Dear Students, I have been working hard, but the question is, have you? How many books are you at? Do you have a favorite so far? I completed Refugee, and was not disappointed. I may have cried a little. Since I wrote last, I have read four additional books. 1. The Selection by Kiera Cass 2. Escape From Mr. Lemonchello's Library by Chris Grabenstein 3. Belly Up by Stuart Gibbs 4. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness Three of these books I liked so much, we may read them as literature circle books this school year. My favorite so far though is A Monster Calls because it has a graphic novel feel to it with pictures throughout the book. The artist is amazing. In fact, this book has a movie that goes with it. One of my favorite things to do is read books that have movies to go with them. We will read quite a bit of those type of books this year. I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! What are you doing to stay cool? Love, Mrs. Toothaker |
