    Wow, excellent reading. I remember participating in the Sasquatch Awards when I was in 5th grade! You must have pictured what you were reading and thought carefully. Which book was your favorite? I've read Mockingbird, and I thought it was very good. What was Zita the Spacegirl about?
    Nice work! Keep reading,
    Ms. Binderup

  12. Dear 4th graders
    Sadly Sarah and I did not get to be the finalists. But we got to go to Menchies because they gave us a card so we could get frozen yogurt for free! We also got a fruit bar and a bag of gold fish. My little sister was so sad when she found out we were going to get ice cream without her. But mom got her a piece of cake and she was fine. It was very fun to do the Sasquatch competition.
    From, Asher

  13. Dear Mrs. Binderup,
    Zita The Space Girl is about a girl who accidently made her friend get stuck in a different dimension she has to go and save him! My favorite books were Liesl And Po and The Great Wall Of Lucy Wu.
    From, Asher
