==My advice for the forth graders are always to get your homework done and on time, listen to the teacher, all get a good grade on everything, be prepared for a lot of homework! DON'T GET A LOT OOPS SLIPS! learn a lot before you get into middle school, always try to do your best in every subject you have in fifth grade, all of the teachers are awesome! Also HAVE FUN IN FIFTH GRADE! ==

Thats all of my advice for the forth graders and I hope it helps them before fifth grade!
**Maddie 5/26/11** I agree with you that Jemma Hartman Camper Extraordinaire would stand out the most. I have the same case with Harry Potter. =Kayla 5.26.11= I think Jemma Hartman Camper extraordinaire stands out in my memory because I have been writing about it a lot when I do my wiki entires and I say more things about it and put more detail in it then the others and when I finished the book I was very happy about finishing it. I also wrote about the book for my first wiki entire. The wiki entire that meant most to me is Soul Surfer because since I have seen the movie it really is easy to explain about rather the other books and it is a story that I would never forget about.

**Kayla 5.25.11** You are right Giuliana!!! And the answer is number 1 is a lie! =Giuliana 5\22\11= I never seen the movie but 6 brothers seem kinda normal to me and I know it was her **arm** that got bitten off not hand so I'm going to have to say number 1 is the lie. =**Kayla 5.20.11**= Here are my two truths and a lie. 1. She got her hand bitten off by a shark 2. She has 2 brothers 3. She loves to compete in surfing compositions. I will post the answer on the 22nd! Good luck on guessing my two truths and a lie!
 * For my free choice week I am going to do two truths and a lie from the movie Soul Surfer. If you hadn't seen it just try to guess.**

What I love about Google docs is that you get to choose what kind of presentation you get would get to do like you can create a new doc or a new presentation and we also get to share what we want. = = =Kayla 5.15.11= Yes I LOVED the movie and thank you for your thoughtful comment Giuliana! =Giuliana 5\15\11= Kayla, I want to see that movie so bad, but I don't think I need to because on how well you explained it! Did you like the movie? = = =Kayla 5.12.11= Thank you Mr.Shaw for your thoughtful comment! =Mr. Shaw 5.11.11= Yes, I heard about that movie, Kayla, but I haven't seen it. It sounds like a good story. = = =Kayla 5.11.11= I am doing a movie for my wiki entry. This movie is based on a true story which happen to a real girl. This movie is called Soul Surfer. This movie is about a girl named Bethany Hamilton. Bethany Hamilton is a girl who lost her arm to a shark one day when she, her friend, her brother,and her friends dad was surfing. Her arm was in the water and a shark just grabbed her arm when she didn't know it. She lost 60% of her blood! Thats whats a amazing about Soul Surfer. When she was in the emergency room her heart stop beating since she lost all that blood. In the middle of the movie she wanted to surf again so her friend and dad helped her reach that goal.Then they caught the shark who bit her arm off and how they knew it was the one the people called Bethany's dad to come and bring the board with the shark bit and see if it fits perfectly with the board. It did so that meant that they caught the right shark so know one worries about the shark anymore.When Bethany said that she still wanted to surf even though she had lost one arm.So her dad created a surf board that had a handle on it when she competed. Then she went to I forgot the name of it but she went to this country that just had a sunomey there. They where going to help them get there place country looking better again. When Bethany talked to this woman we had lost everyone in her family and no one was left to talk to and she felt so lonely. So when Bethany heard about that she knew that she was not the only person who was in need beside herself. At the end of the movie she became a really good surfer and in real life she became a pro surfer in Hawaii. What I thought was amazing was that she lost 60% of her blood and lived because normally people don't live through a shark attack when you would lose 60% of your blood. =Kayla 5.8.11= =Well I am reading the Genius Files and what the book is about is about these two kids whos names are Coke and Pepsi also known as the Mcdonald kids.In the beging of the book there are these kids named Coke and Pepsi. Well there are these men who are on golf carts in black shuits. The men where trying to kill Coke and Pepsi. There was this women who was in a red shuit she was a good person who was trying to save their lives. But the three men shot her in the neck and killed her. So when she got shout Coke yelled to Pepsi " I have to push you of the cluif if you want us to live". Then they both fell and they survied because there was this hellacopter that picked them up. Now I am just going to skip to the middle of the book cause I am there still. So in the middle The two kids went back to school like any other kid but theres going to be more things happening to them as I try to finish the book. So long for now.= =Kayla 5.6.11= Well Joni the answer to your question is that everyone stopped slavery. GOOD QUESTION Joni! =Joni 5.4.11= Once slavery was outlawed did everyone follow that rule right away or did it take some time before evreyone officially stopped owning slaves?

