SPRING MAY HAVE SPRUNG...BUT OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE

Reading is contagious in our classroom as you can see from the number of students who have signed up for Book Talks this week. After your child reads a book ask them to consider signing up to present a short 1-3 minute Book Talk or Book Commercial. Students have been well prepared for their "talks"and have received amazing glows and just a few suggestive grows.

Here are a few comments from this week's presenters.

Timmy wants us to remember that Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye has many funny parts and he recommends this book to anyone who likes fantasy books. It was funny when Geronimo fell overboard the ship and when he returned Trap jumped up and down on his stomach and yelled, 

"HE'S ALIVE...HE'S ALIVE!"

Vincenzo wants us to remember in the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck that Roderick threw Greg's goldfish out the window, he's a mean brother! Vincenzo recommends this book because it is funny.

MacLean wants us to remember that in her book, Who Was Alexander Graham Bell? that AGB invented a metal detector and had a chance to locate the bullet in President Garfield. Unfortunately his machine failed because the bed was made of metal and Bell's machine didn't work properly.

Dante wants us to remember that Junie B. Jones hides herself well in small crevices, like when she hid in a tight shelf because she didn't want to get on the bus. So read Junie B. Jones and the Smelly Bus.

Ben wants us to remember that Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is really funny, especially when Sweetie, the dog jumped in Greg's bed. Ben recommends this realistic fiction story to anyone who's looking for a book with a sense of humor.

Emma shared a biography Who Was Albert Einstein? and wants us to know that he went to high school when he was only 10 years old. Emma recommends this book to anyone who wants to learn why Albert Einstein was so famous.

Look at our our upcoming Book Talks next week.
