Dear Readers,
Great job commenting on one another's book responses. I loved the way you pushed each other's thinking by asking questions and agreeing and disagreeing. This week I would like you to synthesize a part of the book you just read. Then go back to summarize the earlier parts of the book, using text evidence, that relate to just that part. Use the chart and example below to help you. 


Example: In chapter 6, Rob went through the school day happily, excited that he was going to be free from school for a while. At lunchtime, he avoided the cafeteria, knowing that Norton and Billy Threemonger would be there. Norton and Billy had been bullying Rob on the bus ride to school every day. The bus driver did nothing, and Rob just took it. That's why Rob didn't want to encounter them in the lunchroom. Rob sat on the bench outside the lunchroom, studying his drawing of the tiger, when suddenly, the cafeteria doors swung open, and Sistine marched out, followed by some rowdy kids. Rob wanted to tell her to run away from the bullying but he was silent. This wasn't the first time Rob had been silent in the face of bullies. And then, Rob watched Sistine turn back into the crowd and begin to fight the bullies. In earlier chapters, Sistine sort of stood up to the bulling, not really letting it bother her. For example on page 9 when Sistine told Billy and Norton her name and where it came from with confidence.  But now, she is fighting back!

Hey guys, I just finished my book today and I read a different book that was also named stink by Meagan McDonald. In this book stink and his friends found ginny pigs, and took them to a shop. When they walked in the shop there were ginny pis scrambling every where. Stink and his friends help find homes for all of the ginny pigs. At the end of the book Stink gets to keep a ginny pig. I recommend this book!

Hi guys! I am reading a book called Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate. In chapter 34, Jackson and his dad went to best buy to look at TV's. When they got there the Giants game was on on all of the TV's. The one jackson was watching was strange because one of the announcers was a cat (Crenshaw). He wondered if he was just imagining or if it was actually weird. After a long while they left. In chapter 35, they drove to the pet shop. Jackson's dad was so tired that jackson went in to get Aretha (their dog) dog food. Right now he is in the Aisle where the dog food is. I made a prediction for what might happen next: I predict in the petshop, jackson will see Crenshaw again. He might even see him in the dog food bag.

I am reading a book called "Who Was Christopher Columbus?". It is about how he got interested in finding the new world (is what they called it) he got interested in finding the new world when he heard people talking about getting spices. It also tells about survival skills like building a little tipi. It also tells about what he did before he was interested in finding the new world what he did was working with his dads company. It also tells the obvious things like when he was born (1451)and when he died(1506). It also tells when he got married (1479)and when he had his child (1490).It also tells when he got arrested and sent back to Spain (1500).it also tells when he set out to find the new land(1492) and so much more. Right now I am at the point were he is learning survival skills.

Hi everybody! this week, I read a book called story thieves.what happened was that a girl in the book named Bethany can jump into books, and a boy named Owen found out her secret, and he said that he would keep his mouth shut if she too him into his favorite book. Unfortunitley, he told the characters in the book that they were in a book. things got crazy, and the rest of the book is about them getting things to go back to normal.

Hi i'm reading a book called Spy School by Stuart Gibbs. In this book a boy named Ben got in to a spy school. I know he is freaked out by this school because first a boy named chip is bullying him and he is really scared of him and he was making him do stuff that would get him expelled. Also an assassin came in to Ben's room and pointed his gun at Ben and told him to tell the assassin what pinwheel was and Ben had no idea what pinwheel was. Also Ben's room was marked as a crime seen so Ben had to sleep in the school "Box" which is a jail sell. That's when I stopped reading. That's why I think Ben does not like school.

The book I am reading is called Spaced Out. The part I read was about a boy named Dashiell and a girl named Kira who are trying to find evidence of who kidnapped the moon base commander, Nina. When they were searching in Nina's room they found a secret space in her room. The room was covered in rocks.Now they are going to see if there is anything else in her room.

I wonder what the secret space leads to or what it is used for?

Hi. I am reading The Bell Bandit by Jacqueline Davies. It's about a 3rd grade girl named Jessie and a 5th grade boy named Evan. They travel to their grandmother's house in the mountains for New Year's Eve with their mom. When I started this book I thought it was going to be bad. But as I read more,the book got better and better. When I told a retell of the book to my dad, he thought I was telling chronological. In my opinion, I think chronological helps the person understand better because it stays in order.

Hey guys. I am reading a book called the Land of Stories. Right now I am at the part where Ezmia has the twins mother thinking that she is Alex who is one of the twins. From this part I realized anyone who is mean or someone like Ezmia they will most likely have had someone mean in their life or something bad or sad has happened to them. BY this I mean that they weren't just born to be mean something bad has happened and they ended up to take the wrong path.

So I was reading the book Stink, and was being a judge at the stinky shoe contest. He was a judge because one of the original judges got sick, so Stink's teacher suggested he be the substitute judge, since they found out he had an awesome nose at a smelling museum field trip. I finished the book but that's pretty much it.

As he blinked, he opened his eyes in a blank space where nothing was happening. It was never ending. He seemed bored but time went slower and slower every second. He thought he was there for years but of course he wasn’t. A man popped out of nowhere and walked up to Owen but weirdly he didn’t have a face. He said his name was Nothing so Owen called him Nothing. They started talking and he asked where he was. Nothing said he was between stories and Nothing said he was lucky to be alive. Nothing asked Owen “Do you want me to show you my face?” Owen said yes. So a face started growing out of his head. Now they started walking and Nothing found something and pressed it. The blankness fell down as if a machine tearing a wall down and they appeared in Magister's study.



To be continued...

My character Ben really wants to become a spy. But he can't because he isn't that good at martial arts. But he is really good at math.
