Kenzie-5/28/10- Sounds like a great book!

Emily, 5/25/2010 I am so excited to go to camp again!!! It is so much fun, but at least a couple times I can find time for reading. I think a MUST READ series is Summer Camp Secrets!! There are three books in the series. I decided to start reading these because I think it will be exciting because it is about a girl who is going to overnight camp for her first time. Even though it will be my third year at overnight camp, I think I will still be able to connect to what the person going to camp will be doing and acting like. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! Bye Bye!! :)

Emily, 5/11/2010 (my half birthday!!) I am reading a book by Meg Cabot. It is called Forever Princess! Meg is a great writer. She decided to start writing books, when she moved to New York, and failed with a lot of activities, and school, so she started to write. It doesn't say why she wrote Forever Princess, but it is in the Princess Diary series, and it is based on a movie. You might know it. It is called Princess Diary. Meg was born February 1, 1967. She was born on the sign of the fire horse, which is known to be a unlucky sign. I guess she was unlucky, if she kept failing in a lot of school work. She sells more then 50 books for adults, and teens. Many of them have been the New York Times Bestsellers. She has sold more then 15 million copies.

Meredith 5-9-10 Emily, is the book Anne Frank's Diary? I did a report on Anne Frank in second grade. I really want to read the book. By the way Great comment!

Samantha 5-5-10 Hi Emily!!!! I saw and read your comment and I think it is really good!! You had to write a news letter and you wrote a good one!!! Well, have a great time reading it!!!! BYE BYE!!!! Samantha Emily May, 5, 2010- Ahhhh!!!! Best selling book in April!!!! Readers have been reading this book a lot, and if you haven't I think it is time that you do!!!! This book is about a girl named Jaqueline, she is telling the story about her friendship with Anne. Anne becomes Jaqueline's friend, when Jaqueline is forst to move to a new school because she is Jewish. - Amazing book, it makes me want to cry, it is so touching, NewYork Book Station - So heartbreaking with all the Drama, Emily Shimanovsky, news article, book rating Station!! (Do you know in books, how it says on the back, like how other people thought the book is?? Well, this is what that is supposed to be.) Who? Anne Frank, Jaqueline What? Their friendship Where? Netherlands When? In the time of the Nazi's. How? How they try to escape from the Soldiers!

really 11. All the people thought he was older. So, some older people and him go on a space ship. All the people think the 11 year old is the oldest, so they think that he should drive. Then, Joey (the 11 year old big guy) and a little girl pretend, that Joey is her dad, and Joey gets her everything, and acts like a real dad! That's all for now!! BYE BYE!

Emily-April 6- OMG, I just finished the book i was reading!! It is called TAKE TWO! It was amazing. It was Payton and Emma's 2nd week of school, (and in the first book of the series they switch places, and get in a lot of trouble.) So, since they got in trouble they had to go to detention. Then Counslor Case, told them instead of having detention, they can do after school activities. Which weren't any better! Counslor Case had to twin sons who were very wild and annoying. Emma (the smart twin,) and Payton (the one who likes performing,) said that they would each tutor the twins, but Payton said that she would much rather do Drama, so Counslor Case said that she could. Emma was stuck tutoring the twin boys. (Jason and Mason.) Payton thought she was going to be on the stage performing, but really that's not what Counslor Case meant. Instead, Payton had to work in this dusty room that hasn't been cleaned for YEARS!!! When Emma starts to tutor the boys, her "friend" ox comes by. I think that they like eachother. So, when the day of the play, Sydney was Glinda in the WIZARD OF OZ, and when she was floating in this magic balloon, she twisted her ankle because she was wearing heels. So, since Payton was the only one who knew the lines, she took Sydney's place, and had an amazing play. Im not going to spoil the ending, so I think you should read it!! It was OUTSTANDING!!!

8:30 pm March 8.Ben-Emily is the book Secret Letters 1-10? 4:38:pm March 10:Ben-Emily is the Book Secret Letters 11-20?

__**Emily- March 8, 2010- Clues 1. The main character is named Ernest 2. Victoria is a new girl at school 3. Ernest doesnt do anything at all really 4. Victoria has a lot of kids in her family 5. A lot of people like Ernest Guess what book i'm reading!! It is very good!!! That's it for this week!! Emily out! :)!!!!! **__

Entry 8- Emily, March 5, 2010- In the second chapter, I was reading and it was funny how people put cookies on Ernest's desk, but Ernest never tried one, and doesnt eat them!! It seems like since he gets a lot of love notes, and candy that people like him, and he just doesnt talk or do anything really. It also said he sat on the bench during recess and read!!! I think that when Victoria came into the class, Ernest sort of started to like her!!! Cause and Effect:Ernest was sad, but then when Victoria came, he was happy!!!!! That's all for now, keep you posted!!! BYE!!

Entry 7- Emily, March 4, 2010- Alix and I started a new book called **__Secret Letters 1-10__**. I think it is so good so far. I thought it was sad that Ernest doesnt have any friends, and he has no one to play with ever, besides his grandma that does nothing. It was really interesting when they found the letter, but nobody could read it, because it was in a different language! Keep you posted!!! Bye!

