Reading comments for the 2010-2011 school year!:)

Nice work, Danielle, but I had to change your color to something a little more readable. I see four good ideas here, so I am awarding your team four house points!
 * Mr. Shaw 6.6.11**

Danielle 6.5.11  This is my advise for the new fifth graders:  Always do your homework.  If you don't get any of the work you are doing ask the teacher.  Write neat or you might need to do it again.  Never ask for house points.

 **Joni 6.** **3.11** The book from your guessing game is **Stolen Children**.

My best reading experience of the year was reading **Girls, Drums, and, Dangerous Pies.** I think this for many reasons. One reason is because it teaches your that good people get diseases for know reason. This book is a great book but, it is very sad. The reason this book is so sad is because it is very hard to live with a kid who has leukemia especially if you are having money problems so they cant keep paying for jefferys room in the hospital. As you can see, this book is very sad but, good. Danielle 5.22.11 This week is another choice week so I am going to do a game. I am going to give you three clues. Then I will give you three choices of books to guess from, and you have to guess which book it is! 1. The main characters name is Amy 2. She is a babysitter 3. Two men take Amy and Kendra to a cabin in the woods. The book choices are **Stolen Children** and **Abduction.** Which book is it?

Danielle 5.22.11 Number 3 is false. Good Job Joni, Tyler, and Steve. Tyler 5.22.11 Are numbers one and two truths and number three a lie?

Is number three the lie and are one and two truths?

 * <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The book I am reading is Dan Gutman's newest book The Genius Files. I think that so far this book has been very good. Jumping of a cliff must have been scary. This book makes me think to always be careful when you are alone. They are traveling the worlds in there RV with their parents. They start in California. There are men chasing them. It is a very crazy trip! I don't think that I would ever take a trip like they did, but to me it sort of sounds fun **

Danielle 5.8.11 Kayla, I am not sure how she escaped but I am thinking through the underground railroad, and she was a slaves her whole life ( until she escaped) Kayla 5.6.11 Nice job at explaining the under ground rail road and how did she escape and how long was she a slave for?

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #00b9ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;">Danielle 5.1.11 <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #00b9ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;">My research topic is Slavery and The Under Ground Railroad. This is what I have learned about my topic so far. The under ground railroad was a secret route that African Americans took to escape from slavery. Harriet Tubman ran the underground railroad. She was an African American who was a slave until she escaped. Being a slave must have been hard. Being forced to work and not even getting anything for it. I have also learned that some slaves were treated differently. Some slaves had a small place to sleep and not as much food but, others don't. This is because it depends what job you have. Slaves did everything. Some of the jobs were to work in the fields planting cotton and tobacco and some slaves worked on docks and railroads.

<span style="background-color: #00b9ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Lexi,

<span style="background-color: #00b9ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">is a disease that you can get very sick and even die from. I do not no what foods he cant eat. He does not live in Philadelphia. Lastly, Samantha died not Jeffery. <span style="background-color: #00b9ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Joni, <span style="background-color: #00b9ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Steven plays the drums, so that is why the title is girls, drums, and dangerous pies.
 * : ** This week, look back at all your wiki entries and think about your best reading experience of the year. Which book stands out in your memory? Which one meant the most to you? Be sure to explain w

Joni 4.27.11
You did a good job of describing the book that you just finished. I have to agree with Lexi, well sort of. The last three sentences made my sad, but they didn't give me the chills. I also have a question which is: What does the book have to do with drums? (In the title.)


 * The book that I just finished reading is girls, Drums, and Dangerous Pies. This book is about a boy named Steven, his brother gets leukemia. This changes there whole families world upside down. Jeffery ( the kid who has leukemia) had to be careful what he eats, how active he is and more. If he eats the wrong foods he will puke and if he gets to active he gets really tired. This family gets a little messed up but steven fixes it by connecting them all. When Jeffery gets sick they have to go to Philadelphia to get the treatment. One time, Steven goes with his dad and jeffery to get the treatment and he meets a girl named Samantha. She doesn't get to see her family much. The next time he comes to Philly she is not their she goes to look for and asked the nurse where she is and she said that she died. He asked the nurse if anyone was there when she dies and only her mom was. That made Steven a little sad.**

Danielle 4.24.11 Thanks Molly, Lily, and Cameron!!

Cameron 4-18-11 Nice details and good cause and effect!!

Molly 4.17.11 Danielle good job! You had very good cause and effects.

