February 27,2014 Dear Miss Anderson,

Eddie and Annie did very good in the contest. Eddie made the shot and also ran Mr. Finkle out of business. Eddie,Annie,Mr. Stokley, and Mrs. Ball have bought Mr. Finkles old business with the One million dollars they earned and made a new business called Air Ball Munchies. I have finished this book about 3 days ago. It is very good book over all.

February 23, 2014 Dear SOJO,

I am glad that you are enjoying The Million Dollar Shot. I chose it as a guided reading book for your group specifically because it involved sports and I hoped that you would be able to relate to it! How do you think that Eddie or Anna will do in the contest? Do you think Eddie will be able to do well despite the pressure that he hates so much? I just finished it and I am excited to talk about it in our group!

I hope that you have had a great vacation and I will see you on Monday! :)

Dear Ms. Anderson, I just started reading the book The Million Dollar Shot. It is a very interesting book overall. This book is about a boy named Eddie who entered a contest that got to take a free throw at half time during the NBA finals. This book has two main characters. Eddie and Anna. They are really close friends that met a trailer park playing basketball. I am almost done with the book. I'm on chapter 14 and its getting very interesting. From Sojo

October 28, 2013 Hi Steven-

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__.

Did you end up finishing Peter Nimble? I notice that you also added The Lost Hero to your log. Both of these are super long books, so don't be afraid to pick up a shorter book too. And if you don't need or want to read any other MCBAs, I would be happy to help you pick out some other books that you might like.

Dear Ms Sellers,

Peter Nimble is about a 10 year old blind boy named Peter Nimble, His farther is Mr Seamus. In this story Mr Seamus is the bad guy because he makes peter a slave for stealing cargo like jewels and gold. In peter nimble i have noticed that the auther likes to make creative sentences. I currently like reading fantasy and MCBAs. Overall i am exited to be sharing the book peter Nimble with you.

October 6, 2013 Dear SoJo,

Thanks for writing your first letter. I'm excited to hear that you are enoying Peter Nimble, and am wondering if you could give me an example from the story that shows you that it is Fantasy? I don't know a lot about the characters like Peter, or Sir Tode or Mr. Seamus but maybe you could tell me more about them. Is Sir Tode a person? Is Mr. Seamus the "bad guy" of the story?

What other kinds of books do you like to read? Maybe I could recommend you some

I am currently reading the MCBA book called Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes. Im really really into it, im on page 99. The genre of this book seems to be fantasy. My favorite charctor in this book is Sir Tode. In this book Peter met Sir Tode at the Trouble Some Lake. After reading this book i predict that Peter and Sir Tode capture Mr. Seamus. If i could talk to anyone in this book i would talk to Sir Tode. Overall i think this MCBA is my favorite... Sojo

September 26, 2013 Dear Steven,

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?
