Last night I read Ella Enchanted. I don't know exactly where I am in the book but I am kind of towards the middle. Ella has just run away from finishing school and she has just met Slannan, the elf. She stays with the elves for a night and then go's on her way.

Last night I read Ella Enchanted. I'm in the middle of the story. She has just persuaded the ogres to sit still while Prince Charmont's Knights tied their hands and gagged them. Now she is on her way to Uaxyees farm.

Last night I finished Because of Mr. Terupt. The character I want to write about is Jeffrey. He hates school on the outside but on the inside he's just hiding his hurt from everyone. His role in the book is the outsider who is hurt who is always hiding his feelings.

Last night I read Ella Enchanted. The character in the story I'm choosing is Prince Charmont. He is kind and admirable but he is not stuck up in the least. He is a man of courage. I think he is one of my favorite characters.

Last night I read Ella Enchanted. The character I chose to discribe is Hattie. Hattie is uptight, selfish, thinks she's better then others and wears a wig. I don't really like her because she thinks so much of her self, but if she wasn't in the story there would be no excitement.

A reading stradagy I use is I try to pretend I'm inside the story and I'm encountering everything that happens to the characters. For example, in Ella Enchanted, the book I'm currently reading, Ella is in the forest meeting the elves. What I did was I imagined sleeping soundly in a leaf hammock with a canopy of leafs towering above while listening to the sweet sounds of music filling the air and rocking slowly back and forth.

Last night I read Ella Enchanted. A reading stradagy I use is to make connections. Right now Ella is riding a horse to Uaxyees farm for the wedding with Sir Stephen. He is nice and patient but he talks a lot. He talks about his wife and his children and mostly his "wonderful amazing hounds." Then I connected. "Hey, I have three wonderful amazing dogs." And then I could connect with that character so I could understand him more.

Minli asks isn't it strange that she only comes for short visits every once and a while but he said that she's his friend and that's all that matters.

My 1st wondering is if the dragon will be able to fly. My 2nd wondering is, what is Minli going to about the monkeys? My last wondering is if Minli's goldfish will turn up somewhere.

Some figurative language I found was on page 35, "Only when the sky lightened to grey and the sun began to peek over the horizon did Minli sit down and rest against a tall tree." I liked it because it reminds me of my cat peeking over the table while I'm eating breakfast.

I am reading The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snicket. I am on page 161. I am at the part where Klaus figures out that Olaf is hiding out in the "Ersatz Elevator."

Last night I read Because of Mr. Terupt. I'm almost done with the book. Danielle finally tells Anna that her family is against her mom. In class Mrs. Kelley tells everyone that James was leaving the collaborative classroom and going to a " Normal" school. They through a surprise party for James and he made Peter feel better and everyone as well.

Last night I read The Slippery Slope, by Lemony Snicket. Violet And Klaus Baldelaire are racing down the Mortmain mountains because Count Olaf cut the rope in between the caravan and the car. Count Olaf has Sunny in the car and so they can get the HUGE fortune that the parents of the orphens left them. I am at the very beginning of the book.

One of my pieces of figurative language I found was, "His black eyes sparkled like raindrops in the sun when he began a story." This is a simile. One reson I chose this one was because it really paints a picture in my mind. The other piece I found was, "His gentle call drew Minli like a moth to a lit lantern." That is also a simile. I chose it because when I read this I actually picture a moth fluttering near a lit lantern.

Last night I read The Land of Stories, The Wishing Spell. Some interesting vocabulary that Chris Colfer used was... Slimy instead of mushy. Soared instead of fly. Galloped instead of ran. FIN.

Some good word choice I found in my book where slithered and peered. Lemony Snicket used them when the Baudelaire's where sneaking into Madam Lulu's tent.

Last night I read Because of Mr. Terupt. Some good word choice I found was vast, constant and cycle. I think Rob Buyea really makes me want to know the characters in the book. He also makes me want to read all the time. I am on page 235 and I have about 33 pages to go.

I have text to text connections with Julie. She is cautions and is not always as brave as Lydia who is always "jumping in the game." Sometimes I am not up to a big adventure. Also I connect to Lydia because she loves acting and singing. I absolutely love preforming. FIN.

Last night I read The Carnivorous Carnival, by Lemony Snicket. I made a connection with Hugo, the hunchback. My connection with Hugo is that I would be extremely afraid and nervous if someone told me I was going to be fed to a pit of raging lions. In fact I think I would run far, far, far away from that person as possible and never ever see them again.

Last night I read Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea. I have lots of connections with these characters. I think that if I picked a true friend from this book I would want Anna, Jessica, or Danielle to be my friend. Jeffrey really reminds me of a character from Wonder because he had a brother with Down syndrome and he always had to look out for him. Like Auggie's sister in Wonder. My last connection connects Alexia ( Lexie ) with one of my best friends. At first my friend was really unstable but then she realized that everyone liked her how she really was and so now she is really nice. I think Lexie will evolve into a nicer person and people will like her because she is her self.

To add LIKE fractions, you just have to add the numerators to get the answer because the denominators are the same. To add related fractions, you look at the denominators and see the relation between the both of them. Then, depending on what the denominators are, you change one of them so it's the same denominator as the the other. What you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator, so which ever one you multiply you do the same to the numerator. Then you add them together.

The three skills are... Equivalent fractions. Example: One half is the same as two fourths. Comparing fraction/Ordering fractions. Example:4 7ths, 6 7ths, a whole. The third skill is... Reducing fractions to there simplest form. Example: 6 12ths to 3 6ths to 1 3rd.

My book is the Lemony Snicket series. It's the 2d book,The Reptile Room.It's a story about 3 very unlucky children who go through "A Series of Unfortunate Events".I am at the part where
the children are trying to escape from a man who they met in the first book...

I read The Land of Stories, The Wishing Spell. I am at the part where Alex and Conner are wondering where they are when they are actually inside The Land Of Stories. The End.

Last night I read and finished the 6th Popularity Papers book. It was a funny book and after I read it I felt that I knew all the characters like they were my best friends. Last night at the end of the book I read about the "wedding", and no I won't tell you. READ THE BOOK IF YOU WAN'T TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night I read A Series of Unfortunate.I just finished it last night.I liked it because it was an adventure and suspenseful book.One of the things that was interesting was the author,(Lemony Snicket)instead of using hurt,he wrote burned.

I have just started The Land of Story's , The Wishing Spell. I don't really have any strategys or words I don't know yet but I am very excited to read it. I am on page 43.

I just finished the Popularity Papers,The Awesomely Awful Melodies of Lydia Goldblatt & Julie Graham-Chang. It was a very good book about two friends who start a band. Some interesting word chose the author used are intriguing,and contemplated.

I am wondering how the Baudelaire children are going to escape Count Olaf's "Trap"once again...:)

I was intrigued by the way Violet stood up to Count Olaf. I was surprised when Klaus started laughing out of control about the fact they had to eat breakfast with no utensils.

Last night I read and finished The Austere Academy. I am wondering what V.D.F is?
