat enough plants they only ate meat. A lot of pirates only wanted to be pirates because they could get a lot of money. One crew forced their captain to become a pirate because they wanted to become pirates. The captain went to where the people who planned his ships trip and he told them he was becoming a pirate and they punished him. The punishment was that the whole crew was hanged.

ReplyDeleteKylie the Carnival Fairy
In my book, two girls have to help a fairy named Kylie find her three carnival hats. The girls names are Rachel and Kirsty. They are friends with the fairies. There are goblins trying to stop them from getting the hats back. My favorite part is when the goblins go through the haunted house. They're scared and it's so funny!

Caly H. Grade 3 Second Grade Rocks
ReplyDeleteI would recommend people going into second grade read this book. In this story a bunch of first graders were excited about going to second grade except for a boy named Andrew. Their teacher told them to draw what they would look like in second grade. Everyone did it except for Andrew. While everyone was drawing Andrew watered the plants, fed the hamster, sharpened pencils, got popcorn, and spun the prize wheel. His friends asked him where his picture was and if he wanted to go to second grade. He said no and one of the kids said why not. Andrew thought he wouldn't have any friends anymore. The teacher said he would have second grade friends. Andrew smiled and went to his desk to draw a picture of all of his friends. Now Andrew is excited for second grade.
Caly,
DeleteWhat a great retelling of your book! Keep reading!
