 * Jacob's reading comments for the 2010-11 school**

Kayla 6/9/11
Good ideas!!

Nice work, Jacob. I see five good ideas here, and some with explanations, so I am awarding your team nine house points!
 * Mr. Shaw 6.6.11**


 * Jacob 5/5/11 For this wiki entry I will give some advice to the fourth graders that are coming into fifth grade. First thing is you should not talk in class. If you do you might get into trouble. Next you should always bring in your homework in time. If you dont you will get a oops slip. Another thing is that all the teachers are nice. So it does not matter which teacher you get. And for your homework do not wait till the lat minute to do it. Or you will stress out about it. And the most important rule is to have fun.**

Will 5/31/11 Those books I have also heard are good.


 * Jacob 5/29/11 This year I have two books that really stood out to me the Big Nate Series and Chicken Treck. These books really stood out in my memory because I really enjoyed reading them and they were funny. These books also really meant a lot to me because they are the type of books that you can read over and over a gain and they are still really good. These books have a lot of comedy and heroes in them. I really think that anybody that reads these books would like them. So I think you should read them. So those are two books that really stood out to me when I read them.**

Zach 5.16.11 Cool story Jacob but what happened to the water bottle when Cornelios dropped it on the ground?
 * Jacob 5/22/11 Zach when the water bottle fell it broke. This week I am going to write part two of my story fron week. When the water bottle fell Cornelios fell to the ground and started crying. He said why did this have to happen to me. Wait said Cornelios he just remembered that there was one more way to bring back the water bottle. The one way was to go to the North Pole and yell so people in Japan can hear him. He had to yell go Kansa Jayhawks. So after one year he traveled to the North Pole and yelled as loud as he could but people in Japan couldnt hear him. So he went under the snow and found a microphone. He yelled into that and people heared him. So he got the bottle back and Cornelios was happy. The End.**

Ryan 5/15/11 Jacob that story was awesome! My favorite part was when he wished for a waffle.

Tyler 5.15.11 That is a very funny story! Great job!

Jacob 5/14/11 Since it is a free week I am going to make up a story. It was one day in a far away place something was happing. It was a person in a cave it was the cave of the lost water bottle. It was not just any water bottle it was a water bottle that could grant you every wish. So for years and years people have been trying to get it. It was one day when a brave soldier named Cornelios finally got the bottle. His first wish was to have a waffle. Yes just a regular waffle. After he made a couple more pointless wishes a bad guy came and stole the bottle. So he was really mad and he tried to get it back. He traveled for days and days to find him. Then one day he finally found him. They had a battle but Cornelious won. He got the bottle back. He was so happy that he dropped it on the ground. The End.

Jacob 5/8/11 I am in the middle of reading the book __A Whole Nother Story__. It is a really funny book and a lot of wierd things happen. Like I remember this part were some bad guys are driving and they run over a animal and it starts to attack them. I think that is one of the most funny parts in the book so far. Also another funny part iswere the kids get to change names. They make up funny names. They get to change names because bad people are chasing them and they dont want the bad guys to catch them. I think lots of kids in are grade would like to read this funny book. that is a little bit about the great book I am reading called __A Whole Nother Story.__

Will 5/8/11 I know about Harriet Tubman and that she helped a lot of slaves get through by the underground railroad.


 * Jacob 5/1/11 For my research project I am reaserching about spies i the Civil War. Some people I am researching are Harriet Tubman, Mary Elizibeth Bowser and Allan Pinkerton. Allan Pinkerton was a spy for the Union Army that had his agents work for the other side to spy on them. . That means they were pretending to work for the confederate side. He also stopped an assassination attempt on Abraham Lincoln in Baltimore Maryland. Those are some of the facts about my topic.**


 * Jacob 4/24/11 I am reading the book a** __**Whole Nother Story**__. **In th**
 * at book they run away from bad guys and that is going to be what my story is going to be about. It was one creepy nite in a haunted forest. It was a family of four. A mom a dad and two sons. They were walking around in a forest and some man poped out of a tree. The man said give me your special cookie. It was the most amayzing tasting cookie ever everybody wanted to have it. So when they went anywere they had to be in disguise and change there names.It was one day when the went to this small town and met a old man.The old ma was very wise and he knew everything. He said if you give me that cookie I will give you a magic waffle that will grant your every wish. So they took the trade. The magic waffle actually worked. They wished for everything they ever wanted. They got a manssion a limo and much more.After all of this they still were feeling that something was missing. It was the special cookie.They felt so lonley with out it. So they went back to the old man and said we want are special cookie back. The old man said no I will never give to back the special cookie I am a really mean old man. Fine we offered you back the waffle and you said no. So we will do the smart thing and just wish for the cookie back. So they did and they got the special cookie back. They were really happy until the man that was in the forest snuck into there house at nite and stole there cookie.They had to search for the man for over 10 years then they finally found him. The family said what did you do with the cookie. The man said I ate it. The family was amayzed. They said you are the smartest person we have ever met everybody else that wanted the cookie ran away with it. And you were the only smart one and you ate it. Thank you for doing that everybody started to get in are nurves. Thank you again. And everybody was happy exept for the cookie.**


