Hello Ms.Ackley I really enjoyed my book it was very fun and interesting it also was very mysterious. It was all about these kids who played a game based on Eygpt and strange things happened to them but at last they figured everything out and it started to sound reasonable.

He, unlike most people, befriended the Indians instead of avoiding them. Daniel explored many places. He survived the Indians of Kentucky. He even formed a colony there. I got this information from a biography of Daniel Boone that also won a Newbery Honor Award.  The book, though being rather short, gives quite a lot of information. It is in words that a kid our age an understand, and is a truly great choice if you are interested in this time period.

I chose this book because at a soccer camp during lunch we watched the movie. The book was happy and sad at the same time because it tells a story about a boy and a girl who made a imaginary land called Terabithia, but it was sad because the girl falls off the rope and drowns. I liked this book and would recommend it to others.

A Winkle in Time is an adventurous book, and a book where you wonder what’s going to happen next. The characters are Meg, and Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O’ Keefe. They were of to a mission to save the world from the “Black Thing”, and to save Meg and Charles Wallace’s dad. On their adventure, they were guided by Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Witch. They also had many problems, like Charles Wallace getting captured by IT, which was another dark thing, and Meg almost getting caught by the “Black Thing”, In the end despite the problems they faced and the obstacles to overcome, they were able to finish their mission they were put to, and bring home their once missing dad, and save Charles Wallace.

The One and Only Ivan is about a gorilla living in a strip mall.  His friends are happy there but when Stella the elephant passed away and Ruby arrives things are much different.  Ivan loves to paint he loves it so much that he and Ruby get to live at the zoo.  I would give it 9 out of 10 stars, would read again.

I've been reading a book called Mrs.Frisbie and the rats of NIMH. So far they're collecting food for the winter from the leftover human crop. Mrs. Frisby is a widow rat whose husband passed away last summer. Thankfully through luck and hard work mrs. Frisby was able to keep her family and four children happy and wel-fed, January and February where the hardest month. Then one day at the end of February Mrs Frisby's younger son Timothy fell sick. And that is all I've read so far in the book. Thank you Alexa Jordan ]]> 2019-07-12 22:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/371009814 https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/371226909 Dear Ms. Ackley,

The first book I chose to read is “Hello Universe”, by Erin Entrada Kelly.  I chose this book after reviewing several book at the book store!  The book Hello Universe is about four unique characters that over time become better and better friends.  The first of the friends (Valencia) is deaf.  The second friend (Kaori) is a fortune teller. Then (Chet) is a bully. And lastly (Virgil) is the shy and quite one. I’m about halfway through the book. And also have my second book picked out.

I have been reading a book called "The Girl Who Drank the Moon", by Kelly Barnhill. The book is about a old woman named Xan who everybody thinks she is a WITCH. She gets babies/ infants from places where there former parents put them, such as gardens, trees, or by the river. She would take the babies/infants and raise them to be respectful and loyal. Once in a while she would get a infant/baby and say that they are one of the "Special Ones", Which didn't happen often. Thats all I got from reading my book.

The first book i read was called "Because of the Rabbit" by Cynthia Lord. The book was about a girl named Emma and she found a bunny in one of her neighbors fence. Emma and her dad went to save the bunny (her dad rescues animals). Emma had never went to school in her life because she was home schooled. Her brother Owen was home schooled but he went to public school 4 years before, so Emma wanted to go. So Emma went to public school in 5th grade. I have a second book picked out.

I love to read but sometimes need help, so my mom chose the first book because she thought it would be a fun and easy read. It was, and I finished it in one day! I liked how the book points out how there are so many beautiful things around you. When the main character complains about the things around him, his Grandma helps him see whats good. In the end, he learns to appreciate the things around him. ]]> 2019-07-25 22:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/372320103 https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/372401928 Dear Ms. Ackley,
This summer my first book I read was El Deafo, written by Cece Bell. The main charater name is Cece. When Cece was little she got sick and lost her ability to hear. Instead of letting being deaf a disability she made it a abilty with her hearing . When she was in class it was hard for her to hear with her original hearing aid, so she got  a  more powerful one. That her teacher can wear something that connects to her hearing aid. She can hear WHATEVER her teacher is doing. In this book she challeged with growing up deaf and finding the right friends.