Lily 4.17,11 I also read 11 birthdays. did you like it? I like how ypur cause and effect was based on the main part of the book! Nice details!!!! Danielle 4.15.11 The book that I just finished reading is 11 birthdays. The reason I read this book this week is because this whole book is basically about cause and effect. The cause in this book is that Leo and Amanda are best friends until Leo says means stuff about Amanda. They stop being friends but these two kids have the same birthday that has been spent together every year. Until there 11th birthday. Thats when stuff starts getting weird. There 11th birthday keeps happening again, and again, and again. The effect is that they finally figure this out and spend a little time together and find a person that knows this is happening.

Danielle 4.15.11 Thanks Chloe and Lily.

Chloe 4.11.11 From reading your entry i can see that Bonnie is a hero. She loves her brother and wants to save him!

Lily 4.11.11 I remeber reading that book! I agree with you that Bonnie is a hero, She tried to do every thing she could to save her brother.

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Danielle 4.4.11 <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">One character that I think is a hero is Bonnie from the book Abduction by Peg Kehret. One reason I think that she is a hero because she is always trying to help people. For example, when Matt goes missing she stays up trying to find him for many days. I think that when people are trying to always help people, they are determind,. Also, Bonnie is helpful. When Matt goes missing Bonnie tells the police everything she knows about him so it is easier to find him. Lastly, Bonnie knows when she is wrong. The day Matt is abducted she said to herself that she wishes Matt was older so he could stay home alone and she could go with her friends. Later that day she wishes she could stay home with him but she cant. As you can see, Bonnie is a great person and hero.

 * <span style="background-color: #00b9ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Mr. Shaw said that we can write about anything that someone would like to read. I looked at Mrs. Hansens Page and they were writing about different genres that we have read so this week thats what I am going to write about. My favorite genre is Mysteries. The reason I like mysteries so much is because they normally start with a scary thing that happens and then through out the story they start to figure out what happens. I also like mysteries because sometimes they never figure out what happens and they leave you with a question. **

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Danielle 3.13.11 <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The book that I just finished reading is Abduction by Peg Kehret. Two important characters in this book are Denny and Matt. There are some things that are obvious about Matt and Denny, They are both boys, They both have hair but there are some things that are not obvious. Denny tricks a lot of people, He is tricky and he is a BIG liar. He tricks Matt into getting in the car with him. Denny pretends to be a UPS guy. He puts on a fake mushtach and wig. When matt is going to the bathroom he says Matt you have to come quick. He convenses Matt to get in the car by saying the Matts dog Pookie was hurt and he has to take him to the animal hospital. Matt is also tricky and lies but he lies to help save his and his sister Bonnies life. When they pretend that they have to go to the bathroom they lie to Denny but really sneak out of the bathroom window. If I were abducted, and they only way to get rid of your abductor is to lie I would. I think that it is very weird how Matt and Denny are alike and different. I think this because Matt lies and is tricky but so is Denny, but Denny is doing the wrong thing when he does this but Matt is doing the right thing.

Danielle, what do you mean when you say that the two characters have "a way different personality?" What are some of the character traits that each one shows?
 * Mr. Shaw 3.6.11**

Danielle 2/3/11 The book I have been reading is Boys Are Dogs. There are not many characters that have been in my book so far but two main ones are Annabelle and her mom. They are alike because they both end up moving into the same house with the moms boy friend named Tim but Annabelle calls him Dweeble. I think that Annabelle really does not like Tim so the mom should stop bribing Annabelle buy buying her a dog, and new clothes. I think that Annabelle and her mom are different because Annabelle and her mom have a way different personality. Annabelle think more about how weird people are and how nice they are. Her mom just thinks that there are not many mean people so she is nice to most people. My Favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs And Ham.

Danielle 2/27/11 This week I have been reading Harry Potter. The first book of the series, which is Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. I do not like these books very much. I have not read very much of this book, I have only read the beginning of this book but this is what has happened so far. There is one family ( the Dursley's). On Mr. Dursley's way to work he notices some weird things. For example, he ses's a cat sitting and staring into the blank. At work he see's people wearing weird things, he also hear people talking about the potters. Mrs. Potter is Mrs. Dursleys sister. They are enemies. When Mr. and Mrs. Potter die, Harry has to go live with the Dursleys. The Dursleys are very mean to Harry. I don't think that this is that good of a book for me to read, So now I and going to read boys are dogs. I think that The Harry Potters Books are a hard level and that I will enjoy Boys Are Dogs much better.

