Summer Reading

The 2014-2015 school year has come to a close. One of the best things about summer is time to read! I know I’m looking forward to reading a variety of books this summer. For those students who will be going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade in the fall, we want you to share about your reading here in the comments. All students should read 50 days, you’ve received a paper to record your reading, but I’ll attach a copy that you can print off and record the days, the book title and minutes. Second graders should read 30 minutes for 50 days. Third and fourth graders should read 45 minutes for 50 days. Each student needs to choose 3 books to share in the comments. These can be done at different times, but all comments should be done by August 21, 2015. School starts on August 25! First graders should comment on the First grade class blog and fifth graders on the fifth grade class blog.

Your comment must include your first name and grade, book title and 4 sentences that tell about the book. For example:

Mrs. Hino – 2nd grade. I read Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish. Amelia Bedelia is a funny book to read because Amelia Bedelia does exactly what Mrs. Rogers tells her to do. Unfortunately what she tells her to do usually has a different meaning that Amelia Bedelia doesn’t understand. I understand why Mrs. Rogers was angry, but I think she should have spent time making sure Amelia Bedelia understood the instructions before she left for the day. This is a good book to laugh at and to learn the multiple meaning of words.

Mrs. Hino – 3rd grade. I read Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the U.F.O. by David A. Adler. Cam Jansen is a girl who has a photographic memory. Whenever she wants to remember something she closes her eyes and says “click.” She is always trying to solve a mystery. In this book, she and Eric are trying to take a photo to win a contest. They help to solve the mystery of what appears to be a U.F.O. and some other kids trying to pose photos for the contest. Read the book to discover who is Neptune and how Cam and Eric solve the mystery.

Mrs. Hino – 4th grade. I read Gloria Rising by Ann Cameron. Gloria is a girl who seems to struggle with her teacher at school. One day when Gloria is going to the store she meets Dr. Grace Street, an astronaut. Gloria’s teacher doesn’t believe Gloria and so Gloria writes to Dr. Grace Street and asks her to write back. I felt sorry for Gloria when people didn’t believe her. You’ll have to read the story to find out if her teacher and classmates do believe her in the end.

    I read Mr Putter and Tabby Pick the Pears.
    Mr Putter wanted pear jelly. But he had a problem. Mr Putter couldn’t get the pears out of the tree. He had cranky legs, so he couldn’t climb up the ladder to get the pears. He made a slingshot and used an apple to try to hit the pears down. But it didn’t work. The apples went in Mrs. Teaberry’s backyard and she made apple turnovers, apple pie, apple jelly, and apple cider. Then Mr. Putter got an idea. He would wait for the pears to fall down and then he would get his slingshot and zing the pears into Mrs. Teaberry’s yard. Because he wanted pear jelly.

    I like this book because it was silly.

  2. Sophia-3rd grade I read Cam Jansen and the Chocolate Fudge Mystery by David A. Adler.
    Cam’s real name is Jennifer Jansen but when everyone found out about her amazing memory,everyone began to call her”The Camera”but soon”The Camera”was shortened to “Cam”.Cam and her friend Eric was selling chocolate fudge bars and rice cakes.Cam and Eric saw a women wearing a long blue raincoat and dark glasses.Cam and Eric is going to solve who the thief is.

    I read the book called Pete & Pickles. I like this book because it is funny. The elephant, called Pickles, had lots of ideas for Pete the pig. They swan-dived off Niagara Falls, sort of. They sledded down the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Sort of. They had brunch in Tahiti. Sort of. Pete and Pickles became best friends.

    I read Please, Mr. Panda by Steve Anthony.
    Mr. Panda has a lot of doughnuts to give away, but he keeps changing his mind so no animals who come to Mr. Panda get the doughnuts.
    But we find out that only the mirrkat says “please” and gets the doughnuts. Not only one or two but all of them. The Panda wanted politeness.
    My favorite part in the story is the last part when Mr. Panda says “You’re welcome. I do not like doughnuts”. After all I got to know he wasn’t being greedy not sharing.
    I liked the pictures too. All the animals were black and white but the doughuts were very colorful. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, swirl and sprinkled.
    After reading this book, if Mr. Panda asks me if I want his doughnuts, I’d say “May I please have the pink one, Sir?” I think I’d get it.