=Kayla 4.29.11= =My topic is Major Civil War events. The cause of the civil war was the differences between the North and the South because the South wanted slavery but the North did not want slavery. Everyone had to decide which side to go on before the civil war. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 which could free all slaves.= =Slavery was outlawed in every state in 1865 and that is how the war ended.=

**Lily 4.23.11.**
 * nice, a long coment. You put in lots of details at the end. The book sound really good!**

**Kayla 4.23.11**

 * I finally finished my book Jemma Hartman. So I am going to tell you about what happened through the whole story. So in the begging I it was about a girl named Jemma who was going to Camp Star Lake with her best friend named Tammy. So Tammy has a cousin named Brooke. Brooke is coming with Tammy to Camp Star Lake also know as (CSL). This was going to be Jemma's first summer with Tammy. But Tammy never told Jemme about Brooke who is coming with her to camp. And when everyone was saying goodbye to their children Tammy meet up with Jemma and they both gave each other a big hug. So when Tammy says "You know my cousin Brooke"? well she is coming to camp with us and isn't that great"? So Jemma just said huh because she thought that her and Tammy where only going to spend time with each other. But the hardest part about being with Brooke was that Jemma had to share Tammy which she did not like at all. In the middle Tammy and Brooke where spending more time together then Jemma. That made Jemma really mad and even JEALOUS! At the of the story there was this camp relay which is where there had to be too people in one bough and there was this girl name Delaney. Delaney wanted to be Jemma's partner for the bough race, but Jemma said no because she thought that she was going to be partners with Tammy. But Tammy was already partners with Brooke. So Jemma had to say sorry to Delaney and asked her to be her bough partner and Delaney forgave her and said yes. What you had to do in the bough race is everyone and their partners had to bough around the whole camp. In the middle of the race there was a conflict. The conflict was that when Tammy and Brooke where half way to the finish line Tammy and Brooke got stuck and Brooke cut her head. And was bleeding. So what Jemma did since Delaney and her where so close to them Jemma swam over to help and told Delaney to finish the race. But Delaney said "I can't do it without you". But Jemma said you can I am a good swimmer and I can get to them easily and they where not far. So Delaney said okay and Jemma swam to Tammy and Brooke to help them out. When Nancy came she help Brooke to get into her boat and she would take her to the nurse and Nancy said to them is finish the race and Brooke will be alright. At the end Delaney got in first place. So I thought that it was a happy ending. **

Kayla 4.15.11
I am know tr﻿ying too finish Jemma Hartman Camper extraordinaire. So my cause and effect is well Jemma and all her friends are going on a camping trip in the woods. So Jemma has this cousin named Brooke. Well my cause is that she gets sick two days before the trip. So the effect to that is that she can't go on the trip which is really disappointing to her. In the story there really isn't any cause and effect that leads to more than one effect.

Giuliana 4\4\11
Kayla, I think you make a really good point that you don't have to be a hero for others and that you also can be a hero for yourself! Great job.

Kayla 3.24.11 I have finished this book but the person who is my hero is Jenna and the book Jenna is in is My Last Best Friend. The reason why I picked her is because she stands up for herself and she doesn't let anyone judge her by the way she is. Her traits that I admire are first she likes to draw because in the story they are having a patado fashion show and she draws patado pirates on a ship,she likes to read and in the story she reads a book, and she doesn't let anyone bother her about anything because in the book theres this mean girl who is always mean to everyone so Jenna just stands up to her.Those are my three traits that I admire about Jenna.

Joni 3.22.11 I think that the character is Abby from Earthquake Terror.

Giuliana 3/19/11
Earthquake Terror!

