yay it's Christmas! Today I'm having a party at my house with my dad's side of the family. My mom is cooking she's making scalloped potatoes, pommegranite pork tenderloin, cherry blackberry pie, pecan pie, orange almond salad, veggies and gingerbread cookies. I put the faces on the gingerbread cookies. I decorated the table with gingerbread houses. When my family gets here we're going to eat and then play Apples To Apples. Merry Christmas! GA

A Roomful Of Dots

Us S.F and K.T did a roomful of dots. We had to figure out how many sheets of paper with 2,000 dots on it would take to fill our whole classroom, and how much it would weigh. First we did an estimate to guess how many dots would fill our classroom, and we guessed more than a billion. Then for the weight of the paper we guessed between 500,000 pounds and a million pounds. Next we had to figure out the real answer, for the dots. Next we measured the length and the with of our classroom, we came up with 10 by 9. Then we had to figure out how many reams will cover the classroom floor, we came up with 1,247.5 reams to cover the floor. Then we measured from floor to ceiling, and we got 55.5 reams. Next we multiplied 55.5 *500 cause, there are 500 sheets in one ream and we got 34,618,000. Then we multiplied it by 2,000 because they're 2,000 dots per sheet, then we got 69,236,000,000. Then we had to find the exact answer for weight. we did 4*69,236 because 1 ream = 4 pounds and we got 276,944. That how we did a roomful of dots.


S.F and K.T

The best part

I think the best part of the story ( The Name Of The Book Is Secrete) is when Cass(AKA/Cassandra) is going down a burning rope. Even through she is a survivalist in training, she was emotional and so was I. I think that was the most emotional part in the book.

CT

PS:I would recommend this book.

How the charecter reamindes me of my self

The character reminds me of my self because I use to have a dog and my dog slept with me on my bed one night and the next day she was gone and she was gone for 2 and a half days but we found her under the cowch and she had BABBIE'S!!!

Scene from the book

The book I'm reading is called Inkheart.I'm going to tell you about Capricorn's village,Capricorn is the bad guy in the story. The whole village seems to have a desserted secret,it is almost as if every thing is dead without a sound of life.The church is not a serious place.There are no pews,the altar is missing and is re placed with a big chair.In the back of the room Capricorn has built a statue of himself.There are no flowers,no laughter,and no hope. Capricorn's village is one place I would not like to visit!

New Ending

In the book The Magic School Bus Space Explorer I would change the ending so that that the kids and Ms.Frizzle get stuck in outer space for 20 years,and in 20 years a space craft finds them and brings them home.For 20 years they would try to call Misson control and they get into an escape pod and the ship blows up.That's how I would change the ending.In the real ending they come home.I picked the ending from a book called Gorge's Cosmic Treasure Hunt.That's how I would change the ending.







From,MB

How does the main charater remind you of yourself?

In Ruby Holler the main charaters, Dallas & Florida, the trouble twins remind me of when my sister, Ella, was born and brought home. I would sit on her, and I would scratch her eyes and make them bleed. Dallas & Florida were naughty in the book by breaking a giant window in the side of the barn. They thought they were being helpful but instead they got in big trouble from Tiller & Sairy, their foster parents. I think that I was naughty like Dallas & Florida when I did that. That's what Dallas & Florida remind me of.
H.C.

New ending.

In Ruby Hollar, Dallas and Florida ( the two trouble twins) ran away from their foster parent's. Tiller and Siary's real kids came home to vist their parents,and so I think Dallas and Florida are feeling pretty sad.And so I think my new ending might be Budy & Lucy are happy to see that their parents have adopted Dallas & Florida & there would be no welcome home bacon,& Dallas & Florida woulden't have run away in the first place.E.C.

The most importin part

The most import part is wen Brady house got hit by a fireball ,and the reason ti is that is the mane part of the story.The story is called go big or go home. So Brady house gets hit by that fireball.Then Quinn comes to live with him .They love to do extreme stuff together. I think that is most imprint part.I would recommend this book to lots of people.Brady he all so gets prows.This book is really grate.

Predition

My book Swindle begins when a boy finds a baseball card of Babe Rooth.He decides to take it to a pon shop and sell's it for 100 dallors. It isn't enouh to solve his familys financhal problem, but I think he's gona find a way that that Babe Rooth card was valubal because the person that gave him 100 dallors was acting suspitios.It was almost like he wanted to keep the card for himself.

predict what will happen next in the story

What will happen next?Charlie and The Chocolate Factory I think that next all of the kids that got in trouble will go home and, Charlie will go home too.He will get the reward because when they go to the factory WillyWonka says that one of the children will get a reward.When all the bad kids went home Charlie and WillyWonka were in the great glass elevator and Veruca Salt saw it and, she said daddy I want that elevator and I think she felt selfish.Charlie would enjoy the elevator and go anywhere he wants because he is special.He might take the elevator to France.I wonder if there's another book about Charlie, WillyWonka, and Charlie's family.

