| Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar |
I finished reading Sideways Stories from Wayside School. 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.Here's a short video that tells more about the book.

Rayne B. 2nd grade Green eggs and Ham
ReplyDeleteThere was a little kid named Sam who was trying to get an adult to eat green eggs and ham. Sam tried to get the adult to eat green eggs and ham in different places. I connected to this book because I have never had rice before but I tried it just like Sam did with his green eggs and ham.
Amanda M. Grade 5- This is one of my favorite books ever! My mom reads it to my brother often! I still sit in on their bedtime stories and listen to this one when she is reading it!
DeleteWesley H. Grade 2
DeleteI read that book before too. It made me happy that the adult ate the green eggs and ham.
Jasmine A. grade 2 I am reading that same book. I think the book is funny.
DeleteGary C. Grade 3
DeleteI like Dr. Suess books. They are funny because he makes rhymes and he uses his imagination. I actually have eaten green eggs and ham a couple of times. It looks cool and it tastes good.
Lucas w. grade 4
DeleteI read that book before
Austin B. 2nd grade
DeleteI love Dr. Sue's books. I have a ton of them. This is a silly book. I don't know own if I would eat green eggs and ham
Emerson C. grade 5
DeleteI read that book a very long time ago!
Did you eat your rice with some mice?
ReplyDeleteLan N. Grade 4
ReplyDeleteI just read all about Christopher Columbus. He was looking to find the "Indies" which is known as Japan and China. Marco Polo went there and Christopher read all about his trip and got authorized to go by Queen Isabella. Sadly, he never arrived at the "Indies." He was disappointed that he didn't find loads of gold. (Marco Polo wrote that lots of gold were at the "Indies") He only found a couple pieces of gold, cotton, parrots, corn, etc. But he discovered some things more exciting than gold. The Europeans had discovered new islands. Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, America, etc. He soon died of a disease. Christopher Columbus will always be important. Without him we wouldn't know what America is.
nick c grade 4 I wonder why they didn't make it to the queen?
Deletenick c grade 4 I wonder why they didn't make it to the Indies?
DeleteIan B grade 3 what disease did he have? Maybe it was scurvey!
DeleteThat is great you discovered the background of Christopher Columbus. I hope you continue to read more about the history of our country and it's first inhabitants as you get older.
DeleteKylie H. Grade 3, The Tree of Life
ReplyDeleteThe tree of life is a coconut tree. You can find it in Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, and Tonga. The leaf part is called frond. There are coconuts, a trunk, leaf, and roots on the tree. A coconut can roll out to shore and go to a different island. When it stays on land it can turn into another coconut tree. People use the outside of the coconut to make furniture. The roots can give them medicine and also flavors in their drinks. People pick off leaves from the coconut tree to make an outfit. People use the milk inside of the coconut for a drink. People make soap out of it too. There are different parts of the coconut. These are the white flesh, milky water, inner shell, husk, and the coir. People use their bare hands to make the milk. The tree of life is important to people who live on the islands.
Avery B Grade 3
DeleteLast summer I went on a cruise and on one of the stops in Jamaica we tried coconut milk out of a real coconut.
Did you like it Avery? I love everything coconut! Food, soap, lotion etc... My dad did not like it. But that is okay to have different tastes.
DeleteAmanda M. Grade 5- I am currently reading another Yeti Files book! This one is about the Yeti and his friend, the Sea Monster. The sea monster is the only sea monster, there are not other one around :( The Yeti and the Sea Monster go to a leprechaun and the leprechaun helps the sea monster go back in time and find the other sea monsters but a dinosaur was attacking the sea monsters so they returned home and ended up finding another sea monster in present time!
ReplyDeleteWOW! How do a Yeti and Sea Monster travel together?
DeleteAmanda M. Grade 5, The leprechaun helped them with time travel :)
DeleteThat is an interesting cast of characters grouped in one book!
DeleteWesley H. Grade 2

Kailee F. Grade 5
DeleteThat sounds like a cool book I will read it.
Yes, life was good when I was young, but it is wonderful now too. You should keep your journals from school so you can share your memories with your children some day.
