Hey Josh, could you try and write your entries on the bottom of the list? It makes it easier to find! What's up with you and Magic Tree House? I had no idea you liked them so much or is it just certain ones? I liked how you used italics here! -Ms. P.
It would not let me -JK


I read Hour of the Olympics for 20 minutes. It made me feel sorrowful because somebody said "We believe in freedom for our citizens but I'm afraid now that means men." It's a great book so far.

Nice quotation marks! -Ms.P
GOOD job. JK

I read Ghosts for 00:25:58:02. It made me feel scared because the whole book is about ghosts like Marie Laveau some people said she could make magic potions, she did voodoo! Another ghost was Jean Lafitte, he was a pirate and a blacksmith. Yes it was in the time of the 1800s.

I read Space for 00:13:36:84. It made me feel interested because the book was about planet's moons.
Jupiter has 61 moons!, Saturn has 31 moons, Uranus has 21 moons, and Pluto only has 1 moon named Charon. Before Saturn had rings this is how it got them, a moon hit a planet, it broke in to billions of pieces, then got in Saturn's orbit, then formed Saturn's rings!

-JK :-)-:
Really? Is that how Saturn got it's rings, JK? I had no idea! When I was a kid, they said the rings were dust particles,then they said they were ice. But, science is always improving itself... Hey, do you know what the Cassini is? It was sent to investigate Saturn and it's moons. Look at the picture below:



My dad was a scientist at Nasa and he actually developed the communication system for the Cassini. Check out this website for more info: Cassini Kids Site
Hey, what's the date for this>?

Hi GC!!! Wow! I'm so proud of you that you figured out how to underline the title of the book! I think you are going to do wonderful things with that new laptop! Also, great job using quotation marks for the text in the book! Do you like space?

I read Ghosts for 00:10:05:89. It made me feel interested because the book said people in New Orleans call their graveyards "cities of the dead" because the city sits between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain because the earth is so soggy, so the dead people are in tombs or vaults. 2-24-10 JK

Hi JK! I am impressed that you used quotation marks in such an interesting way. Could you explain to the class why you did this? I also didn't know that New Orleans called their graveyards cities of the dead. I knew about the tombs, but I didn't know about the nickname. I'm really glad you included the pictures so that I could really understand what you were talking about. You never told me yet- are you interested in me getting more ghost books or would it be a little too much for you? Let me know! -Ms. P.

Hi mp!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm...who wrote this?gc.
Oh! hi! -Ms.P.

Great job underlining the title, GC!! You keep using those quotation marks, too! I'm glad you have chosen to read ahead in your GR book. I can tell how much you like it. Aren't Magic Tree House books cool because they teach you stuff and they are fun to read? Have you checked out the Cassini site I posted above? Do you like it? There is another great website you should check out. See below! -Ms. P.

I read Space for 00:27:33:96. It made me feel interested because the book said Windsor castle is over 900 years old! Windsor castle is in London. People declare the ghost of King Henry VIII groaning up and down the stairs he had terrible sores on his legs and in 1992 a terrible fire burned a lot of the castle it took 5 years to repair. 2-25-10 JK
Wow, you really like that Ghosts book! I actually remember when the castle burned, but I didn't realize it was that long ago! Ok, I found this awesome website of "strange stories" from American South. Some of them are related to ghosts and some are just stories. Some are told orally and some are in writing. I really think you should check it out! See below. -Ms.P.