Kayla 3.19.11
For my wiki entrie this week I am going to make a game. The game is guess that character and book. Here are some clues. Hope you can guess my book!! Good luck!!
 * 1) Mr.Shaw has read it before to us
 * 2) I think it was the first book he read to us
 * 3) She walks with kind of a cane
 * 4) She has a brother
 * 5) Her brother is older then her
 * 6) They are living on their own in a forest
 * 7) My last clue is there was bad weather

**Giuliana 3\12\11 **

 * I love how you wrote a lot more the second time and how you kept the same characters, good job. **

Kayla 3.8.11
I am still reading My Last Best friend. I will keep my other characters from last week which was Ida and Jenna because they are the important charters in the book. Ida and Jenna's similarities are that they always try to be better then each other and the differences between Ida and Jenna are that Jenna is more of a person that you only like because they are rich and Ida is just the person that you would like as a real friend but not pretending to be. Ida and Jenna are alike because they both have moms that participates school things like fundraising for the school. The author said that they don't get along together. Ida and Jenna are different because Jenna is really mean and she keeps wining everything that Ida wants and Ida is different because Ida is really much more nicer then Jenna because Ida doesn't lead a group with a lot of people and she also is having this conversation bye letter and Ida knows who it is but the girl doesn't know who Ida is but the person that she keeps writing letters to Ida is Stacey but Stacey doesn't know that it is Ida. They also have this hidden rock where Ida and Stacey put their letters in and then who ever writes the letter to her then the other person goes to that rock.

Kayla 3.3.11 I am now reading my Last Best Friend. My two important characters are Ida and Jenna. Ida and Jenna are different because Ida is much nicer then Jenna because, when Jenna has a sleepover she threated Ida that she would tell everyone that she peed in her pants at her sleepover. Well Ida and Jenna really don't have anything alike.

Kayla 2.27.11 I am still reading Nancy Drew and the ghost of the Blackwood hall. In the story Nancy got out of the blackwood hall but in the house there is this ghost who was playing the organ and some how the ghost was able to escape before anyone could see it. At the second to last chapter there is this guy who is named Brex. Berx caught Nancy while she was in the blackwood hall. Brex said to Nancy is "You made enough trouble". Which means that she first uncovered the ghost. In the middle of the story there was a boy named Jonathan. Nancy said that "Jonathan's ghost still is there from this day".

Kayla 2.17.11
The author that I really love is Carolyn Keene because she writes mystery books and one of them is Nancy Drew and the Ghost of the Blackwood Hall. Author reason why I like her because I love reading mystery books and she gets you so interested in the book that you cant put down. I also like when you try to guess what happens next after you are done reading. I have a connection and it is well there is this movie on Nick witch is also a mystery movie too. The reason why I like it is because every episode they make you keep guess about what is going to happen in the next episode to and they also have a ending to it where the mystery is solved to.

**Kayla 2.7.11**
My book compares because in both of them they are having a war and one of the charters has to move to one city and stays with a family for a little while. The ways that they are alike is that they are both having a war going on in their country. They are both different is that in ﻿Tolivers secret there is this girl named Ellen who dresses up as a boy but in Jacobs Rescue he is a real boy. The setting in both story's is that they are both in a house with people they don't know. There is really no plot. The them is George Washington.

**cameron 2.7.11** I am not in a novel group but this book seems really good and interesting and nice job explaming the book.

Kayla 2.4.11 In my novel group I we are reading Tolivers secret.  Its about a girl who is living with her grandfather because her dad died. So it is also about a girl named Ellen. Ellen has to go undercover to deliver a secret message to George Washington. The letter is hidden in the beard and Ellen would have to pretend that she is a boy. So she barrows her brothers cloths to wear as a boy. The she had to cut her hair short. But she is putting her grandfather in danger because if someone saw the note he would be hanged! So she gets on a boat to go to Elizabeth town. What happens next well you will find out more when I read the book more. ** (3 HP) **

Lily 1.23.11 i also think that sounds cool!

Sydney 1.19.11 WOW! Kayla that book seems SO good I hope you enjoy the rest.

Kayla 1.19.11  Right know I am reading Nancy Drew the clue of the Black Keys. Nancy drew the clue of the Black Keys is about well Nancy has a partner who's name is Terry. Someone has tried to steal the back key. In the beginning there was this guy named Tino. Tino is a theft because he stole the black key. Then when Nancy saw him she said"stop! Next she try's to run after him. After that she was making a map to were the key treasure is. Finally she got the man.

Kayla 1.12.11 I have changed and grown by reading more books faster and finishing them more earlier because I have been reading an hour every not know. What I feel about reading is its joyful and relaxing because you can make a picture in your mind or a movie in your head. I think the book I Jack because I love dogs and its about a dog named Jack who I think is a lamb dog. I don't really know whats going to be on my future list but I think if I read the back of it I might like it or not.