  5. Sophia-3rd grade I read Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime by Barbara Park.

The bad news was that he failled the test, and the good news was that there was a error at his account and really, Geronimo had more than 0 dollars in his account. Geronimo was really happy.

  10. Isabelle – 4th grade
    Lately I finished a book called Winter of the Ice Wizard. It was a fantastic and awesome book. I wonder why I have not read this series in first or second grade because the magic tree house series are amazing. It takes place in the winter solstice in the land behind the cloud. The author is the one and only Mary Pope Osborne.
    Jack & Annie were going to the treehouse to get their next mission. Their friends actually gave the message and discover that Merlin lost his staff of power so they went to the land behind the cloud.They find an ice palace and go in and find a man in a throne. It turned out that the Ice Wizard wrote the mission and asked Jack & Annie to ask the Fates for his eye back.They went to the Fates’ house to be told that they sold it to the Ice Giant and to admire it instead of destroy it. The Fates also said if you go to the place where the giant lives you could retrieve the eye. So they did and returned to the palace and and gave the eye and freed Merlin and Morgan Le Fay.They went home happy. The end.

    Today I read a book called magic tree house#15 viking ship at sunrise.by:Mary Pope Osborne. It was pretty cool because it has interesting fact,places and stories. In this one,they travel to ireland it’s a island that civilizations and monks live.
    Jack and Annie are the main characters. They were finding the lost book in ireland when they got there. They found these monks and their lost book. Then they were afraid of these vikings so they jumped into one of the viking ships. They lost both of their oar. Then a sea monster rescued them.They ran to the tree house and point to the frog creek picture and they were home.I learned that vikings are horrible and scary. My favorite part was when the monster saved Jack and Annie.

  12. Yunbyeong – 3rd grade
    I read a book about I Spy Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold I like this book because I like the way fly guy is saying
    (fly guy is always saying z sound). Another reason is because I like hide and seek. Another reason is
    because fly guy’s eyes is so giant. Last reason is because I like tricking (fly guy tricked Buzz).

  13. Daniel – 2nd grade
    I read a book called Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne. It is about Jack and Annie traveling through time to the time of dinosaurs. At the end, they barely run away from T-rex. I liked the story because it is exciting and I like to learn about different kinds of dinosaurs.

    I read Fly High, Fly Low by Don Freeman.
    It is a story about a bird couple, a pigion and a dove, living in a letter “B” in San Francisco.
    One day while the dove was sitting on their eggs, the construction workers came to take down the letters from the building.
    The pigeon the husband was away looking for food.
    The dove clung on to the letter “B” because her eggs were there. The workers noticed the nest and eggs and decided to place the letter “B” on the outside wall of a nearby bakery. The pigeon went on searching for his wife and their two precious eggs. He became tired and weak from searching all over the town. He blamed people, but finally remembered a kind man who feeds birds in a park. The pigeon felt a warm hand pick him up and was put inside a pocket just when he was wishing that the kind man would come and help him find his family. It WAS him!
    I felt sorry for the pigeon when he was in the search of his family, but was so relieved and happy when the kind man helped him. I would love to hold a pigeon in my hand and put it in my pocket so if I were to take a role in this story, I want to be this man.
    The pigeon heard a coo of the dove and they were finally back together. Their eggs were just about to hatch then.
    They lived happily ever after on the letter “B”, the babies on the upper part of the letter “B” and the parents on the lower part.
    I love happy ending stories.

