Hi Kids,
I've decided that I'm going to try to get as many kids as possible to help pick the best Children's book for Massachusetts this year.  Salem State College runs a contest each year where they nominate a bunch of books and ask kids to read at least FIVE and then vote for their favorite in March.  I'm going to start a book group for grades 4 and 5 when we get back to school to read these.  In the meantime, there is no reason you cannot start reading some.  (I've already read a few--and they are good so far--Home of the Brave is may favorite so far).  If you want to get started, you can click on the link in the column on the right to get the book list!  Let me know if you read any.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI officially finished reading 2 months ago, but I continued. Now I am reading the high school history class novel, The Wave. It is interesting because the teacher re-creates a similar WWII Nazi camp in the school and its starts as the the senior history class and it expands to the whole school! A whole empire starts just because Ben Ross, could not answer the question "How could the Nazis kill that many people without feeling remorse?"
Happy Reading,
Kyle Irvine
Thanks for that recommendation Kyle! I might try it myself.
ReplyDeletehey, i'm reading diary of a would-be princess.
ReplyDeleteit's nothing like diary of a wimpy kid expect that the book is in a diary form.
Princess: the main characters a girl and she has 2 little brothers.
Wimpy kid: the main characters a boy and he has 1 older brother and 1 little brother.
You should read it!!!!!
