= Joey's reading comments for the 2010-11 school year! = Joey 5/19/11 Sydney you're right good job. The book I am reading is Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key. 1. Joey has special needs 2. He barely knows his dad. 3. His mom works at a nail spa. 4. HIs grandma runs away. 5. His Helpers nick name is Special Ed. Try to find out. Sydney 5/11/10 Is it the Genius Files? Joey 5/10/11 I am doing guess that book. 1. The main characters are the names of pop 2. There are people trying to kill them 3 They are on a cross country road trip 4. Their last name is McDonald Joey 4/19/11 Sorry Gillian that is incorrect. =Gillian 4/14/11- Is the book Two Hot-dogs with Everything?= Joey 4/12/11 Here are the clues 1. The main characters name is Michael 2. Michael likes baseball 3. He lives in the Bronx 4. He has a really good arm. Joey 3/22/11 = Two characters in my book are Jough and Maggie They both love sports and are very friendly and are very nice to each other. Jough has very complex thinking and Maggie is a straight A student in school. One way they are different is that Maggie ( a girl) takes way to much care of her hair where as Jough has a mustache that he really does not care about. Maggie excels in archery, where as Jough excels in baseball in there time for sports. Another way they are alike is that in pure coincidence know the same family in different ways. Jough's baseball coach is Maggie's best friends dad. There younger brother is friends with the little brothers. Another way they are different is that don't look anything alike each other. Maggie looks like her mom and I'm pretty sure Jough looks like her dad. Those are some ways Maggie and Jough are alike and different. = = Joey 3/7/11 = My favorite genres to read are Mysteries and science fiction. I like mysteries because they really make you use your brain and think. I like science fiction because they usually use a lot of technology and take place in the future. I would recommend the Alex Rider series because they are interesting and include those to genres.

Mrs. Hansen - What a wonderful entry. I agree with your observations about reading. Reading is a great thing for your mind. Joey 2/28/11 = I think I have read longer books and books with more complex words. I also have read books that I have enjoyed. I think reading is a great thing for your mind and helps you extend your vocabulary usage and understanding. My most memorable book is the one that I just finished called Skeleton Key in the Alex Rider series written by Anthony Horowitz. In future reading I am hoping to read the entire Alex Rider series. Right now I am reading Percy Jackson and the olympians the demigod files by Rick Riordan I love it! It is an add-on to the series. =

Mrs. Hansen - Joey, you are one of the most responsible students that I know. You always write an entry that addresses the prompt. Well done! Over the next few weeks, I would like you to challenge yourself to write with greater depth and detail. Really work to explain your ideas. You do have a lot to say and I don't want you to sell yourself short. +4 house points=====

Joey 2/24/11 The two characters in my book are very different Alex is English while General Sarov is Russian. Both have lost someone important in their lives. They have both been involved in many operations. They are completely different ages. Joey 2/14/11 My two books are the same thing there are characters in each story that are being judged. The setting is the same because both books take place during a time of war. The plot is also the same they involve someone escaping. They also have the same theme.

Joey 2/7/11

I am reading war comes to Willy Freeman the two themes in the book are determination and skill. The two messages are life is not perfect and people can be judged. 2/3/11 Sorry Tessa you are incorrect My character is Willy Freeman she takes many risks including her life and freedom. she is sensitive and can get scared and nervous at times she is bold and daring.

Another book I recommend is the shadow children series because you always want to read more. ** Mrs. Hansen - 12/8 Brian's Song was one of my favorite movies. I'm not surprised that you are enjoying reading the book. What are some of Gale Sayers character traits? +2 house pts :) **

Morga 12-2~sounds like a awsome book. is gale real? 12 - 2 Katie - That sounds like a very good book. That is fascinating that the main person in your book is writing about himself. Joey 12/1/10 The main person in my book is actually writing about himself my character is Gale Sayers he played on the bears. Gale is explaining how his life has went and right now he has been drafted to the broncos and dick butkus has been drafted to the chiefs they end up on the bears and are really good.

Mrs. Hansen - It is hard to imagine what it would be like to live during that time. Would you recommend the novel to a friend?

Joey 11/3/10 The novel helped me understand what a horrible time that was to live in. I would be so horrified if I lived in Europe at that time. I hope such a tragedy won't happen again. Joey 10/27/10 Since no one has caused problems in the book yet Mrs. Hansen said I could write a summary. In the book I am reading Jason is trying to find out what g-d will claim him his friend Leo has been claimed by Hephasestus g-d of blacksmiths and fire. This is Rick Riordan's newest book.

Wow Joey! That is really good. I really like it when you talked about the Liz Ard part.

Tessa10/24/10 Nice job joey,I liked how you were persuading the book to me and how you described the fountain to me.

= Maddie 10/18 = = That's a really good entry Joey! I think it's really cool that there are slides and tree houses! I really want to read it. = = Jake-10/21/10 That sounds so awesome, Joey. = Katie 10/21/10 I like how you described the fountain. Devin-10/18/10 Joey you did a great job persuading me into buying your book nice job!!!!!! 10/18/2010 Joey 10/18/2010 Come buy the book Regarding The Fountain Today This book has characters with funny names and characteristics here is an example Liz Ard also pronounced as lizard. Another thing that is cool is that it has a drawing of a water fountain, but this is not any old water fountain they're slides, tree houses, and a tree that spits water out. Lastly there is no chapters the whole book is news articles and letters. I hope you stop by your local book store and by Regarding The Fountain today.