 * Jacob 4/17/11 I am reading the book A Whole Nother Story. I think there is one really big cause and effect. I think the big cause and effect is that MR.Cheesman is building a new invention. The evention is called the LVR. That is the cause. There are a lot of effects and I will tell you some. One effect is that they always have to move and the kids can never make friends because they always have to move. Another effect that the kids like is that they get to change there names to whatever they want. another effect is that a lot of people chase them. Some people are Mr.5,Mr.29, Mr.88 and Mr.207. There is also Pavel and his monkey Leon. And that is a cause that has many differnt effects.**


 * Jacob 4/5/11 A hero from a book that I read is Pa. He is from the book War Comes to Willy Freeman. He is brave and he never gives up. He is brave because nothing scares him. He stood up to a lot of British soldires. He wasnt scared that the soldires could kill him. He was willing to take the consequences because he was a good person that fought for his country. He also never gives up. He knew from the start that the Americans would win the war. So he kept on trying. When things were not looking good he kept on trying. He even sacrificed his own life. These are some reasons on how Pa is heroic.**

Is the book __The Lightning Thief?__ If it is, I suggest that you keep reading the series.
 * Liam 3/20/11**
 * Jacob 3/20/11 Today I am going to play a game. The game is guess that book.**
 * 1. The main character fights a Minitor.**
 * 2. The main character fights one of his teachers.**
 * 3. The main characters friend is half donkey.**
 * Can you guess what book I am reading.**

Will 3/13/11 I like how you told us about how they look, and more of what there actions and what they do inside of them.

Tyler 3.13.11 This essay may make me read this book! There wasn't any author says but still a good essay.

Jacob, what's the title of this book? Can you think of ways that these two guys might be different, besides just the way they look? What about their personalities or the way they act?
 * Mr. Shaw 3.6.11**


 * Jacob 3/4/11 and 3/13/11 The two characters I am going to tell you about are Oog and Gluk. They are from the book The Advebture of Ook and Gluk Kung-Fu Fighting Cavemen From The Future. Here are some ways that they are alike. They are both kung-fu cavemen from the futer. Also they are both good guys. They are trying to stop the evil Goppernopper. They both have a dinosaur helping them fight** **Goppernopper.These two characters do almost everything the same.**
 * Here are some ways that they are differnt. They dont have the same name. The author sais that one has black hair and a afro and the other has bland hair and hair that sticks down. And those are some resons of how Ook and Gluk are alike and differnt.**
 * My favorite Dr.Suess book is Hop On Pop.**


 * Jacob 2/22/11 A book that I really liked was Chicken Treck. It is a book about eating chicken. THey go around the world to go and eat all of the chicken in a bags. They are trying to do this before a bad lady. She uses magic and trys to stop them. She turns one of them into chicken. I like this book because it is funny. To get to all of the places they travel in the pickle mobile.The pickle mobile could teleport. I also like this book because it is tense. There is so muck action what is going to happen to them. And they have to do this in a certain amount of days. If you like funny books you should really read this one.**

Good thinking, Jacob. You are the first to notice that both girls had to lie in order to avoid serious trouble. It's true that the settings are very different in time. What about place?
 * Mr. Shaw 2.16.11**

Jacob 2/13/11 These to books compare. The books that I read were War Comes To Willy Freeman And Number The Stars. These books are alike and very differnt. They are alike because they both have a hero.Willy and Animerie.They are also both girls that lie about something. Willy sais that she is a girl. And Animerie sais that Ellen is in her family. These books both take place in a war.But these books are also very differnt. The two girls are in very differnt places. One takes place in the Revolutionary War and the other is in World War 2. These are some reasons how these books are the same and very differnt.