<span style="color: #006eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">Danielle 2/21/11 <span style="color: #006eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">One author that I really like is Lauren Myracle. One reason I like her is because she writes all different kinds of books. Some are in IM's, some are long, some are short, and some are funny. I think that this is great because she is a great author and she writes all different kinds of books, so everyone can be able to enjoy them. Another reason I think that Lauren Myracle is a great author is because, she makes everything she writes is interesting. She gives lots of details with every topic she writes about. The last reason that I think Lauren Myracle is great author is because she is creative. She is creative because she writes about topics that capture peoples attention. I think this because every book that I have read that she has written is so good that I never want to put it down.

<span style="background-color: #3aafcb; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Danielle 2/13/11 <span style="background-color: #3aafcb; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">I think that Number the Stars and My brother Sam is Dead compare in many ways. One way that they are different is that in My brother Sam is dead the father is agenst Sam's desision and in Number the stars Annemarie's father is happy to help her friend they both want to do the same thing. For example, when Sam want to keep fighting in the war the father is very mad but when Annamarie and her mother want Ellen to move in the whole family is happy and wants to have her move in. These books are alike because in both or them there are people that dont like them and want to hurt or kill them. In number the stars people want to kill Ellen and her family because they are jews and, in my brother Sam is dead people killed father and Sam.

Danielle 2.13.11 Thanks Maddie and Joni.:)

**Joni 2.8.11** I have read the book __//**Eleven Birthdays**//__. I thought that it was a really good book.

Maddie G. 1/23/11 That book sounds really good.

<span style="color: #006eff; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Danielle 1.23.11

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #3aafcb; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 110%;">The book I am reading is Eleven Birthdays by Wendy Mass. In the beginning of this book is when Leo and Amanda are born on the same day at the same hospital. After the babies were born there was an old ladies that said that Leo and Amanda were going to be best friends and spend every birthday together. After the lady says they will spend every birthday together they forget about it. At their first birthday party they forget but end up having it at the same place. After that they have all of their birthdays together but on there 10th birthday Leo says stuff that is rude and hurts Amanda's feelings. After there 10th they both stop talking to each other. Another event that happens is when Leo and Amanda have separate birthday parties for there 11th birthday. Everyone leaves Amanda's party to go to Leo's party. Finally, the last event that happens is that the day after Amanda and Leo's birthday, they wake up and it is the same day. When she gets on the bus she, when she goes to school, everything is the same.

At the begining of the year I was reading books that were not to hard but not to easy then in October and November I started reading easier books but now I am reading books that are like the books that I read in the begining of the year not to hard and not to easy for me. Reading is not something that I like to do on weekends but over the week i like to read before I go to bed. One of my favorite books that I have read over the school year is TTYL. This book I like because it is all in IM and one of my favoroite author wrote this. The authors name is Myracle. One series that i want to read this year are the Harry Potter books. Maddie G. 1/9/11 The book you are reading sounds good.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Danielle 1/9/11 <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The book I am reading is TTYL (TALK TO YOU LATER) Myracle. This whole book is in IM. The main characters in this book are Maddie (mad maddie) Angela (SnowAngle) and Zoe ( zoegirl). They are all sophomores. In this book there is alot of drama. The main problem in this book is that Angela gets a boyfriend, Maddie starts hanging out with Jana and the other two girls dont like Jana, and Zoe starts going to church with her teacher. They all stop hanging out with each other. At the end they all become good friends and stop fighting and start hanging out with each other again. :)


 * Molly 12.20.10**
 * Danielle that sound's like a good book I would want to read. I think I will try it!**

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Danielle <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Big Nate Is a good book I have read this year and I recommend it to Morgan. I recommend this book to her because I know she enjoys laughing and this book is very funny. In this book there is a kid named nate and he has a journal that he writes in. He has a dad and a sister that he also writes about. The other book I recommend is The Babysitters Club. I recomend this book to Molly. I recommend this book to Molly because it is very good and she always reads long book and this one is about 200 pages. In this book there are 4 girls that all babysit. This book is about there babysitting job, there family, and more. I think that morgan and molly would really like these books.

The Baby Sitters Club Mr. Shaw 12.12.10 Danielle, which book are you describing in your "two truths and a lie?"

Danielle 12.9.10 2 truths and a lie
 * 1) They all take dance class
 * 2) They all babysit
 * 3) There are 4 main characters

Danielle 12.7.10 Maddie the BABYSITTERS CLUB is a great series.