Kayla 1.6.11
 * I am reading The Wizard of OZ. The Wizard of OZ is about a girl named Dorothy and as you all know there was a tornado.When the** **house was spining around and when the house falls on the wicked witch of the west and,landed in the world of munchkins. All the munchkins thanked her. Dorothy's conflict is that she can't go home to Kansas unless she has to see the great OZ in the Emerald city. But when she was following the yellow brick rode she saw the scaregrow who said"can you please help me?" and Dorothy said yes and he said I think "where are you going and she said "to the Emerald city to the great Oz to ask him to send me home to Kansas".The scaregrow followed Dorothy because he wanted to have a brain. Then when they were walking along the yellow brick rode they found the tinman. The tinman said I think "where are you both going and they said"well I am going to the Emerald to ask the great OZ to send me home and I am going to ask him for a brain". Then the tinman asked can I go with you guys and they said yes. So the tinman said that he wanted a heart. So when they finally got there they saw some flowers that make you fall into a deep sleep and if you don't get out of the flowers you whould be like that forever and not wake up. So the tinman and the scaregrow saved Dorothy and the Lion. When they got in front of the door to the Emerald city there was this guy who was all dreased in green. The Lion,the tinman,the scaregrow and, Dorothy all had to wear green and green glass so they would not blind their eyes. When Dorothy came to see the great OZ she asked him can you please send me back to Kansas? He said"well if I am going toi do something for you,you have to kill the wicked witch and birng me proof that she is dead". So when Dorothy came out she was crying because said that she will never see aunt Em agin. But she the witch when she through the buket of water on her and that was the end of her and I am still reading the book if you guys were woundering.**

Kayla, don't forget to tell which book these clues are for.
 * Kayla 12.16.10**
 * I would like to give** Julia Gillian and (the quest for Joy) to Molly. Its a very interesting book with two characters who are very clever especially Julia Gillan,who is kind of not afarid of anything. She has a friend who is a boy and she lies about making her own luchs because her friend name Bonwit is now making his own lunchs and she also feels like she and Bonwit is just school friends now and that they are not best friends anymore. I think Molly would really enjoy this boo,thats why I gave this book to Molly.
 * Kayla 12.13.10**

 * 1) **He does not miss the janitor**
 * 2) **He trys his hardist.**
 * 3) **He has a girl who is his best friend.**
 * Good luck on trying to figure out wich one is a lie!**

I read this book and I know it is the Janitor's Boy.
 * Giuliana 12.5.10**

Kayla 12.4.10 Sorry that there are so many clues!

Chloe 12.3.10 Is the book The Janitors Boy

First of all, you have so many clues! Second of all, I have no clue what the answer is!

 * It's on the Booklist.

Thats all the clues I am going to give you so hope anyone can figure out my book! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Lily 11.20.10 Good job discrideing nora! That book sounds good.

Terrific job describing Nick. I think it is cool that he likes making new words. Who wrote Frindle? Are there any other words he made up?
 * Kayla 11-19-10**
 * I am know reading the Report Card. The** character I chose is named Nora. One of my character's trait is that she is happy when she gets bad grades but in all the subjectis he got a D excacpt on spelling. On spelling he got a C. Aunthor trait about Nora is that she has this friend who wants to see his report card but Nora doesn't want to show it to her and then she gets really mad. The last trait is the she is is also on and off about his grades like sould he be proud of what is gets or not proud. The one importanat motive is well it really doesn't say what his important motive is. Nora wants to have good grades. Her thoughts and actions tells me that she is not a responsible kid and she doesn't try hard to get awsome grades.
 * Liam 11/16/10**

Lexi 11/14/10 I never new Frindle means pen. Great describing Nick and his actions.

Kayla 11-11-10 I am know reading the book **__Frindle.__ The** character I chose is Nick. Nick made a new word called frindle Nick has red hair and I think brown eyes. Frindle means a pen. Nicks traits is that he likes to be crative like makeing up new words like he made up the word frindle. Nick doesn't want to be anything really.His thoughts and actions tell me that he is a creative boy. Some examples about the book is well the main character is Nick and I the book can pretty much relate to are class because the book takes place in a classroom. Then at the end the word frindle gets published the dicsanary.

Danielle 11/4/10 Good job explaining Your favorite character(Family). I have never read Jacobs Rescue but it sounds like a great book.