The first book I read was "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen. I chose this book because it is interesting to me and my friend Addy suggested it for me. The book is about this kid named Brian Robeson who went on a plane to visit his father after his parents divorce. The pilot had a heart attack so Brian had to control it  but they went off course and crashed into the water. After that Brian has to learn to survive by himself. By the end of the book he starts to learn to use his tools including the hatchet that he got from his mom. I like it because it is adventurous.   ]]> 2019-08-02 15:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/373071481 https://padlet.com/teachersdesk6/summernewbery19/wish/374030079 Dear Ms Ackley,

The second book I read was called "Shiloh" By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I chose this book because I love reading about dogs. This is a great book that shares about a boy named Marty that saves a dog he called "Shiloh" from an owner that didn't treat his dog with respect. Marty protected Shiloh from his owner name Judd Travers.  I like this book because it talked about how being truthful to people is very important when bad things happen to animals. Marty ended up earning the dog from Judd and getting to know him as a person. Even though the beginning was sad and hard for Marty, at the end there was a happy ending. Everyone was happy including his family, Shiloh and Judd.

The Wednesday Wars, By Gary D Schmidt is the book I chose to read this summer. It's a funny book about a boy named Holling Hoodhood. He had a teacher named Mrs.Baker. She didn't like Holling in the beginning, but towards the end of the book they both liked each other more. Mrs. Baker gave Holling  150 questions about Shakespeare and he didn't like the tests. Holling had many crazy things happened to him throughout the book, like getting hit by a bus and the school's pet rats escaped into the air vents.
This book has been fun to read!

Dear Ms. Ackley, I have read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I like this book a lot because it has adventures and hunting skills. I love reading this book because it teaches you how to survive in the wilderness with no electricity or WiFi. 
Hatchet started with the boy  in a plane on his way to his father. Suddenly his pilot had a heart attack and the plane started going down. He landed in a lake and survived the crash. Later on he found food and shelter. But as he was eating berries he saw a bear and he stood in shock and the bear walked away.  A few chapters later there was a turtle that lay eggs next to him while he was sleeping. The next night there is a porcupine and he tried to throw the hatchet but the porcupine released its quill’s and it hit his leg and the quill’s went deep into his leg. The next few chapters was about him surviving with berries. He started to get hungry and made a bow. He did a test shot and the bow broke. The next morning he made a better bow and the test shot worked. He could finally hunt things. The next night he went to hunt fish in the lake his plane crashed in. So he learned how to hunt fish, rabbits and birds. And he stayed like that for a while. He learned to survive and Eventually he got rescued and got reunited with his family once again.

So one night he went diving without his dads permission and found the Pearl Of Heaven, he brought it too his dad and his dad said it was worth a fortune and was still mad he went out without his dads permission. And the next few weeks he brought people in to bid for he Pearl. One night there was a terrible storm and his dad had passed on. People say that it was the Pearl that had brought bad luck. But the next day there was another storm. And another. Everyday there would be a storm and that’s when he knew it was the Pearl. He had to return it. One night he went out on his boat and a shadow appeared and he saw it was one of the people who were bidding on the Pearl. He tried to run but the guy was faster and had a knife. He had no where too go. The man wanted him to give them the Pearl so he did. Then they went out too dive again. So he got up secretly, took the Pearl and jumped off the boat and returned it. He swam too shore, told the police and the man got arrested. He then lived a great life.

I also read "A Wrinkle in Time" By Madeleine L'Engle. 
This book was just O.K. to me. It was about time travel which they call a "wrinkle". They use math to travel in the 5th dimension which is the Tesseract. Over time they were able to save Mr. Murray from the Black thing. They needed help from Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which. 
See you guys in class !
