The Old Willis Place Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

             It is me, Dianna. I have met a girl, Lissa. She just moved here. Georgie is not very happy about that. Why can’t Georgie understand that I just want a friend? Well it is true that I am not allowed to have friends so, Georgie should be mad. It is so hard not to tell Lissa all of my secrets. She really wants to know but I just can’t. I do not trust her. I don’t even trust you. The only person that knows is Georgie. Now Lissa wants to go into the Old Willis Place! I can’t go back in there! I went in there by myself and Georgie freaked out. Now I know I cannot go back in there. Well, I will think it all over. Maybe Georgie will never know if I go in there. I just got to think it all over again.

                                                                                  Love,

Rodrick picks on Gregory a ton once he trapped Gregory in his room when he had to go to the bathroom that would go down in a big mess.

Interview with Mrs. Chase

                

 Mrs. Chase is a Language Arts teacher at Bluebonnet Elementary. She teaches 4^th grade students here.

Bloggers: “If you were a book, what genre would you be?”

Mrs. Chase: “I would be Historical Fiction because I really enjoy reading about characters that live in times past.  I also learn new facts about history.  When I was a kid, I always wished I could get in a time machine and live in the late 1800’s.”

Bloggers: “What is your least favorite book, or one that you had trouble understanding? (1 or more)”

Mrs. Chase: “I’m embarrassed to say this, but it would be the Percy Jackson series.  I know everyone loves the series, and I will definitely give it another shot this summer, but I’m not a big fan of Greek Mythology.   I even fell asleep during the movie L.  Sorry L

Bloggers: “What are some books that you would recommend to students here at Bluebonnet and all the other schools out there?”

Mrs. Chase: “Well, I haven’t talked a lot about this series this year, but I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan and would always recommend that book to anyone.  If I could pick another book, it would have to be Hatchet because it shows how courageous Brian is while living in the woods on his own with only a hatchet as a tool.  I’m not going to say anything else to spoil it J  

Bloggers: “What age did you show interest in reading books or just books in general?”

Mrs. Chase: “When I was in 4^th grade, I began reading the Goosebumps series.  While I was in school, teachers never pushed me to read, so I didn’t.  A friend of mine introduced me to Goosebumps and I became a fan of books ever since.

Bloggers: “What book would you recommend as a movie for all ages to see and enjoy?”

Mrs. Chase “Among the Hidden…for sure!

Bloggers: “Thank you for your opinions on everything and we hope you enjoy seeing this on The Blog!!

Mrs. Chase: “I am looking forward to reading this interview and I hope to see many comments!!!” J

Bink and gollie

Today  I’m  talking  about Bink  and Gollie .Its  about 2  sisters  Bink  and  Gollie. Bink  gets  a  fish  named  Fred . Gollie  saves  the  fish  when  the  bowl  brakes. My  favorite  part  about  the  book  is it  is  a  fast  read  and it's  funny. And  the  chapters  are  so  stupid like  " give  a fish  a  home". So  if  your  in  a  middle  of  a  book  and  you  want  to  read  something else to read  real  quick than  this  would  be the  book  for  you!!

Deep Trouble

By: Kathy

The book for my book review is Deep trouble written by R.L. Stine, an author who can give you the creeps!

Billy and his sister Sheena are visiting their uncle Dr. Deep on a tiny Caribbean island it’s a great place to explore underwater but when Dr. Deep says to stay away from the coral reefs he means it. Still the reefs are so beautiful and peaceful that Billy had to go down but there’s something lurking deep under the waves that is something half-human, half fish ….

My favorite part was when… it’s at the end so I can’t tell you. Sorry!

Hope you enjoy!

The Giver

The Giver is such a good book because Jonas has to complete these volunteer hours because he is a 12 at his daycare and if he doesn’t complete his volunteer hours he will not be able to get a job. At his ceremony of 12 there was 1 kid who didn’t complete his volunteer hours so he got held back and could not get a job. So, at Jonas’s ceremony of 12 Jonas got the job of Receiver of Memory. It had been such a hard week to wait for his ceremony and he had thought his job meant nothing. He had went to his parents and asked them what his job meant and all they told him was that his job was very important. At the end of The Giver Jonas had ran away from home with Gabriel and he had never experienced rain or snow or nothing and finally after many, and many of miles he finally saw green valleys and rain and snow. I would hate to be Gabriel and not be able to barely survive.