  18. Emma 2nd Grade
    I read Petunia’s Christmas by Roger Duvoisin.
    I wanted read this book because I previously read the book “Petunia” by the same author.
    In this story, Petunia meets a handsome male goose and she falls in love. I thought she was acting differently from the first story.
    Petunia finds out that Charles the male goose was going to be roasted for a Christmas dinner.
    She decides to rescue him. She paints herself into a scary fairytale monster so that the owner of Charles would get frightened and he’d be able to escape.
    It seems to work at first, but the farmer finds them and Charles is back in the cage.
    So Petunia decides to do it in an honest way, which is earning money to buy Charles. Every pound of him.
    She makes very pretty paper angels, paper stars, streamers, Christmas trees and wreaths and sells them in the city.
    People gathers around her like pigeons around breadcrumbs or children around a window full of toys.
    If I were in the city at that moment, I would buy all the crafts she made before anyone takes them because I liked them all! Petunia is very creative!
    Petunia has now made enough money to buy every pound of Charles and a little extra just in case.
    I thought Petunia was very smart because she knew Charles would be fed more and gain weight to be a nicer dinner.
    She takes the money to Charles’ owners, but the good-hearted famers are so touched by Petunia’s devotion that they say “keep the coins for happy Christmas. Charles is free.”
    Petunia and Charles get married on Christmas day. I thought it would make a big feast in the farm.
    They live happily ever after.
    I believe Petunia actually read the book she was carrying in the first story and got smart!

At the end, a guy named Biff went with them to help find the traesure with his dog. Then they found the treasure but it belong to a store.

    The main character was Tim. He had a adventure in a twister.
    In his school, he and his classmates were making a project on weather. Then, Ms. Frizzle came in with a lady named Dr. Wendy Weatherby. After that they went on a field trip. They rode on a twister. It was cool! At last, they went home.

  21. I read a very interesting book today !
    It was called ‘Katy no pocket”
    One of mother kangaroo did’t have a pocket, so it was funny and poor thing!
    Because she couldn’t carry her child Ferry. Then she try to ask the animals but she could’t get any idea.
    And she asked the owl , he told her “Go to the City and get a pocket!”
    And she hurry to the city and she find a man who wore an apron and it had a lot of pockets!
    The man gave her the apron and she wore it.

  22. Yuuna 2nd grade
    I read a book named Stick dog wants a hotdog written by Tom Wtson.
    This book was the longest book I’ve ever read in my life.This book is 220 pages long.
    This is my challenge over this summer break.
    This book is about Stick dog and his four dog friends : Poo Poo, Mutt, Karen , and Stripes trying to get frankfruters: fancy name for hotdogs from Peter a vendor.
    But, the part I liked of this book is about that the author is no good at drawing. So, he draws stickdog and also names him Stick dog.
    I tjought it’s funny.

  23. Mina 3rd grade.

    I read a book called magic tree house 5# night of the ninjas. The main character isJack and Annie. The story is:Jack and Annie went to the tree house and they got to japan to get 1 of 4 things to help Morgan from a spell.
    When they got there,they saw 2 ninjas.The 2 ninjas lead them to ninja master and he asked them few questions such as where are they from or how did they come. Before they leave the master told Jack and Annie 3 things about ninjas:Use nature,be nature and follow nature.
    Suddenly when they past rocks samurais were in front of them so they pretend to be part of the rock and then Jack stood up. A mouse was running so they followed it because they remember ‘follow nature’. It stopped in front of tree house. Jack and Annie started up the tree house and they saw the ninja master in the corner. He gave a stone to Jack. “That must be our first thing.”whispered Jack. “Yeah,lets go home.”Annie answered.
    My favorite part was when Jack and Annie became nature because I think it’s funny to be part of a rock. I learned you can easily hide by pretending to be something else.
    I want to be ninjas because I would like to be ninja when I play hide and seek.

  25. Christopher-4th grade
    In the summer I finally finished a book called Harry Potter and the Prisinor of Asakaban. The author is J.K. Rollings. The story takes place at Hogwarts. There was a news that a prisinor called Sirius Black and he escaped from Asakaban (Asakaban is jail). Harry is trying to find Sirius Black but the Dementers (Dementers are monsters that suck people’s life). Finally Harry finds Sirius Black, he finds out that Sirius Black is not that bad. Harry and Sirius Black shoos all the Dementers. Know Sirius Black is not in Asakaban. You should read this book.

