Color Me Dark

Dear Mrs.Dubnik,
I am reading the book "Color me Dark" I will tell u some of the stuff about my book that I have read so far! In my book so far I have read that at the beginning of my book was about her and her sister got a diary for Christmas! Their mom told them that young ladies should have diaries. During her kinda telling and explaining to me what happen during her everyday life she told me that some days sense she lived right above the place where her dad worked and held funerals they had quite times she told me this kinda because she was explaining how her and her sister had time to make the apron that her and her sister made for their mom for her birthday! Right when their mom opened it and saw it she put it on right away!

sincerely,
Kelsey Frost

The Keeping Quilt

Hi I have just finished reading the book "The Keeping Quilt." The Keeping Quilt is a book based on an immigrant who comes to New York to start a new life. All that she was is able to bring with her is a dress and a babushka. The quilt became to small as she grew on in life, but instead of thrown it away she kept it. The quilt has been passed down generation to generation and it'll always stay that way.
I have to say this is one of my favorite authors I've ever read about and my favorite thing about her is that she has always wrote all of her books based on her life.
I recommend this book to ALL AGES so have fun reading!!!!

Because of Winn-Dixie

I have just finished reading Because of Winn-Dixie today. It was a wonderful book. Kelsey Frost got me to read it by talking about how good it was and sharing some information about it. "Because of Kesley Frost" I read Because of Winn-Dixie!

During the book it has some real emotionally parts in it, from happy to mad and from mad to sad. Some parts you are real happy, like when Opal started making friends, when Opal finally got a dog, and when she gets to hear ten things about her Mom! Then there are some parts that make you feel sad, like when she loses Winn-Dixie (I will let you read the book to found out if he ever was found) and then there is parts that makes you want to rip your hair out!!

This book is written in first person point of view because it talks using the words, I, my, me and other keywords that represent first person point of view.

Things that repeat several times are the words Because of Winn-Dixie. Just about every chapter you will see the words: BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE! Because of Winn-Dixie........................Because of Winn-Dixie....................Because of Winn-Dixie.....................................!

The author uses descriptive words to create images in your head. When she talks about the dog, you can picture a dog exactly like Winn-Dixie. When she talks about her new friends, you can just picture what they look like!

I have no idea what I am going to read next, but I will keep you updated on every book I read!

Sealed with a diss

I just started this book it is a very good book! It is about how the clique girls discover the key to a secret room and they find out a lot of stuff about boys because they have a hidden camera in a class the boys have to take where they talk about what they like in a girl!
Imagery I have is when they see the big tv tht tells them the guys like feelings. Its a very strong image because i would love to know guys feelings.
The characters are Massie,Claire,Alicia,Kristen and Dylan they are all rich except Kristen and she is the only one who is not snobby she is very sporty.
It is a very good book I LOVE it I would recomend it to all girls.



Love Summer :) PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Stranger's Game

I am currently reading a book called "A Stranger's Game." I've only ready about 60 pages but it is a murder/suspense story. A young woman with a very troubled childhood befriends a police officer to get him to help her uncover the murderer of her father. A crime that she was framed for. It is off to an interesting start. I'll let you know how it goes :-) Happy Reading!

Welcome to our class blog!!!

Reading is such an important part of our lives; everything we do requires some type of reading. Sadly many people never make reading a priority. In order to encourage my students to read more and respond to their reading, I am creating this blog. Combining reading and technology, we are going to be blogging about what we are reading. Some weeks I may ask a question for students to answer and some weeks they may get to free write about the book they are currently reading. I'll go first...