 * Jacob 1/22/11 The book I am going to tell you about is The Adventurs of Ook and Gluk Kung Fu Fighting Cavemen From the Future. First in the book Ook and Gluk fight a dinosaur. Next Ook and Gluk mess withe chief goppernopper. Then they fight another dinosaur. They took the baby dinosaur with them. They named it Lily. Next they go through a time machine. Goppernopper builds a big robot. The big dinosaur beats it. Then Ook and Gluk learn kung fu for a couple of years. And then they beat Goppernopper.**


 * 1/1711 Jacob My reading has changed from the begining of the year. I think I have grown to be a better reader. I think I get the books I am reading better. I like to read sometimes. It depends what book I am reading. I have no favorite book but I have a favorite series. The Big Nate series. I like this series because it is funny. They all ways make funny jokes or do funny things. In the future I think I will read more funny books or just good books that other people like.**


 * Jacob 1/8/11 I am reading the book My Life As A Book. It is about a kid that really wants to have fun over the summer but he always has something to do. He wants to find out about a girl that had drown. He also wants to go on vacation with his friend but he cant. The place were his friends are going is where the girl had drown. He wants to go to find out more about the girl. Those are somethins that are happing in the book I am reading.**


 * Jacob 1/2/11 The first book I am talking about is big Nate. I think Jack would like it. It is a book about a kid that is very creative. he always goofs around at school. Another reason is Nate is kind of like Jack. They are both funny. The second book is I Jack. I think Willie would like it. It is about a dogs life. The dog always makes me laugh. He always talks about his life. And those are some books that people would like.**

Liam 12/16/10 Is number 3 a lie?


 * jacob 12.12.10 I am reading the book frindle. Here are some truths and lies about it.**
 * 1. Nick is none for asking a question at the last minute of school so they dont get homework.**
 * 2. Miss granger is the meanest teacher in school.**
 * 3.Nick does not ask questions at the last minute.**
 * And those are some truths and lies about the book that I am reading.**


 * Ryan 12/5/10**
 * Is it Captain Underpants by Dav Pikley?**

Is the book Captain Underpants? If so, have you read 2 through 8?
 * Liam 12/5/10**


 * Tyler 12.05.10**
 * The book is Captain Underpants.**


 * jacob 12.05.10 Here are some clues of the book that I read. First some people hypmotised the principal . When he hears somebody snap he turns into a super hero and fights bad guys. When somebodt poors water on his head he turns back to normal. here are some of the bad guys that he battles man eating toilets and lunch ladies from space. Can you figure out what this book is called.**

jacob 11/24/10 I am reading the book Big Nate and Big Nate 2. He ha a lot of traits and motives let me tell you some of them. One of his traits is goofing of at school once during science he pretended that he was batman. Another one of his traits is writing comics. Once on a project he wrote a comic and it got him a A+. He is also very humorous. He does all of this because he wants to surpass all others. His motive was that a fortune cookie told him that he is going to surpass all others. His thoughts and actions tell me that he is funny,kind,nice and he enjoys life.

Ryan11/22/10 Jack sounds kind of like blu (my dog) and I think he should try cake.

Jacob, can you give another example of how Jack is creative? I don't quite understand what you mean. Also, what are Jack's motives? What are his reasons for doing what he does?
 * Mr. Shaw 11.20.10**


 * Cameron 11.14.10**
 * You are right Giuliana jack seems like a fun character!!!! i have never read this book before.**

Jack sounds like a fun character!
 * Giuliana 11/14/10**


 * jacob 11/14/10 The character I pick is Jack from I Jack. He is a funny dog. He always wonders what everything is. He also wonders what all foods taste like. He is so creative because his pack always does things that he doesnt know what they are. Jack wants to marry Petra. When Jack goes on walkies (walks) he always smells dogs that go to the bathrooms messages. This tells you that he is very creative and curious. When ever a food falls down from the table he always wonders what it is.**

Molly 11/13/10 Great job describing Uncle Henrik. I agree what you said about him.


 * Tyler- 11/7/10**
 * Good job describing why you like Uncle Henrick! I thought it was funny when he said I hope they choke on it too.**


 * jacob 11/7/10 The book that I read was Number the stars. One of my favorite characters is Uncle Henrik. I like him because he is funny and brave. He saved the Rosens life. But he also makes funny jokes. Like when the soldires stole his bread he said I hope they choke on it. And he makes little jokes with Anemaries mom. Something at the musum that connects with book is the computers that asked us what would you do. Anemeries family didnt have to risk there life to save the Rosens. And that is my favorite character and something that connects with the book.**

jacob 10/28/10 One of my favorite books that I read is the Captain under Pants series. It is a funny book it is were two kids hypnotize there teacher and turned him into Captain Underpants. When ever somebody snaps he turns into captain underpants. When ever somebody poors water on his head he turns into the mean teacher. He fights evil monsters like man eating toilets and DR.poopypants. This is one of my favorite books because it is really funny. I think you should read this book if you like funny things.

