Check It Out

Letters to me were delivered last week from Ms. Padden’s class.  Students offered up books that should get an award.  Here’s the books they nominated.

Janel likes Katie Kazoo Christmas.  It is funny and you know what the characters are thinking.

Kylie recommends Number the Stars.  She learned about the plight of the Jewish people and agreed that it should have won the Newbery Award.

Andrew S. loves the suspense of On the Run (6), he also loves the humor in it.

Brady is reading the Ga’Hoole series and thinks The Burning is the best so far. He says “it keeps you on the edge of your seat”.

Ben also read the Ga’Hoole series and is impressed that is is on the NY Times best seller list.  He loves reading about the life and war of the owls.

Another fan of the Ga’Hoole series is Joshua.  He says “This series helps people understand what teamwork is all about and you get to see it through the eyes of a young barn owl.:

We do not have Twilightin the library by Mikayla has been reading it and “could not put it down”.

Kieera has been reading a Young Readers’ Choice nomination; The Homework Machine.  She could not put the book down and thinks that most kids will want a homework machine.

Dakotah has been reading Where the Red Fern Grows.  He believes the book “shows perseverance, is emotional and love to matter the most.”

Tabbatha loves the surprises in Hatchet.  She loves the survival tips as well as it ” makes you LOVE reading”.

Drew just finished Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  He loves the humor and thinks the main character is a lot like him.

So if you are at a loss as to what to read. Try a few of these books which students feel are award winners in their eyes.

Happy Reading.
