It was hard to figure out who was talking and so that made the whole story hard to read. But when I was reading it in the beginning a boy named Alex moved and when he went to school he wanted to sit next to two boys and they were mad at him. They were mad at him because the boys had dirt bike trails and when they built the house the boys lost the trails. I didn’t read much more than that though.<br /> From,<br /> Tami LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-62510838013147778072011-01-25T10:46:59.612-08:002011-01-25T10:46:59.612-08:00Dear Mr. Pahl,

Bilbo thinks having an adventure is not fun. One day some dwarves come to his house. 14 of them! They go to his house because in the mines of Moria the dwarves treasures were stolen. Gandalf the grey told them that Bilbo was a good thief and after he finds that out he decides that adventures would be after all. Then the adventure begins.<br /><br /> All the best<br /> RylanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-29612768684303203082011-01-19T10:32:33.935-08:002011-01-19T10:32:33.935-08:00Dear Mr. Pahl,

I also wanted to thank you for all you have done to help your students become some wonderful readers. We love to hear Skye read to us and how she applies several of the tools you have taught your students to make the story so enjoyable. I'm sure I am speaking for all the student's parents when I say thank you for making your classroom experience such an enjoyable environment for our children. I know we will push Skye to read a few extra minutes each night to see you carry out your pact with the kids. :) Pat( Skye's Dad)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-86829031642665135642011-01-18T20:10:41.645-08:002011-01-18T20:10:41.645-08:00Hello Mr. Pahl and students,

Thanks for sharing your thinking about Ghost Dog by Peg Kehret. I haven't heard of it before. Do you think the class would enjoy it as a read aloud? You know how much I enjoy reading books that encourage us to be good humans. <br /><br />What you told us about Rusty reminds me of when I was a kid. I didn't take anyone else's pet, but I did find a kitten in a dumpster near my house. It was very young and very sick. I took the kitten to the vet and had to pay for the visit and the medicine myself. It was really sad because the kitten only lived a couple more days after that. Even though I felt terrible that the kitten died, I was glad to know that I did what I could to help it. <br /><br />Take care of yourself and please post a comment again soon!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mr. PahlMr. Pahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214375301706299614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-11470154311040148762011-01-04T21:34:54.068-08:002011-01-04T21:34:54.068-08:00Dear Kristin,

It is about how she handled it when people would not want to talk to her or be near her because she was different and walked and talked 'funny'. The book changed my life. I began a life-long journey of realizing that underneath it all everyone has a heart, mind, and soul that want to be recognized and valued.

It's about a boy whose teacher encourages the students to be passionate and caring citizens (sound like any other teacher you know?). The boy, Rusty, notices that a dog near his house is being neglected and he wants to rescue the dog. I admire Rusty because he cares so much about the dog and ends up spending his entire savings on dog food and supplies to help the dog, but I'm not sure what he's planning is entirely ethical since basically he'd be stealing the dog from its owner. It's a tough decision and tonight I'm going to spend some time finding out what he decides to do!Mrs. Ackersonhttps://sites.google.com/site/parkviewelemlibrary/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-11923330066649485272010-12-17T16:28:28.786-08:002010-12-17T16:28:28.786-08:00I'm reading a book called Cutting for Stone by...I'm reading a book called Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. It is set in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) and also in parts of India. While reading, I keep going to a map to see where the places are that the author is talking about. Even though the book is fiction, the places are real places, and it helps me to visualize it all better if I can see where they are and what they look like. (I use Google maps and Google images.) <br /><br />Happy reading, Room 12!<br /><br />Kristin, Jack (former student of Mr. Pahl)'s mom)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
