To My Student,
This is your opportunity to make suggestions for the next class read aloud. I would like it to be a different genre than what we just read, so let's avoid realistic fiction if we can.
Respond with ideas for the next read aloud. I will look over your ideas and pick some for a class vote.
I am excited to hear your ideas!
Mrs. Sutton

In forth grade, I read "Sideways stories from wayside school," by Louis Sachar and the book is actually a lot of stories in one book about a lot of different people. For example, the first chapter is about mrs. Gorf, a very mean teacher who has big ears and every time a student gets a question wrong, or sneezes or coughs or says anything, she wriggeles her ears, first the right, then the left, sticks out her tounge, and turns her students into apples! it a very good and funny book. I really hope you read it to the class.

ReplyDeleteTo Mrs. Sutton,
ReplyDeleteI think our November read-aloud should be 'The Shadow Thieves' by Ann Ursu.
"Something extraordinary is about to happen to Charlotte Mielswetski (Meals-WET-ski).
It's not the very cute kitten that apears out of nowhere. It's not the arrival of her cousin Zee, who believes he's the cause of a mysterious sickness that has struck his friends back in england. And it's not the white-faced, yellow-eyed men in tuxedoes who follow Charlotte everywhere. What's so extraordinary is not any one of these things. It's all of them.
When Charlotte's friends start to get sick, Charlotte and Zee set out to find a cure. Their quest leads them to a not-so-mythical Underworld, where they face Harpies that love to rhyme, gods with personnel problems, and ghosts with a thirst for blood.
Charlotte and Zee learn that in a world overrun by Nightmares, Pain, and Death, the really dangerous character is a guy named Phil (philonecron). And they disvover that the fate of every person-living and dead-is in their hands."
From "The Shadow Thieves"
