your fav student, Casey Manning March 2, 2014 Dear Casey, I am glad to hear that you are reading, no matter where you are! What was Stink and the Stinky Sneakers about? What did you like about it? Were you able to make any connections to the story? Your teacher, Miss Anderson

I was so happy to see you in class on Friday!!! Today I was at my grandma and grandpa's house and I read a book called stink and the stinky sneakers. its a good book and its just right! I hope to FINISH it SOON!!!! cant wait till you start teaching again!!!!!!!! bye.

November 7, 2013 Hi Casey-

Im glad that the class decided we should read __Sunwing__ next. I think it makes the most sense while the characters are still fresh in our minds, and I'm sure that people are dying to know what will happen between Shade and Goth and whether or not Shade will find his father, Cassiel, once and for all! You might remember that at the beginning of __Silverwing__ we had alternating chapters from Shade and Marina's perspective and then Goth and Throbb. I will give you a big hint that things get a little more complicated in __Sunwing__, as we end up having Shade chapters, Goth chapters, and Marina chapters! Lots to keep track of. I will also tell you that Chinook is a much more important character in this book then he was in __Silverwing__.

I have never heard of __Second Grade Pig Pals__, but it sounds kind of cute. What else can you can you tell me about it? Can you use some sentence sleads? Maybe who your favorite character is and why? Maybe you could tell me if you would like to read more books by this authors or in this series?

I would like to recommend some non MCBAS to you if you are interested - let's talk in person

Your friend, Mrs. P

October 17,2013 Dear Mrs. Palmieri

In the book Silverwing I predict that Goth, Throb, Merina, and Shade will get into a fight.I like books like Silverwing.I have recently read the book Second Grade Pig Pals .Its about a teacher....... Well you'll find out if you read it. Can't wait to read more __Silverwing.__ Love, Casey Manning

Dear Casey,

Thanks so much for your first letter. I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying __Silverwing__. I like your observation about Shade and how he isn't afraid to do new things. Do you think that this quality, of jumping in and trying anything, also makes Shade's life a little harder? Can you think of an example of where this happens in the story? I think your prediction is a good one that Shade and Marina won't be eaten by Goth and Throbb. However, they have escaped from them once- the question is what will happen between these four characters before the end of the story?

What have you been reading? I would like to recommend some books to you- what are your favorites? Do you usually like regular kids doing regular things (realistic fiction) or do you like animal adventure/fantasy like __Silverwing__?

Talk to you soon, Mrs. P:)

September 26, 2013 Dear Mrs.Palmieri, My favorite character in Silverwing is Shade because he isn`t afraid to do new things. I predict that Goth and Throb wont eat Shade and Marina. I think Shade and Marina will get away before Goth and Throb eat them.What do you think will happen.I cant wait to #|read more of Silverwing.

your favorite manning casey,

September 26, 2013 Dear Casey,

I am so excited to be sharing __Silverwing__ with you this year as a read aloud. This is definitely one of my all time favorite books, which is probably why I can’t imagine starting a #|school year without sharing it with my class. *The genre of this book is definitely fantasy since I don’t believe that bats and owls have wars or detailed adventures together. I also consider this to be a genre of my own invention- called Animal Adventure. I love the character Shade; he’s one of my all time favorites. *If I could talk to Shade, I would ask him if he thinks it was worth it to break the law and see the sun, especially after what happens to his colony as a result. What do you think of __Silverwing__ so far?

Your friend in reading,

Mrs. Palmieri J