DeleteNick c 4 grade
ReplyDeletethis week Sammy found out how ss10k was making the other robots
ss10k touches them and they go crazy because
when you put a magnet up to a iPhone it makes a iPhone stop working and Sammy was tring to spy on the make rand he gets cough.
I found out that electronics and magnets can't mix when my sons were little. One of them put a magnet on the TV screen and it wouldn't work for days. I am glad you READ a book to learn that before something broke!
DeleteJasmine A. grade 2 green eggs and ham I am reading green eggs and ham. I like this book because its funny and my connection is I have tried green eggs and ham before when I was in Miss Taylor's class in kindergarten and I liked it. I also like that the book has lots of rhymes.
ReplyDeleteAubrey D Grade 3
DeleteI have read this book many times. Did you like it? I did. I like all the rhythms.
Hannah T. Grade 2. Sounds kinda good and kinda bad at the same time, but I think I'd like to try eating that, too!
DeleteEmma M Grade 2
DeleteI remember reading that book in kindergarten too. I tried green eggs and ham and did not like it.
It is a classic. You will read it to your children someday!
DeleteAvery B Grade 3
ReplyDeleteThis week I read a book called Izzy the Ice Cream Fairy. The book is about a girl who runs an ice cream stand and one day she runs out of ice cream. So she searches for a place to buy ice cream. She can't find any. She searched and searched and finally found some. It was a place called ice cream land. She goes there and gets her ice cream but she forgot she had a carnival that day, what will she do to get back on time?
Emily B Grade3 Hey Avery, this sounds like the Candy Fariy book I was reading, but that book was about chocolate not ice cream. Sounds like I would like this book to! Also, happy ice cream day!!
DeleteI LOVE ice cream! That would be a hard place to leave, but I respect the fact that she wants to bring it more back for her customers. She is being responsible and unselfish.
DeleteAubrey D grade 3
ReplyDeleteThis week I read A to Z Mysteries The Falcon’s Feathers. In this mystery book the kids found a couple of baby falcons and when they went back to see them again they were gone. When they were looking on the ground for the babies they found one and it had a tag on it. They took the baby to the vet. The kids thought someone had stolen the baby falcons so they could race them. At the end they found all the missing baby falcons in a shed.
What did you learn about falcons?
DeleteBen A, Grade 3, Dinosaurs
ReplyDeleteI really like dinos. I learned that Maiasaura can lay up to 25 eggs. T Rex hid in the bushes and surprised his prey. Eoraptor lived in the triassic period. Deinonychus hunted in packs. The Triceratops means three horned. Stegasaurus was hunted by large meat eaters. Plateosaurus could rear up on its back legs.
Natalie z grade 3
DeleteThat book sounds cool. I never read it though.
Wow! Great facts!
DeleteBen A. Grade 3
DeleteThank you Mrs. Strayer!
Kailee F. Grade 5 The secret promise.
ReplyDeleteEmily has a ball with a lot of different princesses. Emily saw an obstacle course and she saw boys playing on it. She wanted to play on it but her mom said "no". At dinner she told her mom she would be back in a minute, so she went outside and played on the obstacle course.
Oh no! Were there consequences for not listening to her mom?
DeleteChloe M grade 5
DeleteWow sounds interesting I know my I would get in trouble if I went and done something my mom said not to .sounds like a good book !
Emily B Grade 3 Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Dolphins and Sharks I've been reading about dolphins and sharks, I'm not finished with this book yet, but I wanted to share some facts that I've learned so far with everyone. Killer Whales are actually the 2nd nicest animals in the ocean. It eats seals, porpoises, birds, whales and even other dolphins. They can eat up to 50 pounds of food at one time, and some eat 400 pounds of food a day! Spinner dolphins are very acrobatic and can spin up to 16 times before going back into the ocean. These dolphins travel in groups of up to 1000 dolphins.
ReplyDeleteWow! If they eat all that, what makes them so nice?
DeleteGavin T. Grade 3
DeleteI read that fact tracker too! What is your favorite fact so far?
Austin B Grade 2 Does It Sink or Float?
ReplyDeleteI liked this book because I liked learning about what what sank or floated. I knew the watermelon would float because I saw that at Boy Scout camp the same day I read the book.
What book did you read? I am glad you are exploring scientific properties by reading and by experimenting! Boy Scouts are fun! My boys learned a lot there too!
