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!!!

Predict what will happen next in the story

If you givfe a cat a cupcake

My favorite port of the story is wen the girl gave the cat a cupcake. The cat said that he wanted some sprinkles.So the girl gave the cat some sprinkles.The cat made a huge mess. I think I liked that port because I think that port was funny. I think how the cat was feeling is happy.because he got a cupcake!

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.

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. These castles were big they were about 900 feet tall. Camelot is not a real place it is made up by the author.

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.

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.

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.
