March 7th, 2014 Dear Ms. Anderson, I have been reading: //The Other half of my Heart// and so far it is about two girls (sisters) named Minni and Keira King and entering the Miss Black Pearl Preteen of America. Grandmother Johnson takes them away to participate but soon they realize that their Grandmother has something against Keira. Maybe it's for not getting good enough grades, or something else, but Minni, who has stage fright, doesn't want to compete. However, when Grandmother Johnson shows a liking more for Minni and starts to get angry at Keira for no apparent reason, it's clear that these two different colored sisters must strive to survive their grandmother. And the audience.

March 2, 2014 Dear Noah, I am so happy that hear that you are reading the MCBA books! As we learned the other day in class, your prediction about Summer of the Gypsy Moths was correct. Stella, the main character, has had a difficult life so far. Can you think of any other characters that have had a challenging life? One character that comes to mind in particular is Esperanza. Not only does she experience a tragedy, but her whole life is flipped upside down in the blink of an eye. I hope that you are looking forward to the MCBA celebration! Your teacher, Miss Anderson

February 14th, 2014 Dear Ms.Anderson, I have finished reading about 8 of the MCBA books and used to think that before I read most of Summer of the Gypsy Moths, that maybe something tragic happens that forces them (Angel and... i forget the others name)to come together and over time they become friends throughout that time. I predicted that maybe Angel's parents get hurt or killed and so she becomes an orphan. I also finished reading HERO, a book about a 14 year old learning about all he didn't know about his dad and his dad's father. Lastly, I wish you a happy valentines day and a happy February break!

December 5th, 2013 Hi Coach P. I have finished all of the Guardians of Ga`Hoole books and also finished reading Chomp. In Sunwing, i predict that Cassiel will be in the "torture room". I think that maybe they will be experimenting on them and maybe they will be transforming into humans like when they were in the cabin with all of the banded bats in Silverwing. Another author i think you might like would be Kathryn Lasky. She writes good animal adventure books as well as others like (i think its mermaid i need to check with my sister im helping her read it) realistic fantasy without the cartoons its like real life only it couldn't really happen. Like... Non-Life Non fiction! Lastly, I read about 1/3 of Artemes Foul and so far I think is a pretty good book.

Happy Early Chrismas, Noah Sout signing out

November 7, 2013 Hi Noah-

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've never read any of the __Guardians of Ga"hoole__ but I've always been interested in it. I think I would have a hard time reading it now having read __Silverwing__ so many times and owls being the great enemy! If you like animal adventures, then I have a very lengthy series to recommend to you. It's called __Redwall__- and there's something crazy like 20 books or more in it. I'm thinking you would really get in to the elaborate world of rats, voles mice and more as they go to war. I am also interested in trying to find some books that might be more challenging for you. I see most of your log says "JR" so it would be nice to find something that would challenge you in some way.

Let's talk more in person about this series.

Your friend in reading, Mrs. P

October 16, 2013 Dear Coach,

Im into fantasy and adventure books. One of my favorite authors is Kathryn Lasky. Right now I am reading a series of hers which is :The Guardians of Ga'Hoole. It is about owls and is a fantasy book. You could call it another "animal adventure" book. $ I predict that they will possibly meet up with wolves, since they talk about them a lot. I am into animal adventure books with real content (real animals, stuff that could happen, etc...).

See you tommorow, Noah Sout

October 13, 2013 Dear Noah-

Thanks so much for your first letter. It sounds like you enjoy adventure in stories, if you like the tension of when Goth and Throbb are laying in pursuit of Shade and Marina. What I love about that section is how Shade and Marina had hoped they had been killed by the humans with the darts- but also the dramatic part about the weird "whistling noise" that turns out to be all the bands that Goth stole from the bats and festooned himself with. (***these bands will become important before the end of the story)

I noticed on your book log that you put a few of the MCBAs that you may have read more than a year ago. Don't worry about logging all the MCBas but I do want to see more of what you've been reading since the start of school.

I would love to recommend some books for you- so give me a sense for what are your favorite kinds of genre. Are you into fantasy, adventure, realistic fiction? I have a couple complicated series that I think you might enjoy.

Talk to you soon, Mrs. P :)

October 1st, 2013 Dear Coach, $I like this part of the book because it puts me on the edge of my seat with the tension of Goth and Throbb chasing them.$A question i have about this book is "where is Cassiel?" because Zepher told Shade and Marina that he was a live but didnt know where he was.$This book makes me think about... well... bats and survival.$The author got me interested when they met Zepher, the mysterious albino bat.$Finally, i predict that either at the end, near the end, on in the next book, Shade finds his father Cassiel, will show up.

Your student, Noah Ty Sout

September 26, 2013 Dear Noah,

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?