Maddie G. 12/7/10 Is THE BABYSITTERS CLUB series good?

Danielle 12.5.10 Liam, Joni, and Molly you guys got it right! The book is The Babysitters Club The Summer Before. Good Job:)

Molly 12.5.10 Same thing as Joni and Liam is it the Babysitters Club the Summer Before?

Joni 12.5.10 Is it the Babysitters Club? If it is then I have read that book.

Liam 12/3/10 Is it the Babysitters Club, the Summer Before?

Danielle 12.3.10 Guess my book!
 * 1) The main characters are Kristy,Claudia,Stacey,and Mary Ann
 * 2) This book mostly takes place in Stoneybrook, Connecticcut
 * 3) The author is Ann M. Martin
 * 4) The book is in the booklist
 * 5) This book was at the bookfair

Mr. Shaw 11.20.10 Thanks, Danielle, for writing thoughtful entries. I see that you have described several traits of each character, but it's not clear to me what their motives are. What are they trying to achieve, and what is the reason they want to do this (their motive)?

Danielle 11/17/10 The book I am reading is THE WINDOW. The character I am writing about is Ray. Ray is a shy girl with no friends but really wants one. Ray is quiet. She is quiet but really wants to talk. If she talks she might get into trouble. Ray is going to be moving into many foster homes and if she says the wrong thing she might get into trouble.Ray is also responsible. At night when her mom doesn't come home she makes herself dinner and puts herself to bed. It must be hard having a dad that doesnt live with them and she barily sees and a mom who comes home the day after she went out, or sometimes doesn't comes back for a while. If I were in her place, I would tell her mom that it is hard to make dinner for herself every night and never really have anyone to rely on.

Danielle 11/17/10 Yes, this is the book called Dear Dumb Diary, Lets Pretend This Year Never Happend. Cameron 11.14.10 I have read those book dear dumb dairy but I have not read this one before seems very interesting and your character.

Lexi11/14/10 That must be grouse when she takes hair out of the garbage and also great describing dumb diaries. Is the book called Let's Pretend This Year Never Happened?

Danielle 11/11/10 For this entry I am going to write about a character from the book Dear Dumb Diary, Lets Pretend This Year Never Happened. That character is Jamie. Jamie is a very good writer. She likes to get her feelings out by writing in her diary. She has a strange sense of humor. For example, she takes Angelines hair out of the garbage and keeps it. It makes her feel good when she does this weird stuff but others think it is very weird and strange. One thing I like about this character is that she does not care what people think, and likes to be different. I wish that more people were like that, and not so worried about what other people think. I recommend this book to people that like to read very funny books.

Danielle 11/10/10 Thank you Cameron and Kayla!!

Cameron 11.7.10 I read that book to awesome job explaining the book and peter.

Kayla 11-6-10

Grest job at explaining your character Peter and I have have never read Number the stars. But it sounds like an awsome book that a lot of people would want to read someday.

Danielle 11/4/10 The book I read was Number The Stars. The character I admire the most is Peter. One thing I like about Peter is that he was going to marry a very nice person who was a brave resisdent fighter. Another thing I like about Peter is that he is a very happy man. When peter goes to the johansens he is very worried but still is very calm and is happy to see his family. One thing I saw at the Holocaust Museum that reminded me of this book was a picture of 1,000 soldiers. That picture reminded me of this book because in this book almost everywhere the jews went their were soldier and there were so many in that picture and so many in the book. Molly 11/4/10 I have read that book, it was really good! I like how you used good details to describe the book.

Maddie 11/3/10 I stared to read that book but I never ended up finishing it.

Danielle 10/31/10 I am not into scary or spooky stories but one book I recommend is Regarding The Fountain By Klise. I already read this book but wanted to read it again. In this book Florence is a fountain designer. When she is at the school she is going to build a fountain and she sees a class that is next to the water fountain. Then she asks the class to make designs for the new fountain. At the end she combines all the designs and makes a very cool fountain. I recommend this book to people that like to read books that are funny. She also makes the book interesting by using different fonts. Danielle 10/16/10 The book I am reading is Number The Stars. There are many characters in this book but my favorite one is Annemarie Johansen. They describe her as a lanky person. Lanky means very tall and skinny. Annemarie is about 10 or 11 years old. Annemarie acts very good. She never really breaks the rules. She walks to and from school with her friend Ellen. One of Annemarie problems is that Ellen is jewish and Annemarie isn't so they have to be very careful when they are out of their houses because they don't want to get caught by any Nazi soldiers. Another one of her problems is that Her sister Lise dies 2 years ago and they are still sad about it. I really like Annemarie, she has a great personality and is very nice and kind.

