I'd like to write to you about the book I Survived Hurricane Katrina. Its about a boy named Barry and how Hurricane Katrina was coming for Louisiana. The storm forced Barry and his family to evacuate. On the way his sister threw up in the car and were forced to turn around. They braced themselves from the hard rain, but Barry was separated from his family. Barry washed up into a bullies house and his mean dog Cruz was there. He found out the dog was nice and helped it to safety. A lady on a life boat rescued Barry and Cruz. She brought them to safety on a bridge. Barry looked all over for his family. Finally he found them. If you like suspense and nail bitters, I Survived hurricane Katrina is the book for you!

Dear Kyle,

Based on your description IQ sounds like an action packed, suspenseful book! I love finding a book that is so interesting it is hard to put down. Where does the book take place? Have Q and Angela found Malak yet? Don't forget to update your book log with this book and any others that you may have read recently! :)

I hope that you have enjoyed your vacation and I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday!

Miss Anderson

Dear Ms. Anderson

I'm writing to you about the book I,Q. It is an amazing book full of action and adventur

I,Q is about a 13 year old boy named Quest, but Q for short. Its about him and his Step-sister: Angela. Their parents are singers and on tour going to Philidalphia. The Problem is There trying to find out what happened to Angela's birth mother Malak. But the biggest problem is that Malak was an agent so a terrorist named Eban Lavi is involed. There is action, advention, and at the end of eaach chapter it makes you want to keep reading. If you like cliff hangers, nail biters, suspence, and so much more I,Q is the book for you.

Yours truely, Kyle Flanagan

October 31, 2013 Dear Mrs. Palmieri, I'd like to write to you about Perfect Game. But fiirst I'd like to answer your question, yes I am going trick or treating and I am being a Gangster/robber.

Perfect Game is about a boy named Isaac who is a picher for his baseball team. He was so close to getting a perfect game (no men on bases and allow no runs) in his game. But how ever he didn't get one. His coach told Isaac how he coachs a #|basketball team for kids with special ablities. And he wanted Isaac to help out along with his daughter. But that's not all that's on Isaac's mind, he's hoping to make a #|select baseball team "the thunderbolts." He isn't just a hero on the basketball court by helping out, but he is now an amazing player of the thunderbolts. If you like sports and kind citizenship, Perfect Game is the book for you.

Your Favorite #|Student and Yours truely,

Kyle Flanagan

October 31, 2013 Dear Kyle-

Happy Halloween! Are you going trick or treating tonight, what are you being?

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__.

Would like to see you reading some more Challenging books- can I recommend a few for you? I would love to put some in your log above or put aside a book bin for you in our classroom. I'm prettty good at helping kids pick out books. Let me know if you're interested.

Your freind, Mrs. P

Perfect Game Idea's: so close to getting a perfect game, tries again, joins speical basketball team to help out, tries out for the thunderbolts and makes it.

Dear Mrs. Palmieri, I'd like to right to about __Chomp.__ I loved it. It was about a boy named Wahoo. His family is going broke. So his mom travels to Asia to get a job for money. How ever Wahoo's dad is an animal rangler and is coming off a concussion. But he got a job for providing animals for a survivlest show. They also travel around the Everglades with the TV star Derek Badger. But the TV star can be a bit out of hands at times. I think that if you like comedy and interest books, Chomp is the one for you.

October 5, 2013 Dear Kyle- I'm so glad that you and the rest of the class in enjoying __Silverwing__. You have been making some pretty great connections and predictions as we read- keep up the great work! I know that you like to write, so I'm not surprised that you appreciated the author's word choice of "runt" over small. One of my favorite parts of this series are some of the awesome words that are used, and especially the interestingly named characters. The author Kenneth Oppel does a great job picking unique and appropriate names for his characters. We are about to meet two rat characters called "Romulus and Remus". They are brothers- are you a mythology fan, maybe a Rick Riordan fan? If so you might know the reference to these two brothers.

I've seen you reading a bunch of different books around the classroom, so don't forget to update your book log above.

Talk to you soon, Mrs. P

Dear Mrs. Palmier, I love __Silverwing__, it is an amazing fun filled book of adventure and fatasy. I noticed the author put great detail by saying shade is a runt instead of saying he's small. I predict that Goth and Throbb are deffently "playing" Shade and Marina so Goth and Throbb can do something bad to them or their colony. That is what I think and predict about the book __Silverwing__.

September 26, 2013 Dear Kyle,

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