Entry 6- Emily, February 26, 2010- I think it was very funny that old frost hasnt noticed alice/pup!!! I wonder how they decided to call Alice, Pup. It is a very good book. But i still dont understand why Queen Elisabeth wanted Alice's dad to be dead. It is mean, and even though I like queen Elisabeth, I dont like her in the story!!!!! It is a very good singing chorus group! I like how Alice liked the porridge snack very good that when lady came home from getting the grocerys, she hid in the closet eating her soup!!! I will keep you more posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Emily In!!! yaaaaa!!!

Entry 5- Emily, February 24, 2010- Alix, so i finished reading chapter 2, it was so sad. I now know why the book is called, __A Murder for Her Majesty.__ Now it all makes sense. The queen wanted Alice's dad to be dead. So when he was on his horse going to see the queen that's when he got shot by one of the men who were bringing him to the queen. That is very sad. I thought it was funny, that the boys called Alice, Pup. The boys also wanted to trick "old frost." By making Alice a boy, so she would sing in the chorus for as long as old frost would not notice her. Starting chapter 3. I will keep you posted. "Emily in!!!"

Entry 4- Emily, February 17, 2010- Hey everybody!! Alix and I, started a new book today! It looks very good. It is called, __A Murder for Her Majesty.__ So, I read the first page, and that's when i started wondering something. I wonder if Alice is poor. Because, she always goes to the Cathedral and asking the nice old lady, where food and shelter is. I'm going to keep reading, i just wanted to write that before i forget. As I read, I will post more. Oh, it was sort of funny, when she heard voices, and then someone ran into her! I thought it was sweet, after Geoffrey knocked her down, he said he would give her food! Wasn't that sweet Alix?? Did you find the simile, it said you are as wet as a rat in a rain barrel. I will keep you posted later. Ok now it is later. So i was reading some more, and there was another simile i spotted. So do you think that the woman who grabbed Geoffrey from the ear is mean?? I think she is very mean. It was funny that Alice was sleeping on the chair and they covered her so the lady wouldnt see her. I finished the chapter, when Alice just went to sleep. How many chapters should we read tomorrow. Talk to me at school!! Emily out!!!

Entry 3- Emily, February 10, 2010- Alix, I was so upset when I read how they were treating the black people! It was so mean, how everytime that the bus came by, they splashed the black kids with Mud! Then, Lil Man, Christopher- John, T.J, and more, how they made a plan during recess and lunch, and they made a ditch in the rode, and rocks over the mud so the bus wouldnt splash them, but then the bus got stuck in the ditch, and the white kids wont have to take the bus, and the black kids wouldnt get splashed because the bus wont be fixed for 2-3 weeks, so thats good! Alix, I cant believe you thought that was funny! It's so mean! Well anyways, do you like the book so far. I didnt like it at first, but now I love it!

Entry 2 Emily, February 3, 10- Alix, I totally agree with how they treated the black people. I just finished chapter 2, it was good also, but i was looking back, through chapter 1, and i noticed something I am going to talk about in this Entry! There was a graph and it showed kids, and it showed the color of their skin, chronological issuance, date of issuance, and the condition of the book! It was sad because lil man, when he opened the cover of the book, it said for the skin, white, white, white, white, and a little bit more down it said black! And then he was number 12, and his condition of the book was very poor! It is so sad how back then, that is how they treated african americans!

Entry 1 Emily, January 31, 10- I am reading __**Roll of Thunder, Here my Cry**__, with Alix!! It is an aweome book! It is a little bit confusing though! We didn't get so far, we only read the first chapter, but the book is pretty good!! My favorite part in the book is when Cassie asked Papa "Why is the land so important?" Then Papa said " All that belongs to you! You ain't never had to live on somebody's place, but your own. And as long as I'm alive and the family survives, you will never have to. That's important. You may not understand now, But one day you will, and then you will see." What was your favorite part Alix???? And how do you think the book is so far???

Carly- Well that sounds like a REALLY good book. I think I'll go check it out in the library!

Emily-January 21, 2010- I am still reading the Mysterious Benedict Society!!! It is such a good book. You get so pulled into the book!!! Sticky, Reynie and Kate are on the next test!!! This time you had to listen when the director was saying something, because it had to do with the maze they were going in. First it was Reynies turn. He went through the maze, but he didn't know it was a maze so he walked through the door, and he was in the exact same room!!!! He was listening to the director telling directions and so he knew what to do in the maze it took him 6 minutes the first time and 3 the second time. When he got to the top he rang the bell, dingalingaling!!!!! BING, BING WENT THE BELL!!! It was as loud as a speaker on the highest volume. Then it was Kate's turn, she made it through, but she only had to go once because she finished it so quickly! There went the bell again!!! DINGALINGALING!! So now Reynie wasn't lonely. Now, all they were waiting for was Sticky to come through the maze. It took him 20 minutes just to get through the maze. He probably wasn't listening to the directions!! Then after they all made it through the maze, they had dinner! YUM YUM YUM YELLED Kate. After dinner, Mr. Benedict was coming over to talk to them!!!!! I just got to the part where he talks to them!! I will keep updating you about this FABULOUS book!!

