I think she will be able to find the theif because she will be able to look back into her memory.  Cam has a special gift, when she says "click" she remembers what she sees.  I cannot wait to read chapter 3.

2/24/14 

 Magic Tree House Vacation Under The Volcano ch 5-10

 Jack and Annie got bad news from the soothsayer. The heard that the end is near. Jack and Annie had to think what that meant. When I read the book I made a prediction that it meant they were going to be stuck in the roman times. Annie and Jack found the scroll in a room with tons of shelves.  The ground started to shake and the volcano erupted.  The ground shook and they ran to the olive tree where the tree house was.  When they gave Morgan the scroll she said thank you both would you like to help me again.  Jack and Annie were tired, Morgan told them to get rest and come back in two weeks for the next mission in China.  I’m so excited to read about China in book 14.

I cannot wait to read again tomorrow.   
3/4/14  Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie ch 17-27  I thought the book was awesome. I am glad that Eleanor finally gave Natalie a chance at being her new babysiter.  Eleanor finnaly got a letter from Bibi.  She read it alone. She loved the letter and read it over and over again.  Eleanor put the letter by her bed so that she can read it when she wakes up and goes to bed. I think that Eleanor will have a great third grade year!  
3/5/14  The Pout-Pout Fish   Mr. Fish is a pout- pout fish. He thinks he needs to pout. Another fish gave him a kiss. He was not pouting anymore, he was smiling. Now he is a smooch- smooch fish.  I really enjoyed this book!

3/17/14   Magic Tree House #24 Earthquake in the Early Morning  6-8 Jack and Annie found the poem that Morgan sent them to go get. They got the poem by lending their boots to two children that were bare foot and were bleeding with cuts on their feet.  The boy gave the poem to Jack to say thank you for the boots,  The town was dangerous because the Mayor decieded to set dynamite off in the town so that the fires would stop spreading.  The dynamite did not work.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

By: Dr.Seuss  

I read this book because it is Dr. Seuss's week at school.  This book was funny and cute.  It had a lot of rhyming words.  My favorite part was when they talked about the Zeds. I liked when they said they had to have a haircut every day.  It was funny becuase they only have one hair.  
3/20/14 

Horton Hears a Who!

By: Dr. Seuss  

Horton was trying to protect the town on the speck.  Horton stood up for them even though no one believed there was a town on the speck.  Horton said the Whos can prove that they exist by making noise.  Horton told them "I believe in you." I think this was very nice of Horton that he didn't give up on his friends and that he protected them.  
3/24/14  Knuffle Bunny Too  

I like the pictures in this because, it is a real photograph but the characters are in cartoon form. The setting is in New York City.  I have visited New York City before.  The teacher took the knuffle bunnies, because things did not go well. When the bell rang the teacher gave the bunnies back. But the teacher mixed up the bunnies.

3/25/14  Knuffle Bunny Free  Trixie and her family took a vacation far away. They went to Holland on a plane to visit Trixie's "Oma" and "Opa".  During the plane ride Trixie played, read and slept.  Before Trixie knew it they were there.  When Triexie was visiting with her "Oma" and "Opa" she realized that she didn't have Knuffle Bunny!  She was so sad. Trixie's dad called the airline to ask them to check the plane for Knuffle Bunny, but the plane had already left to China.  When Trixie and her family got on a plane to go home, Trixie found Knuffle Bunny!  Trixie gave her Knuffle Bunny to a baby that was crying on the plane.  Trixie realized that she was bigger now and did not need Knuffle Bunny anymore.   
3/26/14  Daisy-Head Mayzie   This is another Dr. Seuss book, I enjoyed the book!  I think the message of the book is you need to feel loved by your friends and family in order to be happy.  In the story Mayzie grew a daisy on her head.  The daisy made her rich and famous but she was sad because her family was not there with her.   
3/27/14  Love That Dog  

This book is set up like a journal.  The boy who writes the journal is Jack.  Jack doesn't like to write poems because he thinks that only girls write poems. Jack's teacher shared poems by Walter Dean Myers and Jack was inspired by his poems.  Jack wrote about his dog Sky.  Sky was hit by "blue car blue car

                                                                   splattered with mud

                                                                   in such a hurry

                                                                  so fast

                                                                  so many miles to go."

I was so sad when I read Jack's poem about Sky.

3/31/14  Goosebumps - The Beast from the East   This is my first Goosebumps book.  So far I read chapter one and it is not even scary.  The family is going camping in the woods.  There are two annoying brothers, they are twins.  The dad is always yelling at them.  At the end of the chapter the Dad tells the older sister to take the boys to the woods and try to lose them.  She knew that he was just playing but the author gives us a hint that they are actualy going to get lost.  I cannot wait to read more.  
4/1/14  Pop the Invention of Bubble Gum  This book is about bubble gum, and how it came to be. There is a gum accountant that does not know much about gum. He was left in charge of a gum experiment. He learned a lot about gum. He made a gum that can make bubbles. His factory that he worked with sold the bubble gum candy shops. He opend his own candy shop.  He gave gum blowing lessons. 
4/2/14  The Giving Tree                 

This book is about a tree and a boy that love each other.  As the boy gets older, the boy wants more. The tree gives him all that he can, because the tree loves him so much.  I love this book because my godmother gave it to me. When she gave me the book she put a special note in it saying that she will always be my tree.

Goosebumps - The Beast from the East

 Ch 2-4

The brothers and Ginger got lost in the woods.  Ginger pretends that she is not afraid that they got lost.  She thinks she has to be brave because she is the big sister.  They are looking for their mom and dad when they come across a giant footprint, this is what scares them.  They see a huge furry scary looking creator and do not know what it is.  This book is weird and I do not want to read it anymore.  

4/9/14  Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime Ch 1-3  I decieded to read a Junie B. Jones book because my goal is to read the whole series.  This Junie B. is about "Valentimes" day, Junie B calls it "valentimes" not valetines.  Her teachers announces that they are going to make cards the problem is that Junie B. has to make a card for EVERYONE.  Junie B. does not like a boy named Jim and does not want to make a valentine card for him.     
4/10/14 

 Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime

Ch 4-6

I think chapter four is titled "The Disagreedment" because Lucille and Grace disagree about who is going to get the most valentines.  I think it was funny when Junie B. stood on her chair and shouted at others asking who didn't give her a card.  In chapter five, my favorite part is when Lucille cannot believe she has the same number of cards as Grace.  Junie B. only has sixteen, Grace and Lucille have seventeen.  This is why Junie B. got so mad and started yelling at everyone. 
4/14/14  The Girl Who Wouldn't Brush Her Hair   This book was a really good book.  It was about a little girl who did not want to brush her hair and mice started to live in her hair.  At first people at school thought it was really cool and they wanted mice in their hair too. The mice wouldn't let the girl take a bath because they were afraid to drown.  She started to smell and people wanted to stay away from her.  She finaly makes the mice leave becuase her teacher will no longer let her bring her doll to school because she was already bringing the mice.   
4/15/14  3 Little Dassies   This book was similar to the three little pigs because there are three main characters that go out and build homes. The eagle tells the dassies "I'll flap, I'll clap and blow your house in" almost like the big bad wolf told the pigs.  The eagle gets the first two dassies because their houses were not strong also like the three little pigs.  The third dassie was really smart and built her house out of stone and the eagle could not flap, clap and blow the house in.  At the end the eagle was black because he got burnt. The dassies lived happily ever after.