Maddie 11/4/10 The book sounds really sad. I read NUMBER THE STARS not JACOBS RESCUE. But the book sounds really good.

Chloe 11/3/10 I didn't read Jacobs Rescue but it sounds like a good book and you did a good job describing it. Have you ever read Number the stars?

Kayla 11-3-10 I read Jacobs Rescue. The character I admire is the well it kind of is a character but the Roslan famliy I admire the most because The Roslans risked their lives and even their kid lives to kept Jacob and his brother named David and his little sister,but I forgot what her name is. Here is what I connected from the book to the museum is there was this one women who was just like the Rslans but she saved 60 kids from the Nazis and also risked her life of being killed by the Nazis. Other thing I could connect is in the book their was dead people lying on the streets and when the war was going on thier was also dead people lying on the streets to.

Liam 11/3/10

The Old Willis Place is a very good book, and I like your opinions about it.

Kayla 10-30-10 My scarey story I have read is The Old Willis Place By Mary Dowing Hahn <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The reason why it is the scareyist story I have read is because their are 2 kids. One is a boy and one is a girl. They both died in this old ladys celler with no food,water,and sunlight. I learned that everybody has to have sunlight to live. There was a happy ending but I can not rember it because I read it in 4th garde and I have a bad memory. I was so happy that it had a happy ending because I like happy endings and sad ending's but I wanted it to have a happy ending in the story and it did.

Lily 10/25/10 hi! i like the 2 books you are reading. good job!

Wow, it's tough to compare such different books, but you found a way. Good thinking! I'd like to know a little more about each enemy.
 * Mr. Shaw 10.25.10**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I read I Jack. I am going to compare Jack the dog and Alex becuase they both care for their family's saftly. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The conflict in both of the stories is that they both have is an enimey. Their enimey in I Jack is their is this one dog who Jack the dog is afarid to go near and in the book Jacobs Rescue, their enimey is the Nazi's. The setting takes palce in a back of a building or in back of a house. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is no conflict and resolution.
 * Kayla 10-23-10**
 * My holocaust book** is __**Jacobs Rescue**__.

I am know reading __**Jacobs Rescue**__. The character I picked is Jacob. Jacob look's like he has curly brown hair with brown eyes and I think he is 9 or 10. Jacob act's like he is indepentend. I think he loves school but he is pretty sad that he can't go to school. Jacob does pretty much anything to see his brother's and I think he has sister's to. Jacob's problems is that he is a jew and that is a problem for him when he was little because the Nazi's hated jews and he also looks like a jew so if he went outside the Nazi's would know right away with out even looking at him very carefully. I think Jacob is a really nice boy who never get's into trouble and alway's does the right thing.
 * Kayla 10-16-10**

I like your effort, Kayla, but I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Please read your entry carefully and see if it makes sense.
 * Mr. Shaw 10.10.10**

Kayla 10-6-10 The book I am still reading is **__Judy Moody was in a mood.Not a good mood.__** The main character is Judy. Judy is 10 years old and has a younger brother named Stink. Judy looks like she just got out of bed when she go's to school and her hair is sometimes mess y. Judy act's like she does not care what other people do or say,she just walk's away or say's something mean when she is jealous of someone. Judy does porbly does anything she can. Judy's problem is that she can't get out of her bad,so she just stays in a bad mood. I think of Judy as being a kid who would never get out of a bad mood and not really a happy kid,like a sad kid maybe or a moody kid.

Why is Judy always in a bad mood?
 * Giuliana 10/3/10**

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">__Judy Moody was in a mood.Not a good mood. A Bad mood__. <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Judy Moody is about a girl named Judy. Judy is always in a bad mood and even people can tell that she is in a bad mood and her parents can even tell that she is in a bad mood to. Judy is going into the 3rd grade. Judy hates going to the frist day of school because she is worried about sitting in the front row. Because she does not get to pass letters down to her best friend Rocky. I like this book because it doesn't tell you that Judy is in a bad mood. You would have to find words that tell's you if she is in a bad mood or if she is in a good mood.
 * Kayla 10-2-10**
 * I am know reading**

Cool I might really want to read.
 * Giuliana 9/25/10**

Lily 9/22/10 Awesome job describing //The City of Ember.// It sounds like a really good book. I to read it.

