In the Car Wash

One day I went back from ice skating. I went to a car wash. It was my first time. It was kind of scary because things keep splashing at my car. We had to go again because it did not clean the rear end. So we went again BUT THE LINE TOOK FOREVER! So my Mom had to go in and call the people who work there. I hope I will come back soon.


Mrs. W's response:
SP did you make this up? Is this your own story?

This story is true. It is real.

Mrs. W:
Thank you!

Dear Hubbie:
How did you feel about getting a book report? When I started to read it was also hard and my problem was like yours and my solution was too. At first you think its hard. When you read more it gets more interesting.

I would say that Goldilocks gets along with the three bears. Then, she talks with the bears and she takes baby bear for an ice cream.

Goblins Don't Play Video Games

Goblins Don't Play Video Games
By: Debbie Dadey, Marcia Thornton
Number of pages: 82

1. What if you were Mr. Goble in the story? Defend your actions and feelings.

If I were Mr. Goble, I would clean every mess faster than a cheetah! I felt angry, sad and miserable when Howie threw gerbile food all over the computer lab.

2. Would you rather live where the story takes place or where you live now? Why?

I would rather live here because if I live in the place where the story takes place there would be a goblin in my city.


Mrs. W's response:
Dear SP:
Did you enjoy this book and why? Did the authors use good word choice? Give some examples.

I liked the book because I like goblins. I like goblins because the goblin pranked Edie by doing funny pranks. I also like the four kids in the book. Out of all the four kids I like Howie because he is smart. T.T.Q.A.
The authors use good word choice like cornered, zapped, hysterically and tarnished.

Mrs. W's response:
Good. Thanks!