DeleteHannah T. Grade 2 One of my favorite books I read this week was a Scooby Doo book about Scooby and Shaggy making a cake. Scooby put Scooby snacks in the cake and he thought it was delicious, but Shaggy tried to eat it and didn't like it at first because Scooby snacks are snacks for dogs, but then he tried it again and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Scooby Doo was made into books! It was only a cartoon when I was your age. I still can sing the theme song! Who is your favorite character?
DeleteEmma M Grade 2 Rihanna the Seahorse Fairy
ReplyDeleteKirsty and Rachael are at a summer camp and they are helping the magical animal fairies, because Jack Frost had stolen all of the magical animals. My favorite part was when they found the seahorse.
Why was that your favorite part?
DeleteNatalie z grade 3
ReplyDeleteI read Haunted castle on hallow's eve, magic treehouse #30. This book is about Jack and Annie. They need to rescue the diamond of destiny from the raven king who is part human part raven. The family who had the diamond of destiny before the raven king stole it became invisible. The kids were awake and their parents were asleep. Everyone else in the castle turned invisible too. Jack and Annie turned themselves into ravens with Teddy's help, and they stole the diamond back from the raven king. This book is really awesome.
Caly H. Grade 3
DeleteWere Annie and Jack scared?
Great question Caly!
DeleteCaly H. Grade 3 The Lonely Scarecrow
ReplyDeleteThis book is about a scarecrow that was lonely. No animals would be his friend because they thought he was too scary. One time when it was winter the animals came to the scarecrow and climbed him because he was covered in snow and looked like a snowman. The snow melted and the scarecrow thought the animals would be afraid again but they weren't afraid anymore. Now the scarecrow isn't lonely anymore.
What were some of the other animals? Did he look scary as a snowman?
DeleteCaly H. Grade 3
DeleteThere were bunnies, a fox, an owl, mice and birds. No, he looked friendly as a snowman.
Thanks! It is kind of funny to picture a scary snowman though. That might be an interesting story to write.
DeleteIan B Grade 3 I read Magic Treehouse Shadow of the Shark. In this book Morgan and Merlin thought they weren't giving enough gratitude to Jack and Annie for doing all the dangerous adventures so they gave them a vacation to wherever they wanted to go is where they would get to go in the treehouse. Jack and Annie decided they wanted to go to Mexico to snorkel. They accidentally went back in time about 100 years. They were attacked by a shark when they were on a raft looking for the coral reef. To see how Jack and Annie get home safely you should read the book!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to leave me in suspense! I will read it to find out if they still were glad they chose Mexico.
DeleteGary C. Grade 3
ReplyDeleteI am reading Bad Kitty vs Uncle Murray. This book is so funny. Uncle Murray lookd after Bad Kitty and Puppy. Bad Kitty does not like Uncle Murray, she calls him a monster. Uncle Murray is funny because he talks to himself a lot. My favorite part is when Bad Kitty tries to eat Puppy's leg because she has not eaten in 20 minutes. That part reminds me of my dog trying to bite my other dog's leg.
Bad Kitty is hilarious!
DeleteRena P. Grade 5
ReplyDeleteI read a book called Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. In the story, a donkey named Sylvester Duncan likes to collect pebbles. On a rainy Saturday, he finds a flaming red, shiny, perfectly round pebble like a marble. When he picked it up it stopped raining! He says to himself, "What a lucky day this is!" As he was crossing Strawberry Hill, he saw a mean, hungry lion. He was pretty calm. Meanwhile back at the house, Mrs and Mr. Duncan couldn't find him anywhere! They asked everybody, but they had no clue. They went to the police. They had no clue too. After a month of searching he was never found. When Sylvester woke a from sleeping, all he felt was hopeless and unhappy. Then it turned into Winter. He had nothing but himself. Then turned Spring. In May, Mr and Mrs. Duncan went on a picnic. Since Sylvester turned into a rock, the magic pebble was on his back. Sylvester said in his mind, " I wish I were my myself again, I wish I were myself again!" Then he turned back into a donkey! The Duncan Family was so happy that they lived happily ever after!
Rena, you write such nice summaries! Which do you enjoy more, reading or writing? Thanks for sharing Sylvester and the Magic Pebble with us!
