The elf needed help..hey I think that rhymes! Anyways Santa got kidnapped so Garfield needs to save him! His idea was COOKIES!!! The elf was confused. I don't wanna spoil all of it so..The rest is up to you to find it!

 
Dear Mr. Rosenberg,

 

Did you know that earthquakes happen frequently in Japan?

Did you know that there was a war between China and America? Did you know that the Yellow River stretches

all the way to the ocean? A School Atlas would tell you all that, and that’s just what I was reading. The School Atlas tells you about the WHOLE  WORLD! You can learn lots of history in this book.

The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups by David Wisniewski

Reading Response by Sydney B. 

 

 It was a story of real people and other things. It was also fake incidents. For example, there was a real story about cleaning under your bed and how it keeps it tidy. That was the real part. The fake part was about “killer dust bunnies”!! This part said dust bunnies from around the world actually become animals. I recommend this book because it is adventurous!

Math Game Two

 

I was just reading Math Game Two. It was about three people who were trying to save Alice from the evil math king.

 

The three people were named Sam, Jimmy and Colby. In order to save Alice they need to pass all the gates. Math Game Two was a lot of fun. It was published at 2005.  I got it at the library.

 

It was cool and it had action!

When I Live with Bats  by Faith McNulty

I read about this girl when she used to think things about bats but they are not true.  She found it out when she stayed at a place for the summer where bats live.

A bat is a mammal and sleeps in day and is awake in the night. They use echolocation. Echolocation is when a bat says a little noise so small you can’t hear it and if there is a thing the sound goes back and they know something is there. Bats use their eyes for seeing in the day.

“My Secret Unicorn: The Magic Spell" 

 What an enchanted book! Thanks Linda Chapman! You make everything in this book sound so magical! This book is about a girl named Lauren. Lauren and her mother, Mrs. Foster, go to a horse and pony sale. Lauren finds a beautiful gray pony, with secret powers she doesn’t know about that she has to discover. Mrs. Foster buys it for her and his name is Twilight. On her way home from buying some pony supplies, Lauren finds a bookstore that looks interesting, so she and Mrs. Foster take a look inside it. Lauren looks over by the children’s books’ area and finds a group of pony books that she wants. Then, the bookstore owner, Mrs. Fontana, gets a little footstool and uses it to reach an old book on unicorns and Lauren now wants this book, but Mrs. Foster says it’s to much money. Mrs. Fontana, however, gives it to Lauren as a welcoming present to Granger’s Farm. Lauren was so thankful that as soon as she came home, she started reading the book. She tries to find the secret spell to become a unicorn, but she can’t find it. Then, Twilight nuzzles Lauren and then he blows air out from his nose, but before Lauren could turn back to her page, Twilight does it again! Leaving Lauren with only the back cover and the page glued to the back cover. Twilight blows again, making Lauren see the little flap of the last page. She pulls gently on the flap and the page opens! She reads it to herself and discovers the secret spell! She then uses that spell to Twilight, but nothing happens until a purple glow flashes everywhere and something amazing happens! Find out when you read chapter nine of “My Secret Unicorn: The Magic Spell."
