Your comments should be kind, polite, and reflective. It is ok to express your opinion, but please be polite and "Seek First to Understand". If you comment, your comment must show that you read the book, as well as what you are commenting on. This means your comments should be thoughtful sentences, not just "Cool" or "I disagree". Explain what you feel and why. Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Morter will be reviewing ALL comments before they post, so they will not immediately show up.
Always remember, when you publish to the web, you are on display to the world. Please remember the following guidelines:
- Use complete sentences.
- Capital Letters where appropriate
- Use punctuation!
- U R not txting. Pls DNT Abbreviate!
- Check ur spelling before you publish. (I hope you caught that one!)
The first book we will be reading is The Kid Who Became President. We will read this together in Intervention time. Occasionally, we may assign some for homework, but this book will be primarily read here at school, so keep your book at school. We will read one or two chapters a day and then you will be asked to respond to a question on the blog (with a THOUGHTFUL) answer! We need to see proof that you have read!
You will be graded on your blog participation. You must respond to each question posted on the blog (one per chapter). If you fall behind, you will have to catch up and continue reading and responding on the blog one per chapter. You may also get on this blog at home!
You may also choose to respond to other people's comments, as long as they are thoughtful and worthwhile. For example, don't just write "Cool".
Instead write something like, "Sally, I thought your comment was cool. I agree with you. I also believe that Judson Moon is an excellent candidate for President. However, I think that it would be silly for a kid to be President. I mean, what do kids know?"
Now that you have read all the expectations and guidelines, please comment below with one activity, lesson, project, or book that you loved this year from any of your classes! GO!

DeleteMy favorite book was The Mysterious Benedict society and my favorite subject is sience.
ReplyDeleteI like what we are doing in social studies. And what we already did in social studies. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteOne of my lessons that I liked was when my class did a project where you had to illustrate a spelling word and I did commotion. It was really fun ! I loved doing that !
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a great idea to do the blog! It lets kids speak silently. I think that I am going to love this book!
ReplyDeleteMaybe who knows you may or may not like this book.
DeleteI think that "The Kid Who Became President" will be a good book. I have read "The Castle in The Attic" in Intervention last year. It was really fun and the book was really interesting. I think that the book will be exiting and that we will do well on the test also. "The Castle in The Attic" was about a kid who's dad left him and his present was a castle with an action figure- an Indian. Something makes the Indian come to life and he becomes the boys best friend. At the end of the book, the boy has to give the castle and the Indian away because he has to leave to go to New York. (I think)
ReplyDeleteI liked the ''The Castle In The Attic'' too! The A.R test was challenging though.
DeleteThe Castle at night sounds good. Was it good?
DeleteI read that book too it was a really good book
DeleteI haven't read it yet it sounds good and wired.
DeleteThat sounds like a good book

Delete:0
I think the kid that became President will be a good book.I think that the book will be about someone made up a voting thing and the kids will vote for the other kids that want to be president and the kids will vote for one person and maybe things go wrong.
ReplyDeleteGood thiking Kaylynn I was sort of thinking the same thing
DeleteGreat idea kaylynn you are so smart
DeleteI loved the book the Girl That Could Fly,John Henry and holes.
ReplyDeleteThe Girl Who Could Fly was kind of scary, but it defiantly had strong literature.
Deletemy favorite books where dethly hollows and eagle strike, they are good books.
ReplyDeleteI liked the book 11 Birthdays,Holes,The name of this book is secret and Dork Diaries and the not so graceful ice princess.

DeleteYou haven't even read it all yet Zane.
DeleteI like the lightning thife series
ReplyDeleteDirey of a wimpy kid
Harry potter.
I do like Harry Potter and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
DeleteThe reading book that i like this year is the John Henery book. Because it shows that you should never give up because that steam drill was much bigger than John Henery. Even though he was far behind the steam drill to him he was a winner and he worked so hard for his friend and his wife his heart had burst because he didnt loss faith IN HIM SELF
ReplyDeletemy favorite books where deathlyhollows and eagle strike,they are good books.
ReplyDeleteA book that i read this year was called A girl named Eve .I did not read the whole book .I got broad so i stopped reading it when you start reading a book then you say to yourself and you don,t like that book tell the teacher that you don,t like that book they will understand you .
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is The Throne Of Fire. I like the book because I like magic books. They have a lot or gods that I do not know.
ReplyDeleteNo because he wouldn't know what he was doing.
ReplyDeleteI would not want a kid as a president they wouldn't know as much as an adult and could probably start something bad like a war but I can't believe they would vote for a kid though.
ReplyDeleteI would NEVER support a kid as president. They would have no idea what to do with the money.Everything would confuse them.All of the fancy words and responsibilities would be too much for them.
ReplyDelete:)
I think The kid who became president is a good book.
ReplyDeleteSo you've already read it?
DeleteI think it will be good to Jonathan.
DeleteYes,He wouldbe first 13-year-old president.
ReplyDeleteZane why are deathly hollows and eagle strike good books. I hope to read them someday. They seem very interesting. I also like that we can tell our favorite books to everyone. I can already tell this book is going to be good.
ReplyDeleteThe word that stood out to me the most was depression.It stood out to me because instead of saying something boring,for example they could have said stressed.That would have been very boring.
ReplyDeleteI think the best words of advice would be"Think it over".
ReplyDeleteMy favorite word from that chapter would have to be pandemonium.It's a great word to use instead of craziness or commotion.The advise that would help me the most would be "Life is about chances we only get a few good ones.When a good chance comes your way you gotta grab it, or live with the fact that you didn't.
ReplyDelete:)
I think it was a strange request when she told him you may not ask me out or try to kiss me.
ReplyDeleteI think requirement 2 is outrageous.If she is THAT pretty then she wouldn't need unlimited money for beauty supplies.She should have a little money because everyone wants new clothes,but not unlimited money.
ReplyDelete:)
The odd way he decided to ride to the White House was on roller skates.It was probably not a good idea, but it was funny.
ReplyDeleteI read a really awesome series called the heroes of olympus. It's like an addition to the Percy Jackson series with new people and new monsters. I recommend this series to people who like the Percy Jackson books.
ReplyDeleteJudson traveled to the White House on roller blades. I think that was a great idea because, no other president has ever done that before. When i read out loud i always mess up words so i can relate to when he said "we can end peace on earth". I thought that was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Abduction by Peg Kehret. I thought it was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy favoritive is the Ghost Grave.
ReplyDeleteI read that book before and it was a good book.
DeleteNever heard of it.Sorry.
DeleteThe hunger games is awsome!
ReplyDeleteI know right the Hunger Games is awesome.
DeleteI don't really like it and that really isn't appropriate to watch for kids your age.
DeleteI like percy jackson book because I think they are good.