Emily-January 14- I am reading a new book. It's called The Mysterious Benedict Society. The two main characters to me, are Sticky, and Reynie. I think my brother, Brett is like Reynie because they are both really intelligent, and they try any challenge that comes to them. I think Sticky is like my brother's friend, ross, because he tries everything just like Sticky does. He also does different things than anyone else. He takes things the harder way, rather than the easy way. Well, that's my blog for the week!!!! Bye!!!

Emily-January 5, 10- Here are my clues :) 1. The main character is named Dorthy 2. They lived in Kansas and there was in a tornado and ended up in Munchkin land 3. Wicked Witch of the west, is the bad witch 4. The great land of Oz 5. The dogs name is Toto 6. There is a good witch 7. Dorthy has the ruby red Slippers.

Carly-That book sounds really good. I wonder what will happen next!


 * // Emily, December 16- I am reading a book called Change Up. It's about these kids. They are reporters for different Newspapers. When there is a team playing they go to see the games. When the Washington Nationals were playing they went to the game. It was such an exciting game. The Nationals won and they were going to the world series. After the game, the news reporters were going to the Nationals club house. The boy see's someone who was on the team but has never seen before or playing in games. They started to talk, and then they introduce their selves. Then number 55 says why he hasnt been playing, well that's because he was on the roster for the spring. I really didn't get that far. That's about all I got up to. Bye!!

12/10/09-Erin- I think the book sounds good. I wonder if it will be better than the movie. I saw the movie, it was good.

11/10/09 Jacob- I saw the movie The Blind Side. It was great! Your doing a great job!

Emily-December 10- I am reading The Blind side. I know i already saw the movie, but everyone says books are better than movies. I had the book at my house anyways so I just started to read it. Soo... the characters are the mom (who adopts the son) Michael ( the adopted one) a.ka. Big mike, the dad and the sister and the hilarious brother. Umm... Well I am not far at all in the book. What happens so far in the book is well, they are talking about 2 teams that are playing eachother. Then a coach of a team see's Big Mike playing basketball and his friend are playing basketball and then the coach notices his skill. That's all I really got up to because 1 whole chapter (with a lot of pages) was only talking about football and some of the plays.

Sarah W. (from the other class) That does sound like a good book and I have never heard of Luv Ya Bunches... But, now you told be about it and bow I do know about it!! Thank you! Also, did you finish the Wizard of oz?? It would be hard to be Dorthy but when I was 4 I was Dorthy for Halloween! I love Todo too. What is you favorite main character??//**

Ava- It sounds like a great book!! I think I'm gonna read it next!!

12-2-09, Tali- Hi Emily!! Wizard of Oz sounds like a great book! Every Halloween I would be Dorthy! I really want to read that book! I like what you wrote about wizard of oz!!! Good Job Emily!!!!

Dec/3/09 Kenzie- I've been wanting to read **luv ya bunches** so badly! Mostly because of all the comments you have been writing about it!

Alix 12/1- i love the wizard of oz!! I've never read the book, but I probably should because I always think the books are better than the movies.You made a great comment!! Good job Emily!!

December 2, 2009- I am finally done reading, Luv ya Bunches. I have been telling you a lot about what has happened in the story. Ummmm... Well Katie Rose, (the 1 who likes cameras,) was video taping all the kids in the grade when they were doing the greek project. After that pull Milla into the computer lab and ask her to join a website that Yasmin made up. She said she would join the website, but not to tell anyone. What happens next that I haven't told you about yet is....... in Katie Rose's class they are doing a Potato race. First up is Medilla the mean girl. Not Milla, but Medilla. Violet the new girl who is Medilla's friend bumps into Milla and she loses her tally the turtle that givies her good luck. They put it in Katie Rose's backpack and when it comes up to Katie roses turn, Medilla puts in the tally the turtle and tells everyone that Katie Rose took it. I don't want to spoil the rest of the story because something comes up in the end. it is a really good book though.

November 17, 2009- I am reading Wizard of Oz. It is outstanding book!!!! It is about a family, Dorthy, Aunt Em, The uncle, and toto the dog. They live in Kansas and there are a lot of Twisters in Kansas. One day there is a twister and Toto runs out of the house, but Aunt Em and the Uncle go into the basement, while Dorthy goes outside to find Toto. When Dorthy tries to run into the house, the twister starts spinning the house and Dorthy see's all different kinds of animations through her window. When the house finally lands on the ground, Dorthy and Toto land in Munchkin land. While Toto and Dorthy are in munchkin land, they meet the Good Witch of the East. (Linda.) So Dorthy and Linda are talking about some stuff, and then they start talking about the Wicked Witch of the West. Then Dorthy says "Well at least I didn't hurt someone when my house crashed down." Then Linda said "Well you crashed down on the Wicked Witch of the West." "Oh No," cried Dorthy, but there they were, right under the house, the.................. Ruby Slippers!!! That's all I got to! It's an awesome book and you should read it!!!

SAm-12/9/09-I saw the movie which was good but I never knew about there being a book I should get it thanks for letting me know.
