June 3, 2014 Dear Mrs.P- Tollivers Secret is a very interesting and wonderful book. I cant beleive that Ellen ended up in Amboy instead of Elizabeth town. I am glad she found a way to get to Elizabeth town, I also can't wait to see what happens next. So far I am at chapter 8 and Toliver [ Ellen] is actualy doing really good on this mission. Your Pal, Joelle

Dear Miss Anderson, March 3, 2014 I have gotten to chapter 11 so far and the girls are working on two mysteries now. You already know about the mysterious school cleaner, but now there is a violin thief that has been sending Margaret secret messages and they have already uncovered many clues. They are about to get their third message from the violin thief. The Vanishing Violin is a great book. I love mystery books and they entertain me with all the secret clues and suspects.

Your friend, Joelle

March 2, 2014 Dear Joelle, I am glad to hear that you are reading one of the MCBA books! Have the girls uncovered anymore clues about the secret cleaners? Is this the first mystery story that you have read? Or is this a style of book that you typically enjoy? I personally love books with suspense! It makes reading that much more fun and entertaining. :) Your teacher, Miss Anderson

Dear Mrs. P-

I have started to read another book called The Vanishing Violin and it's starting out as a great book so far. I have almost gotten to chapter two. This book is a really cool mystery book. There is this group of girls called The Red Blazer Girls and they solve mysteries. There school principal asked the girls to solve a mystery. The mystery she has asked them to solve is that someone has been cleaning the school when everyone has gone home. So far they have gone in the basement of the school and have found cleaning supplies on an old book shelf. I cant wait to tell you more about this book as I continue reading.

From your pal, Joelle :)

October 16, 2013 Dear Mrs.P-

Shade is an awsome hero for a lot of reason, one of them is he is a very brave and courous __Silverwing__. Also, Shade is an adventerous bat too.Yes, I am still on The Lost Children. It is a very interesting book, I can`t wait to tell you all about it. I just hope I can finish it in time to tell you about it. From your friend, Joelle.

November 4, 2013 Dear Mrs. P,

We just started reading __Sunwing__ in class.***I predict that Shade and his colony will find Cassiel because it would make the story a lot better and it was predicted by Zephyr in the previous book __Silverwing__. So far in this story, we have seen Shade, Marina, Frieda and even Chinook some of the same characters from the last book.** *After the first section of the book I think that the bats might have turn around and go back to Hibernaculum because of all the owls. I can`t wait to read more of __Sunwing__.

Your favorite fifth grader, Joelle

October 13, 2013 Dear Joelle-

Thanks so much for your first letter- I can't wait to spend an awesome year with you too! I'm so glad to see and hear that you are enjoying __Silvewing__ so much. I like how the author grabs our attention right off the bat; it certainly makes the book more interested. You mention that you think that Shade is a real hero- maybe you can give me some examples of how you think he is a hero?

Are you still reading __The Lost Children__? I haven't read that MCBA, maybe you could tell me a little more about the characters, etc.

Don't forget to update your book log!

Your friend in reading, Mrs. P:)

10/1/13 Dear Mrs.Palmieri, The author got me really interested when SHADE browk the law and saw the sun. I wounder what Shade and Marina will do next,I can`t wait to find out. Shade is a real __hero__ to me.I can`t wait to spend an awsome year with you.

Your friend, Joelle

September 26, 2013 Dear Joelle,

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?

Mrs. Palmieri J