Kayla 9/21/10 I am reading a new book called <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">__The City of Ember__ By Jeanne Duprau. The City of Ember is about one little city that is very poor town because only at nine pm to six am they turn off the lights and it seems like you have your closed but you really did not. The setting is in a classroom. In the city of Ember there is a school. The school is picking new jobs for the city and they have to keep their jops for 3 years because the mayor camp into their class and said that "all students have to pick a job out of my hat". So the mayor asked "does anyone want to be first?" So there was this one girl named Lizzie. Lizzie raised her hand and the mayor picked her. She pulled out what job she wanted to get. Lizzie got a job that she did not like but she had to keep it for 3 years no mater what. I am know going to tell you a little about the character's. The first character I am going to tell you about is Lina Mayfleet. Lina Mayfleet got the worst jop out of any jop and her joop is pipeworker and that means that she has to go under ground and clean out the pipes. Lina really wanted is to be messger because she likes to run,she could run forever if she wanted to. But the person who got the jop she wanted is named Doon Harrow. Don Harrow got the jop that Lina wanted and it was messger. Doon hated that jop and a couple days later he asked Linda if she wanted to switch jobs because he likes being underground and he hates running.I am next going to tell some plot events.One plot event is that every single person in the entire class has to pick a job and has to have it for 3 years.The second plot event is that almost everyone got a job that they did not like.


 * Mr. Shaw 9.21.10**
 * Jemma Hartman** sounds like a fun book to read, especially if you go to camp in the summer. Thanks for describing the characters and the conflicts. One thing that is missing is your opinion. What do you like (or not like) about this book? Why?

Giuliana 9/16/10You might want to explain more about Tammy!

Kayla 9/15/10 I am still reading <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">__**Jemma Hartman camper extraordinaire**__. The main characters are Jemma and Tammy. I am going to tell a little about Jemma and about her personality. The thing about Jemma is that she knows how to make friends and she is outgoing with people and she is good with making friends.

Now I am going to tell you a little bit about Tammy. Tammy has been Jemma's best friend for a long time and she is also outgoing just like Jemma. Tammy is kind of a kid that does not take your side a lot.Tammy also does not know how to make friends really well and Tammy is also kind of a shy kid.

I am know going to tell you two conflict's. One of my conflict's is that Tammy never told Jemma about Brooke coming to camp with Tammy. My second conflict is that Jemma and Brooke are fighting about who will be partners with Tammy sense Tammy is Jemma's best firend and Brooke is Tammy's cousion.

I really like this book becasue it about how to make friends at camp. My habits are that sometime's I read like sixty minutes or less like twenty minutes exact. I like to read chapter books that are like about thirty chapters long.

Giuliana 9/12/10Nice job I think i really want to read that book!

Kayla 9/11/10 <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">I am still reading the book Jemma Hartman and the conflict is that when Jemma came back to camp but Tammy Jemma's best friend did not tell her about Brooke coming to camp with her. My connection to Rope Burn and Jemma hartman is that Brooke Tammy's cusion is new to camp star lake and in Rope Burn Richard is the new kid in school.

Mr. Shaw 8/29/10 Well, you're off to a great start, Kayla! Lots of comments on this page already. (By the way, I got rid of some of the extra spaces between lines to make everything fit a little closer together.) Do you remember meeting Brenda Ferber last school year when she visited Sherwood? I think a lot of kids have been reading her books since then.

Joni 8/28/10- <span style="color: #ff00eb; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Why isn't Brooke nice to Jemma? What does Jemma like the most about camp if it says so? I would like to read that book because it is a realistic problem, characters, and setting. Maddie 8/28/10 I really want to read that book Kayla. It sounds so good what you typed.

Kayla 8/27/10 <span style="color: #0046ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hey everyone hope all of you are having a great time with the wiki I know I am! I can't wait until I see what all of you are reading!

I am reading Jemma Hartman camper extraordinaire by Brenda A. Ferber. The book is about a girl who's name is Jemma and she has a best friend named Tammy. They both go to this camp named Camp Star Lake for short CSL. When Jemma's best friend brought her cousin named Brooke to camp,Brooke does not like Jemma. But at the end Jemma tries to be friendly to Brooke. Brooke still does not like Jemma even if Jemma is trying so hard to be nice. The book is very interesting to me and I recommend it. I read when I have some free time or when it is night time and I also like to read fiction books. My reading habits are to read at least 20 minutes every day.

My favorite author is Brenda A. Ferber because she writes book's related to her childhood. I like to read chapter books

Your Fellow classmate, Kayla
