Howdy, folks!
I hope that you kids have been enjoying your reading so far! There are some really excellent choices on your list and I hope that you’ve been able to get your hands on some books that have kept your attention! Oh, and I REALLY hope that you used part of the 3-day weekend to read! I know that I got quite a few comments to moderate over the break!
So here are the prompts of the week…
- What book did you choose as your second project book? You really should be reading your second book by now, but I also know that some of you are on your third or fourth!
and
- Explain how you decided what book you were going to read for this round. Maybe you didn’t get your first choice when we started, maybe you picked it based on another student’s blog responses maybe I recommended it to you or maybe it was a random choice that just sounded good at the time. Whatever it was, we want to know!

(1) The name of my book is ” trouble ”
(2) I got “trouble” because the book I wanted was out so I got “trouble”

Well, was there any particular reason that you chose to read “Trouble”? Surely there’s more to it than that!

I know that I recommended it to you, but you should explain why you think I did! Maybe it has something to do with another book I saw you reading or something I know is a hobby of yours…

This was one of my picks for the 5th/6th grade book list. I am so glad someone has chosen to read it. I will warn you that it is a little strange. (I think most of Lois Lowry’s books are!) However, it is a wonderful story and I think you’ll really like it.

The book I chose as my second project book is “Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Staurt Little”.
I chose this book as my second project book because, it was one of the books on my list,and Mackenzie said it was a great book.

Mrs. Northcutt Reply:

What did Mackenzie tell you about it? She’s way more talkative than to just say that it was “great”! I’ll bet she said a lot more than that.
[Reply]
Cameryn D Reply:
September 10th, 2009 at 7:27 am
What Mackenzie told me about it was she gave me the breif outline of the story, and said it was a book that fit my personality. And you are right Mackenzie can get a little talkative!☻☺

That’s more like it, Cameryn! We need to encourage Mackenzie A. to join this online conversation! I’d love to hear her side of the story…

Why does Moxy Maxwell not like Staurt Little?
[Reply]
Cameryn D Reply:
September 10th, 2009 at 7:30 am
Moxy does not like staurt little because she has to read it over the summer, because her class is going to take a test on it the first day of school. She would much rather play and have fun during summer.

I picked The Magians Nepheew By C.S Lewis.
Because in class we were reading The Cronicols of Narnia The Lion The Whitch and The Wardrobe.

So, why did you think that reading “The Magician’s Nephew” would be a good idea? Do you like “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”? If so, then why do you feel that way?

Yaaaayyyyy! I’m so glad you picked this one! I love that series and when I read that book, it gave me a lot of insight and cleared a lot of things up for me that I was curious about when reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Do you think you’ll go on to read the rest of the series?

You mean get AR points, or points about the second book in the series? Either way, it was a good decision. I think it is a good book and if you like it, you should go on to read the rest of the series.

(1). The name of my book is called Saxby Smart Private Detective in The Curse of the Ancient Mask and Other Case Files.
(2). The reason why I picked this book is because I love mystery books and this was a mystery book because Agent Saxby Smart was looking for clues like CSI does and then somehow he gets enough imformation to solve the clues/the mysterys.