  26. Chajah- 4th Grade
    I read a book called “Little House in the Big Woods” by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is an autobiography about her childhood in the Wisconsin woods. My favorite part of this book is the time at Christmas when Laura and her sister, Mary, greet their cousins and play with them because it reminded me of greeting my cousins and seeing their smiles I couldn’t see on other ordinary day. I think I can understand her feeling of being so excited. I really enjoy this book that Mrs. Wordell recomended me.

  27. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    A boy called Charlie is the main character in this story. He is very poor but is the luckiest boy in the world, because he became the winner of the golden ticket to be the owner of the chocolate factory. He goes to the factory by getting the golden tickets, those are made from Mr. Wonka’s chocolate factory. Mr. Wonka put five golden tickets in his chocolate bars where no one knows, because he needed someone to work his factory after he dies. Other than Charlie, there are four more children picked the golden tickets by cheating. The other four children didn’t follow Mr. Wonka. They all made huge mistakes and had to go back. So only Charlie was left and his family lived together with Mr. Wonka in the marvelous chocolate factory happily ever after. I was happy that Charlie picked the golden ticket and became the winner. I think he deserves it because he is a very good boy and follows the rules. I think the lesson of this story is that good acts make good results.

    So they said “good by”, then dinosaur went back the museum. Danny watched until the long tail was out of sight, after Danny went back his home.
    My favorite part is Danny went the museum then a dinosaur moved around a town!!!!!!! It is so scared. Because I think if real world dinosaurs may eat people. But I think playing dinosaur is so cute in this story!!!!!

  30. Clara 2nd grade
    The title of my book is “Is Everyone Ready for Fun?”. The characters of the book are three cows and one chicken. The three cows plop, jump, dance, wiggle, and nap on chickens couch. I like this book because it’s silly and makes me laugh.

    I read a book called Frog and Toad Together. This story is about Frog and Toad doing things together everyday. They are very good friends, and they have funny times together. For example, Toad makes a list of things for the day, but it gets blown way. So, they skipped everything on the list and then just write “Go to bed” on the ground and they just go to sleep outside.
    I would like to have fun friends like Toad and Frog.

After one day past their was a ray of sunlight! Then he needed to pick one heart from seven hearts. But he needed to choose the right heart.

    Recently read a book called “Princess and the Pop-star. Once upon a time their was a princess named Tori and a pop-star named Keira. One day Keira came to the castle for a concert. How they met is at the concert. Then they both had a magical thing! Tori had a magical hair brush and Keira had a purple Mic.! So soon they became interested in each other. Then Tori said that she will give Keira a friend ship necklace. So they went to a secret garden called diamond garden. The fairies at the garden gave us the necklace. The fairies were cute! Then they thought a great idea! They wanted to switch places! So they switched places with their magical things. But after when they exchanged places they thought that it is really hard to become a another person. So they traded places again. After when they switched they noticed that Keira’s manager was stealing the diamond garden’s tree! So they figured out a way to get it back. Luckily they brought it back! So they celebrated! The manager was arrested. After when they got the diamond tree back they had a best show ever the kingdom of Meribella has ever seen in their show! They lived happily ever after being best friends! I learned that God made me so I shouldn’t think that I wanted to be somebody else.One more thing I learned is that you should not steal, lie, etc.
    I think the coolest part of this book is that princess Tori and the pop star Keira can switch places! I really enjoyed this book. It was really a interesting chapter book!

  34. Selin Choi – 3rd grade
    I read the book called Daisy Dawson by Steve Voake. There was a girl called Daisy but she always dawled.
    One day she went to meet a dog named Boom But suddenly the dog started to speak!
    Then Daisy made friends with boom. Then the next day Daisy met other living creachers like horse and ants. Then the next day came and Daisy went to see boom but he wasn’t there. Then a cat told her that boom is traped in a slammer. So Daisy went off to help boom with her friends.
    I thought I could talk to animals.

