Title:Dear Dumb Diary
Author:Jamie Kelly
Date:Monday November 16,2009
I read from page 1 to 23 this week.
Summary: First, I am reading Dear Dumb Diary by Jamie Kelly and it is about a girl who is reading her father's diary and she finds out that he is writing about his children. Then, the girl is running away from home. Later on, she goes home and her family is out looking for her. This book is a good book. The father has been at work for three years straight. Then, she tries to eat ice cream.
Prompt: I like this book because it is very funny and it also has really good pictures. It also is a good book because you can get a good laugh out of the book. That is why I picked this book.

Author:C.S. Lewis
Date:11/16/2009
I read from page 113 to 117 this week.
Summary:First, Edmund is captured at the white witch's house and he is having the worst time ever and Lucy and them got weapons.then,Edmund was cold from riding in the snow.Then the white witch went to Aslan's front door of his palace and some creatures were sitting down on a table eating pudding.Next a mouse told the queen “he has he has he has”and they did not tell her what she want so she bit her lip a drop of blood came out she wove her wand in the air and all of the creatures were stone and the table.Finnaly,they drove away and it was getting more warmer and foggier and the sleigh was not working as well.
Prompt:I choose this book because I knew it had to have more details than the movie because every book has more details than the movie because it was made before it and all of the details won't fit in a movie because it would be to long.

Title: Night of the Ninjas
Author: Mary Pope Osborne
Date: 11/16/09
I read from page 1 to 24 this week.
Summary: So far what I've read this week is Jack and Annie are going to rescue their friend Morgan and she was trapped in Japan. But, Annie was too furious she wanted to rescue Morgan immediately even if it was dark but Jack told her it was 8 o’clock pm and they had to be home by now. After a few minutes Jack saw Annie already at the tree house waiting for him in the woods. They didn’t know that Morgan was trapped in Japan, until they got to the tree house. After a few minutes they found a book that Morgan left to tell Jack and Annie where she left so they know where to rescue her. Soon they were in Japan with two ninjas looking at them! I can’t wait to find out if the ninjas know where Morgan is
Prompt: I chose this book because I have a Magic tree house book and I read it and I felt like that was a really good book.
Hello Ms. Springston,
Fifth grade has been going GREAT! I like how we get to use all the technology for the presentations because if we didn't have that technology we would be having trouble of what to think of and then when it would be the big day we wouldn't know what to do so that is why I like technology because you can do alot with it. I hope that you are having a great time and have a merry christmas.
Your old student,

Dear Mrs. Springston,
In 5th grade, you need to write a writing patch and a reading response everyday. You only need to do patch Monday through Friday but you need to do reading response every single day. The first month in fifth grade was pretty hard doing the patch and the reading response but now, I am totally used to doing patches and reading response. Well, that's it for now.
Sincerely,
Raymond