Meloney and the Creature

By Claudia

               

The wind howled, sweeping the clouds across the low gray sky. The moon hung low over the tall scrawny trees. Meloney pulled herself through the woods on the side of her house. There was a growl. A low growl. A snap of a twig. A flash of white. Meloney ran through the jagged under brush, ducking under low branches and sweeping around tree trunks. She could hear the harsh panting behind her. She looked over her shoulder. Meloney could have sworn the creature had glowing red eyes and crimson stained teeth. The creature launched, missing Meloney by less then inches. Meloney broke through the edge of the forest. Another growl. A low growl. A snap of a twig a flash of white. A launch.

                 

                “Ahhh”! Screamed Meloney. Meloney just woke up from the world’s most terrifying nightmare ever. Her parents came barging in, “What happened?!” They said at the same time. “I d-d-d- don’t know” Stuttered Meloney “Of course you know. You’re the one who yelled!” Scolded Meloney’s mom. “Meloney, just tell us what happened.” Meloney’s dad said soothingly. Clearly her dad is nicer than her mom. Shouldn’t her mom be nicer than her dad? I mean she’s a mom, right? But whoa-hoa not this family it’s all upside-down and back-words. “See this is why I’m a daddy’s girl. Because you always yell at me!” Screamed Meloney with tears in her eyes. Then Meloney pushed her parents out of her room and slammed the door. “Told you our daughter isn’t a morning person” Meloney’s mom told her dad. Meloney sat her sweaty self on her sweaty bed in her now sweaty room. She looked up at the moon then it went behind some clouds or so she thought until she felt claws on her back and hot breath down her back. It was the creature from her dream.

Now Greg is dealing with the third school season. Not many things have changed but now Greg older and not really found any other friends but Greg has a crush on a girl  who doesn’t even know him. Greg has still always been a lazy bum and still is. But when his dad threatens to send him to the military school he realizes he better toughen up or get shipped out.    Don’t read this book until you are in 3^rd grade and try not to turn into a book worm.   

                                                                Have fun J

Mrs. Neal's Top Ten Middle Grade Books

Mrs. Neal’s Top 10 Middle Grade Books

 

10. Spilling Ink by Ellen Potter and Anne Mazer

Genre:  Non-fiction

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves to  write fictional stories. It even helped me with the book I’m writing.

9. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit

Genre: Fantasy/Historical Fiction

*sigh* This is one of my FAVORITE read alouds! This book is such a magical story and written beautifully.

8. Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

Genre: Realistic Fiction

I heard about this book last year, but didn’t get my hands on it until a couple of months ago. The writing in this book is beyond astounding. The way she melds her words together, sounds like music, it has such a rhythm. Melody’s story is a sweet, yet eye opening one.

7. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

Genre: Mystery

This was such a fun and interesting read that kept me on my toes the entire time trying to figure out WHAT in the world was going on. The fact that the book ties in with one of my other very favorite books, A Wrinkle in Time, doesn’t hurt it either.

 

6. Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins

Genre: Fantasy

Suzanne Collins is one of my favorite authors. She is capable of creating a fantastical world that I could actually imagine being a part of. Gregor the Overlander is an amazing book that kept me turning the pages furiously.

5. Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt

Genre: Historical Fiction

There is this pitiful misconception that historical fictions are boring and not a lot of fun. This book totally and completely breaks that stigma. Holling Hoodhood is a hilarious character that you can’t not like, and his teacher, Mrs. Baker, would be your worst nightmare as a student, but my hero as a teacher.

4. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Genre: Science Fiction

It is hard to put into words how much I adore this book. It is a strange, crazy world full of time traveling and an enormous evil brain. What’s not to like about that?? I know I’m a bit of an eccentric reader, but I can’t understand why more kids don’t fall in love with reading because of this book.

3. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

Genre: Historical Fiction

*sniff, sniff* This book has such an amazing story, doubled with incredible writing. The author lived in the Ozarks where the story takes place, so his descriptions are so detailed, you can picture it in your mind easily. It is a longer book and at times hard to get through, but the ending is a beautifully tragic one that makes me cry. Every. Single. Time.

2. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

Genre: Fantasy

I adore this book. This book and its characters evoked more feelings out of me than any other book I’ve ever read. And that says a lot. Reading it is an emotional rollercoaster, but in the end, the theme of the story is what left me in awe of the author.  

1.  The Giver by Lois Lowry

Genre: Science Fiction

I read this book when I was younger and did not fully appreciate the book until I was in college and read it again. Even then, I didn’t get the full meaning out of the book until I read it when I was in my early twenties and teaching. The reason this book is number one on my list is because I could read this book a hundred more times and still find new meaning and understanding each time I read it. Lois Lowry set the standards for dystopian/utopian literature with this book and is the inspiration for why I write today.