Describe a scene

12/11/o9

Jack and Annie own a Magic Tree House. Jack is a boy who falls asleep a lot with brown hair. Annie has blond curly hair. She makes wishes in the Magic Tree House to go to places. Jack and Annie are both very cool and interesting. You'll see if you read the book. In this story Jack and Annie go to Camelot and have Christmas in Camelot. People in Camelot are dying,so Jack and Annie go save Camelot. On their way they see a red scaled dragon that is evil. Camelot is a dangerous place with a lot of castles.

prediction

I'm reading Harry Potter the second. In the first book Harry and his friends battled a three headed dog and found their teachers secret. It was a close one they almost died. now they're figuring out who opened the chamber of secrets.The chamber of secrets is a hidden chamber that an ancient wizard named Slytheryn created . only an heir of Slytheryn can open it. they can do whatever they wish with the evil powers. Some think it's a myth. It's been open before and it's been open again. Hermione Harry's friend has been atacked by the hier and Harry and his friend Ron found out that Hagrid the giant opened the chamber of secrets the last time and the're about to go talk to him. I think Hagrid will say that he didn't open it then he'll finaly tell the truth and Ron will force him to help them. I'm so exited to see what happens! GA

How do you think the character felt

In the book Henry and the Paper Route Henry felt anoyed when Ramona, (his friend's little sister) , did not come out of the mover's turk .He felt really mad when she took the wagon he was using to carry papers in. He said,'come back',but said 'NO!' Henry feels that way because Ramora always pesters him . Thats the way Henry felt in that event.

In the book A Series of Unfortunate Events #5 there are three kids who have almost never had a happy moments in their entire lives. Then, they met triplets who had a lot of rough times too. Right now they are living at a boarding school, and have too live in a tiny shack with tons of crabs. Also, the triplets they met had once lived in the same shack. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny [the 3 kids] feel phenomenal when they get showed around by the triplets. D.F.

City of the RATS

My favorite part was of the story was when Jasmine jumped of the roof bravely ,and killed Reeah a giant snake with Leif's sword.Hungry rats start to eat Reeah after Barda,a old palace guard,grabs Reeah's crown,which has the opal ,the gem of happiness,which is used to free the land from the Shadow Lord a evil sorceress, because instead of holding Leif and not killing Reeah she let him go and broke most of his bone's and killed Reeah.

Shooting The Moon

I'm reading a book by Frances O'roark Dowell, Shooting The Moon. I predict that Jamie is going to try to get in the army, and they're going to say that she's to young she's only twelve years old. Then she's going to fight someone, and there finally going to let her in. Next she's going to get hurt, and she's going to see her brother.(He's one of the army people who help the people who get stabbed.) He's going to try to rescue Jamie.

The last holiday concert

The book I'm reading is the last Holiday Concert.The book is about how he didn't sound like much, but it was a good idea.His name is Hart Evan. Well he wanted to be a music and art teacher but they couldn't afford it.So he told the sixth graders they can do a holiday concert on there own. will it be the Holiday concert for them all? My prediction is I wonder if its going to be the last holiday concert because the way the book is that there is going to be more then one holiday concert. thats my predtion.

The Magic Half

In the book called The Magic Half by Annie Barrows I predict Miri,the main character will go back in time to save Molly,Miri's friend from Horst,Molly's cousin ,Aunt Flo,Molly's aunt,and Sissy,Horst's sister.I think Miri will go back in time because the book said Miri was determined to save Molly.I just don't know what Molly needs to be saved from.

Mecio And The Fifth Tresure

In the book Mecio And The Fifth Treasure, the author wants to teach you that you shouldn't worry about things that can't be changed. What the author means is your waisting your time by worrying.A example is you shouldn't worry about bombs dropping on you like Mecio, the main character does. The author is trying to teach not to worry.

PREDICTION

Next in CRYPTID HUNTERS I predict that on their way to the Congo and Switzerland the plane will stall in the Congo,and Grace and Marty will go with wolf to try to save the cryptid Mokele Mbembe from being poached. A Mokele Mbembe is a dinosaur a little bigger than a elephant.world 2 for goness sake..I think that because the engine is junk from world war 2.The plane is a bomer from world war 2 for goness sake.

