Hi there,

I wish I had more time to read at home, but it was funny over this weekend I found myself thinking about __Hiding Out at Pancake Palace__. I was thinking about what would happen next and I'm getting really excited to finish it! This is what happens when I get hooked into a book! I wasn't sure I loved this book at first. At first, I thought Cecilia seemed strange (alright, she IS strange) and I wasn't sure if I would like her as a character. I have found that if you don't like the characters in a book, it can make it very hard to want to keep reading the book.

This happened to me last year when I read aloud my class the MCBA, __The Lost Treasure of Tuckernuck__. Did you read that one last year? The female main character of that book was Laurie, and she was quite unlikable! She was snobby, kind of nasty, and altogether kind of tough to tolerate. It took a little while but class and I really go into the story and soon I better "understood" why Laurie acted the way she did. We liked the book so much, we decided to immediately read the sequel, __The Magician's Bird__. Reading that was easy because we already knew and understood the characters. Do you find that you like to read sequels or books in a series because she kind of already know a lot about the characters?


 * Feel free to tell me about a character in the book that you just read/or are currently reading**


 * Back to Cecilia- so at the beginning she seemed strange, but now I find myself feeling sorry for her. She is lonely and kind of an outcast. I'm sure it's not easy to be her- and it definitely feels like she really wishes she had friends. On page 125 it says, "It wasn't like Cecilia wanted to be friends with Natalie. All she wanted was to wave and have them wave back." It's such a simple thing- you don't realize how much it might mean to someone just to be friendly towards them.**


 * What are your thoughts on our read aloud?**


 * Your friend,**

 * January 3, 2015**
 * Hello Team 7-**


 * Welcome back from vacation!**


 * I found myself thinking about our new read aloud during this break. I always get excited when I'm reading a new book out loud to my students that I also haven't read.**


 * Several of you were talking to me about your book talks before we left for vacation. I know specifically people were wondering about how to figure out a book's "theme" or "author's message". This sometimes feels like it will be hard, but might not be as tricky as you think. Think about what the author is trying to teach you, the reader, through the story; what big life lesson do they want you to know. One of the themes in __Silverwing__ is teamwork, or believing in yourself.**


 * What do we think might be the message in __Hiding Out at Pancake Palace__? Let's think about what we know so far. Elvis is cutting off and coloring his hair- something he is famous for and he has to hide away from the world because of this embarrassing thing. I wonder if the message might be something about "being true to oneself" like don't be pretend to be something else, be who you want to be. I'm also wondering if Elvis really wants to be this famous star- or is this something his dad really wants? Again, since I'm reading this with you guys I'm just guessing (speculating)**


 * I don't think we know as much about Cecilia yet- but I predict she and Evis (Aaron) are going to help each other in some way. She wants to find out if the trees sing- he likes to sing. **


 * Guess we will read more and find out!**

 * hi Mrs. P**

 * Hi Jess-**


 * As Christmas approaches, I often like to reread some favorite holiday themed books from my own childhood. When I was your age and a little younger, I loved to read __The Little House on the Prairie__ series. These wonderful stories are from the childhood of the author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, as she grew up in the late 1800s in places like Wisconsin, Kansas, and eventually the Dakota Territory (today South Dakota). This time of year can be so busy and crazy and I always enjoy seeing how simple this pioneer family made their holidays. Sometimes we get so caught up in "buy, buy, buy" or " I want" that I really like reading these descriptions of the simple food and presents that they had and the happy holiday they created as a result. Here is a quote from fifth book in the series called,**
 * By the Shores of Silver Lake. Chapter 19 "Christmas Eve"-**


 * "It had snowed all day and soft, large flakes were still falling. The winds were quiet so that snow lay deep on the ground, and Pa took the shovel with him when he went do the evening chores. **
 * "Well, it's a white Christmas," he said **
 * "Yes, and we're all here and all well, so it's a merry one," said Ma **
 * The surveyors' house was full of secret. Mary had knitted new, warm socks for Pa's Christmas present. Laura had made him a necktie from a piece of silk that she found in Ma's scrap bag. Together in the attic, she and Carrie had made an apron for Ma from on of the calico curtains that had hung in the shanty. In the scrap bag they found a piece of fine, white muslin; Laura had cut a small square from it, and secretly Mary had hemmed the square with her fine stitches and made a handkerchief for Ma. They put it in the apron pocket. Then they wrapped the apron in tissue paper and hidden it under the quilt blocks in Mary's box." **


 * Descriptions like these really help me imagine what it would have been like to make gifts like Laura and her sisters did. Life was very different then.** *But when you read the descriptions of the family making and eating their meals and celebrating, it makes you as teh reader feel like maybe life isn't that different after all.

When I want to read these books, I usually pull out my little paperback set of all the books that I bought in book order when I was a student teacher. I was recently excited to discover __A Little House Christmas Treasury: Festive Holiday Stories__ was published. This is one book that contains all of the holiday stories from the author's different books. Perfect!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family.

Your friend, Mrs. P

Hi Mrs.p

Charlie Bumpers vs. The Teacher Of The Year This book was OK but I hate when teacher is the bad guy. If I would teacher I shouldn't be too mean and Charlie bumper should be nicer to the teacher and not say how did this teacher be the teacher of the year. At first the book was like so boring but it got kind of exciting then at the middle The ending it was really good but Charlie bumper is kind of mean to his teacher and the teacher is going his teacher is going to be mean because he chose bumper is feeling mean to his teacher I think when Charlie from the said why did this teacher get pick for the teacher of the year. If I was Charlie bumper I will be really nice to the teacher and don't care what she says mean things. From your student Jessica l.u PS when are you going to write me back.

Hi Mrs.P. I did recently reading Percy Jackson the lightning thief. Percy Jackson is the main character of the lightning thief. Zeus is lightning got stolen so Percy Jackson got blamed so he had to get the lightning back .The gender of lightning thief is fiction because Zeus and the Souter God is just a mith. I loved Percy Jackson the lightning thief was so exciting and it always pulled me in at the back of the story so I am going to read the whole series of Percy Jackson.if I wore Percy Jackson will not let them accuse me.if I wore Percy Jackson will not let the accuse me. From your student Jessica to Mrs.P

October 2, 2015 Hi Jessica-

Thanks so much for your first letter.

I'm so glad that you have enjoyed listening to Silverwing- so much so that you went and got your own copy to read. I hope you won't give away anything you read to your classmates, but i'm curious to ask you about some of things you read ahead.

What did you think when Shade and Marina flew into the sewer and met the rats?

At home I've been dragging my feet reading Elvis and the Underdogs. I hate to abandon books and know that I will feel better

September 10, 2015 Dear Jessica,

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
