Vacation Reading

Well, boys and girls, it is now Thursday! I can't believe how fast this vacation is going! Unfortunately, I have had a bad case of the flu so I apologize for not updating your posts sooner. I would love to hear about what you are reading over the break. Tell me the title, author and characters you are reading about! I will be checking reading logs when we get back so make sure you are up to date on all your responses!!! Work towards the 25 book campaign!!!!

Also, don't forget the NYS Math test is coming!!!!! Be sure to be working on your math facts! Put those study sheets to work!

Enjoy the rest of the vacation! See you on Monday!

So, now what.....

Now that we finished the book, analyzed the characters, and discussed the different points of view, let's ponder another idea. What do you think will happen next in the story. I would like you to think about writing your own continuation to the story. What do they do? Does anything change? Where would you like to see Jacob, Sarah, Anna and Caleb go? Think about it and comment some of your ideas for how you think the story would continue if you were the author. Try and remember to think outside the box!!!!!! Enjoy your weekend!