Dragon Slippers

My prediction for the book Dragon Slippers is that Creel, the main character in the story,will call for Shardis. Shardis will not come. Creel will get worried, and really think that Amaliea, the princess of Roalen, either killed Shardis or is using him for danger to the kingdom of Kings Seat and Fennil. I think this because Larkin, a girl on Amaliea's side, knows about Shardis. I also think this because Amaliea has Creel's magic slippers.That is my prediction for Dragon Slippers.

Magic Half

Miri, the main character, has to scare Horst, Miri`s friend`s brother away. This sounds hard but,is easy. From our time, Miri`s friend Molly, is from the past,Miri brought a c.d player and a creepy mask. Molly cut up her mother`s coat, and put it on Miri. She went in to Horst`s room, and Molly turned on Death Bag, a c.d. Horst was sweating with horror, he thought it was a dead thing. It sure did scare him away!

Ida B.

One day he hears he might get sold for 25 crescents, but the fisherman rejects because Con is to precious to him.

Ivy+Bean

I'm reading Ivy+Bean by Annie Barrows. Ivy is the new girl and at first,Bean dosn't like Ivy beacause she says," she looks kind,but kind, is boring." I don't agree with Bean because when Bean was playing,she looked really interested in Ivy. Bean has a older sister named,Nancy,but I don't know if Ivy has siblings. Bean loves to be active and play,and will only wear dresses if her mom makes her. Ivy allways has a book in her hands,wears a headband,and is allways wearing a dress. So they are different,but will they be friends???????? I would recomend this book to all the girls who love to read! There is a second book called Ivy +Bean and the ghost that had to go! The answer to will they be friends is,yes, they will be friends.

Favorite Part

The book I'm reading is Operation:Survival.What has happened so far in the book is,Joe and Frank get a pizza at school ,but it had a DVD player in it.It shows a kid named Zack Maiguarie who gets killed at a place for troubled teens.Frank and Joe go in as Brian Moya and Steve Neemy.My favorite part is when the boathouse is on fire with Joe in it.That was my favorite part because it was a good action part.I think Joe was scared because it said Joe was frantically digging to make a tunnel to get out.

Football Hero

Football Hero takes place in New York,and its about a 12 year old kid named Ty. Ty just started playing football in middle school. His brother just finished college and played football there. He is a very fast runner and a great wide receiver. His brother is trying out for the New York Jets . I predict the brother will run faster than his opponent from the Tennessee Titans and make the team. I also think Ty will be a great wide receiver like his brother.those are my Football Hero predictions.

the valentines day disaster

In the book The Valentines Day Disaster one of the settings was the Valentines Bakery.
You should have seen it there was pink everywhere. Pink cookies,pink table clothes,pink pink and more pink,but Maddie ruined it by wearing all black. Maddie didn't like valentines day at all,but by the end she liked it.CR

Reading Response

The book I'm reading is called Zoo Break. Right now I'm at the part when Mr.Martinez's class is going on a field trip, but I think they are going to the zoo. Well before this, a pet monkey got kidnapped, but also the owner is really sad. But since usually no one would want to kidnap a monkey, so I think the kidnapper is a zookeeper. Then a dog,who is the monkey's best friend, will sniff the monkey out, and the scent of the monkey will lead the dog straight to the zoo.
That is my predection.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days

My book is diary of a wimpy kid dog days.Ive already read the book but I'm reading it for my second time. My reading response is what do you think what will happen next. I think that the Muddy Hand is not true , and will not attack them .The muddy hand is a villain in a movie.Why I think that the muddy hand will not attack is because it is a character in a movie.The only reason why they think its coming to get them is because at the end of the movie it said I am coming after you . That was only to scare all of the people who watched it.

Reading Response

My favorite part so far in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is when Harry jumps into an ice cold lake. The reason that was my favorite part so far is because I think it was really brave of Harry to jump into a half frozen lake with ice cold water completely undressed to retrieve the sword of Griffindoor that wasn't part of there mission.


C.B.

AWESOME READING RESPONSE?

In the story [Heroes Don't Run] Adam`s family sent him to his grandfathers house were he is sent to militarily boot camp. I predict that he will go to the Pacific war because of the book cover seems like a realy moist area and because of the book so far.

The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

My favorite part of The Lion The Witch and Wardrobe is when Aslan, the lion, goes to the stone table,and the white witch kills Aslan in a harsh way.Then he comes alive.The first time I saw the movie that part was surprising.Another favorite part is when Aslan plans a battle against the white witch.In the battle she killed alot of people then Aslan killed her. I was happy when she died!I am happy that she died because she is an awful woman.