Mr. Shaw 10.12.10 Sam Krupnik is one of my favorite characters, so I am glad that you chose to write about him this week! I think you did a good job of explaining some of the key points of his character.

Danielle 10.10.10 The book I am reading is All About Sam. The main character in this book is Sam. Sam is a 3 year old boy. He goes to nursery school. He has an older sister Anastasia and a mom and a dad.I have noticed from the front cover of the book and how they describe him, that Sam has brown hair and is the average height for his age. Sam is a pretty good boy. He does bad stuff but does not know that it is bad. He flushes his sisters fish down the toilet, he steals a pack of gum and more. One of Sam's problems is that he doesn't understand what some words or expressions mean, so he gets confused a lot. For example, In one chapter Anastasia told him that they are moving. He says no I am not, but he thinks it means moving his body not houses. He also Gets confused Because his mom Says that all of the water goes down into a pipe, Sam thinks that he is talking about his dad's smoking pipe. It is very funny. I like Sam. He is pretty much a good kid even though he gets in to trouble a lot.☺

Lexi 10/4/10 It sounds like a good book to read. I wonder what will happen to Greg and Maura. Are they going to stay friends?

Danielle 9/2/10 The book I am reading is LUNCH MONEY by Andrew Clements. In the book right now, Greg loves money. He will do what ever it takes to get some. Greg made comic books called chunky comics. Then Maura Shaw Made her own comics called The lost Unicorn. He gets mad about that. Greg and Maura have always been competitive with each other. I think that this book is very good so far. Andrew Clements is a great author! Devin-9/27/10 Cool book I might want to read it!!!!!!!!

Danielle 9.25.10 The book I just finished reading was ALONE IN HIS TEACHERS HOUSE by Sachar. The main characters in this book are Marvin, Mrs.North, Waldo, Stuart,and Miss Hillway. In this book there are two main settings one is house and the other is place is at their school. One of the problems is that Marvin is at Mrs. North's house and Waldo the dog wasn't eating. Marvin called the vet and they told him to make liver for the dog. Marvin followed their directions and something bad happens to the dog. Marvin thinks the teacher is going to be angry and hate him, but it turns out he was wrong. One word I did not know the meaning of, was exclaimed the sentence used for it was "You were alone in her house?"Stuart exclaimed. Exclaimed means that Stuart said it with surprise.

alexis that sounds like a great book i will try to read it

Danielle 9/19/10 Thanks. You did a great job explaining too!:):)

Lexi 9/19/10 You did a great job explaining the book. That makes me want to read THIRTEEN.

Danielle 9.19.10

The book I am reading is THIRTEEN by Myracle. The main character in this book is Winnie. Winnie just turned thirteen. She is best friends with Cinnamon and Dinah. She has a mom and a dad, she also has a brother. For her birthday Winnie, Cinnamon and, Dinah go to Neiman Marcus and get makeovers. When they are all getting makeovers winnies becomes a little jealous and thinks that that they are prettier than her. Once she gets her makeover she relies that they all are pretty and she should be happy for her friends.

I really like this book so far. I have read ELEVEN and also TWELVE and those were both really good. I recommend this book to anyone who likes drama. There is a lot of jealousy and more in these books!

The book I am reading is Regarding The Sink by Kate Klise. The conflict in this book is that they need a new sink in the cafeteria and Florence is building it, but she goes missing. In rope burn they conflict is that Richard is new and in gym class they need to learn how to climb a rope. In both of these books the resolution is to work together. They both required teamwork. These books have a the same settings. They both take place mostly at a school.

The book I am reading is The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snickets. It is in a series called The Series Of Unfortunate Events. I really like this book. This book is about 3 kids and their parents die in a fire. They go with Count OIaf. He is a very mean man, he makes the kids cook, clean and, go to the store for him. I think that it is very sad that their parents die and they are put with a put with a person that is very harsh. I normally read for at least 20 minutes or more. I read everyday before I go to bed either on the couch or in my bed. I try to read books that aren't to hard for me but not to easy for me. I like to read because it always relaxes me. Two authors that I like are Kate Dicamillo and Dan Gutman.
