GRA - Believe in the Possible

We finished reading The 14th Goldfish by Jennifer Holm on Thursday.  It was nearly the end of the day but I wanted to do a quick look at what the 4th graders thought.  Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Right away in the book we met the main character, Ellie, and learned that she didn't like change.  I connected to her instantly.  CHANGE IS HARD.  Ellie's world turns a little bizarre when her grandfather moves in looking more like one of her middle school buddies than her grandfather.  

I was so proud of how Abrham and Garrett read a chapter each and then we watched and listened to the author read the final chapter.  You can listen to Jennifer Holm, too.

This is a story will encourage you to be curious, appreciate science (and scientists), and care about ethics.   As the cover of this fantastic book says:  Believe in the Possible!

A Walk to the Memorial

"We are so fortunate to live in a community that has this awesome memorial."---words by Ryan on today's walking trip.

YES WE ARE!  We are truly fortunate to have family and friends that have served our country and to have a community that recognizes the importance of what those servicemen and women have done.

Tomorrow at 2 is our special Veterans Day Program at school.  It's in Gym #1 at Winskill.  All 4th graders are asked to wear blue.

Another 4th Grade Ghost Story

At The Campgrounds

By Aven

One Friday after school Aven and Auriella rode the bus to their grandparents campgrounds.  Once the bus dropped them off at the campgrounds.  Auriella said to Aven, ‘’ Now let’s run to the camper!’’

Aven said, ‘’Ok. But can we race?’’

“That is totally fine with me,’’ said Auriella.

“READY SET GO!”

 As Aven and Auriella were running they heard somebody following them. The thing following them was saying Brynn B-R-Y-N-N AND Aarica A-A-R-I-C-A.  As children the 2 girls did not want to look back so they just kept running.

Aven said, ‘’I love you Auriella, if you die!’’

Then Auriella said the same thing.  They finally got to the camper and Brynn said, ‘’Are you ok girls?’’ Then suddenly somebody grabbed Auriella.  Brynn, Aven ,and Aarica said,’’What just happened?’’ Aarica did not wait to find out what got Auriella. They heard Auriella crying. Now you will have to wait and see what else I write next time.

         THE END

It's Monday. What Are You Reading?

It's a perfect time to be reading a ghostly tale  like Invasion of the Appleheads.  It tells the story of Katie and Andy and their tour of a new town on Halloween.  Living so close to the apple orchards of Gays Mills and the corn maze at Vesperman Farms, this is a perfect book for any of our Lancaster friends.

When Lucy moves she misses her dad more than usual but she finds a great way to work through it.  She takes photos and enters them in a contest.  This is such a great realistic fiction book.  

Need a quick read?   Pick up any "Click, Clack..." book for a little entertainment.

 

The paranormal (psychic) beings are great this time of year but can be read anytime.  To find out more about Sara Collins and her abilities to see beyond, grab this book and give it a read.

Do you have a great book that you're reading?  Let us know in the comments or on our facebook page.