I might want to read I Jack.
 * Giuliana 10.27.10**

Jacob 10/17/10 The bok I am reading is I Jack. The character I am going to tell you about is the pack leader. He is the dad. He looks big tall and hairy. He is a nice guy who is nice to his dog kids and others. A example is that he takes Jack on walkies. He works alot and does stuftf with his kids and Jack. I think he is a nice funny guy who you could trust.

Jacob, I am a big fan of Jack the dog! In fact, I read "I, Jack" to my class when in third grade. It is such a funny book, and I love how he goes looking for "messages" every chance he can. Just wondering...what do you mean when you say that Jack looks like a bland haired dog? Also, how many people are in Jack's "pack?"
 * Mr. Shaw 10.12.10**


 * 10/10/10/ Jacob I am reading a book called I Jack. A main charecter in the book is Jack the dog. He is a funny dog. He always goofs around. In the morning he is very hungry. He always eats all of his food. Sometimes he waits under the table to see if there is any bacon or other food. Jack loves going on walkies. Walkies are going on walks. Jack is in love withe a girl dog next door . He ia also in love with food. Jack looks like a bland haired dog that is very creative. Jack usly is goofy and nice around other people and dogs. But he gets really mad at a other dog. I think Jack is a very creative silly and goof dog.**

Liam 10/4/10

That was a very Rodrick-like part of the book. Have you read any of the other books? Keep reading, and you should find out that Rodrick should have been more careful of who to invite to his party, because sometime in-between Christmas and May, there is a twist to how Rodrick's party went.

10/3/10 Jacob Right know I am reading __**Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 2**__. Right know in the book they are cleaning up from a big party that Rodrick had.There parents left so Rodrick had a big party with a bunch of his friends.They are cleaning up so there parents dont find out that they had a party.Right before the party started Rodrick locked Graig in the basement. I think you should read this book if you like funny books. You should also read this book if you like to read short books.

Jacob 9/25/10 I am reading the book Diary Of a Wimpy Kid 2. It is a really funny book.I think it is a funny book because it always talks about the past.What I mean is that they always talk about the things that they did in the past to get to why they do things know.The main charecter is Greg.One of the main plot events are that his dad signs him up for swimming.I really am looking forward to read the rest of this book and the other books.

Liam 9/21/10

That sounds like a really good book. Do you know what the summer camp is called? How gross is the food?

Thanks for the update, Jacob. Please remember to put your name and date at the beginning of each entry (I've fixed the last two for you).
 * Mr. Shaw 9.21.10**

Jacob 9.19.10
 * The book I'm reading now is P.S. I Hate it Here. In this book there are a collection of letters written by campers that the author put together. Some of the letters are from campers who are happy, some are sad and some just want to ask therir parents to send them things. The main characters are campers that have written letters home to their parents. In the book there are many conflicts that the campers have. Some of these conflicts are gross food, being homesick, and campers not liking camp.**
 * I thought that the book was funny to read. Some of the letters were serious, but most were not. I hope that the author will write another book of great letters for me to read.**

Jacob 9.13.10 In the book I am reading **P.S I HATE IT HERE the conflict is the campers are home sick. Even though the campers are home sick they enjoy getting packages. The campers also enjoy meeting new people. The resolution in the book is that when they get packeges and meet new friends they forget about home.**
 * When I think about the Book Rope Burn threre are a few comparisions to the book P.S. I Hate It Here. Richard is at a new school and does not know anyone. He is upset that he does not have any new friends at his new school. When Richard makes a new friend it helps him feel better about missing his old friends. In the book I am reading, the campers feel better when they meet new people. It helps them forget about home and they feel better.**

Thanks, Jacob, for telling us about **Top Ten Ways...** and your reading habits (sorry to hear that you think reading is boring). You have earned 3 house points for your efforts!
 * Mr. Shaw 9.6.10**

Tyler 9/1/10 That book sounds really good and funny. Maybe I will read that book this year.

Jacob 8/31/10 The book I am readind now is The Top Ten Ways To Ruin The First Day Of 5th Grade. It is a really funny book wear this kid named tony does funny things that get's him in trouble at school. A example is he gets his foot stuck in the toilet. I like reading this book right before I go to bed.I read alot when the school yeay starts but not to much in the summer. I dont like reading to much because it is really boring. I like books that are funny and silly. I dont like nonfiction books they are boring to me. Also i dont have a favorite author. I like alot of diffrent authors. And I also dont have a favorite sieries. I like differnt kinds of seiries. Co
