| Ninjago: The Green Ninja |
This 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 predict the ninjas will fight the Grundle and defeat him. What do you think will happen? Read Ninjango: The Green Ninja to find out.

| Ever After High: The Storybook of Legends |
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!

Nugget told Fang and said they could not be friends. Nugget swam away and Fang was sad. Then one day a bunch of fish including Nugget got caught in a fisherman's net. Nugget screamed for help.

Kylie H., Grade 3, Todd's Odd Day
ReplyDeleteIn this book Todd went for a walk around the block and he saw many odd things. First, he saw a dog jogging with a pig. He also saw a fox with a mop, frogs playing soccer in the middle of the street, a cop stopping an otter on a log, and a lobster leaving a shop with a lollipop. That is so silly! He saw lots of other odd things too, but then his mom knocked on his bedroom door and woke him up. It was all a dream -- or maybe not! He went downstairs to join his mom at the breakfast table. She was reading a newspaper with an octopus sitting right beside her. The newspaper headline was "Octopus Escapes from Aquarium". I guess it really was an odd day for Todd.
Hi Kylie,
DeleteSounds like a funny book! Do you think I should have my husband read it? His name is Todd!!
Mrs. Dragovich
Sure, I think he would like it too!
DeleteNick c, grade 4

DeleteKylie H., Grade 3, the Secret of Cacklefur Castle
ReplyDeleteThis week Geronimo's creepy adventures in the castle continue. He meets many new residents of the castle. Two of my favorite residents are Snip and Snap. They are identical twin mice who are very smart and very good at computers -- just like my brother, Tyler! They play practical jokes on everyone in the castle. They play a few tricks on Geronimo and he is not very happy. It seems that everyone and everything Geronimo meets including the "talking toilet", the "flesh eating strawberries", and the mummies are all out to get him! He finally had enough and tried to escape the castle, but Boneham the Butler caught him. Geronimo just can't seem to get out of Creepella's creepy castle no matter how hard he tries.
That sounds very exciting Kylie! I like haw you made the connection between the mice in the book and your brother.
DeleteGavin T. Grade 3
DeleteDo you think he can get out or not.
Ben A. Grade 3, Sideways Stories from Wayside School
ReplyDeleteI finished this book. Louis had a rainbow mustache and rainbow hair. All of the children called him Louis the yard teacher. Maurecia loved ice cream and every day she brought in a different flavor. Her favorite flavor was chocolate. You should really read this book to learn about all of the funny students.
I am surprised she didn't love Rainbow Sherbet! What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

DeleteCarina J, Grade 2, 2nd Grade Star. In my book a 2nd grade girl named Kelly's class is doing a musical for their parents. Kelly really wants to be picked to do one of the acts but she isn't and has to sing instead. Then she is chosen to do something else and its the programs but the programs got wet in a puddle on her way home from school so she has to dry them. They get spotty. She also teaches one of the students that they can sing well. Then she brings in the programs and she is worried that her music teacher will get mad at her but she doesn't notice. Then the power goes off at the musical. Then Kelly starts up the musical again and helps them to sing after the power goes off.
ReplyDeleteMan, nothing was going right for Kelly, but she never gave up even when she was nervous.
DeleteHannah T. 2 grade. Hi Carina. That girl was persistent and made the most of the situation!
DeleteHannah T. Grade 2. Okay, I think my daddy finally showed my mommy how to help me post in the correct week! ;) So, this past week a book I read that I really liked was Garfield the magician. I love Garfield, and my favorite part of this book was when Jon did a magic trick. He had nothing in his hand, but hid it with a handkerchief. Then he pulled off the handkerchief and there was a lasagna for Garfield!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read a book on magic tricks? We have some in The Elmwood library I bet you could learn some tricks!
DeleteHi Hannah,
DeleteI love lasagna! Do you know any magic tricks?

Aubrey D, grade 3,
ReplyDeleteI read "my mom is Trying to RUIN my life" in this story the little girl has 5 reasons. Then she made up a plan. When her mom wasn't looking she ran out of the house with her bike. she would ride her bike until she finds a mud puddle so her mom would get stuck. But I would get stuck too. Then her mom would tell the police that her child has biked away. After that they put her in jail for ruining her child's life.
Do you ever feel that your mom is ruining your life with some of her rules? I did when I was growing up, but now I know they were to protect me!

ReplyDeleteI read the book The Creature From My Closet Wonkenstein. In this book a boy named Robert had a closet and one day a creature came out. It was part Willy Wonka and part Frankenstien so they called it Wonkenstein read the book to find out what happens.

A king decided to throw a ball so his son the prince could get married. Cinderella had to help her sisters get ready for the ball. The sisters laughed when Cinderlla said she wanted to go. The stepsisters went without Cinderella. Then Cinderlla heard a voice. It was her fairy godmother. The fairy godmother made a pumpkin into a coach, a rat into a coachman, two lizards into two footmen, and six mice into six white horses so Cinderella could go to the ball. She also made Cinderella a white dress with a flower and gave her a pair of shiny glass slippers. She told Cinderella all the fancy stuff would go back at midnight. Cinderella went to the ball. They prince danced with Cinderella all night. Then the clock struck midnight and Cinderella ran away and she lost one of her shoes. All the stuff turned back into what it was before. The prince found the slipper and tried it on every girl in the land and finally he got to Cinderlla's house. It didn't fit the sisters but when it was Cinderella's turn it fit perfectly. Then they got married.