  35. The Super Chef Contest

    Brian Cho, 4th grade

    I read a book from Geronimo Stilton series, ‘The Super Chef Contest’. This is the story about him and his cousin, Trap, are going to the contest to select a super chef. While they were training for the contest, Trap was testing many disgusting food to Geronimo. On the day of the contest, Trap was carrying a mysterious trunk. When the contest started, Trap covered himself with a curtain, and he was bringing the trunk with him secretly. At the contest, Trap made nice looking food, not a disgusting food. He won the first contest and won the next day, too. Geronimo found out that Trap’s trunk was a refrigerator to keep food fresh! But on the final contest day, every food got rotten and moldy because there was a thunderstorm that night. Trap’s refrigerator became useless. Then he slipped on his food and dislocated his kneecap. Geronimo had to cook instead of his cousin as a replacement chef. Geronimo did his job successfully and they won the contest. This book is one of my favorite books because it is very funny. I love the part where Trap tests his disgusting food to Geronimo. I think the lesson of this book is to repay your debt to someone if they did good things to you.

  36. Ray – 3rd grade

Mary-kate didn’t want to go to a ballet show that is by Ashley’s most favorite thing in the whole entire world. So Mary-kate gave the ticket to a girl just like Ashley called Nichole. Well, after that, Mary-kate got left out. So Mary-kate decided to call Nichole and tell her to come over. Then, she dressed up like Ashley told her she didn’t want to be friends with her any more. When Ashley found out, she was pretty mad. In fact, she looked as if she was just about explode!!! They had a big fight. Mary-katedidn’t even go to Ashley’s ballet recital.

    I read a book named The sleepover squad.
    This book is about Emily and her 3 friends stay at Emily’s house,and take care of a pony named Ladybug.They feed,wash,ride,and have fun with Ladybug.

    Emily was jeluous, angry, and sad because of that.At the end, friends invited Emily to train to ride the pony.And she became happy.
    I felt sympathy to Emily. I have expeienced like this too.But I don’t want to be like Emily.I hope I can be more generous.That’s what I thought.

After Harry’s relatives were taken away by a witch and a wizard, some members of the Order of the Phoenix showed up to take him to the Burrow. Because Death Eaters who are Voldemort’s supporters might be patrolling the skies for Harry. So it was unsafe for Harry to go to the Burrow alone.

They escaped safely and after about eight months, the finally destroyed two and found out that the last horcrux was at Harry and his friends school which is called Hogwarts. Voldemort found out that he was at Hogwarts so he and his Death Eaters went and fought Harry’s other friends and teachers while Harry was looking for the horcrux. After he destroyed the last one, Harry had to die because he was also a horcrux that Voldemort made without knowing. But when he died, he met and talked to his dead headmaster who was called Dumbledore. Dumbledore explained that Harry could either come back to life or just die.

  68. I recently read a book called The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. The story is about the count of Monte Cristo escaping the jail and revenging to a man who put him into the jail for no reason. The story starts in the big ship coming to the dock. In the ship, there was a guy named Edmond Dante who had a happy face but looked so sad. Morrel, the owner of the ship, was very upset about the fact that the captain had died by fever. So, Morrel said that Edmond will be the captain. Behind Edmond, a guy named Danglar had a frowning face. He was the accountant of the ship. Danglar had a frowning face because he thought that Edmond was too young to be the captain. Also, Danglar thought he did greater job than Edmond. So, Danglar went to Morrel and said that Edmond didn’t tell that they stopped at Elba island and stayed for a few days. But Edmond said that it was captian’s last order. Then, Edmond went to his father and told that he came back and that he will be the captain of the ship. After meeting his father, Edmond went to meet his girlfriend, Mercedes. When he met Mercedes, she said that her cousin, Fernand, took care of her while he was away. Edmond told Fernand that they are going to be married soon. He was too happy that he didn`t notice Fernand’s angry face. And he was shouting at the sea and was very angry. Behind him, Danglar and his friend, Cadrus was standing there. Cadrus was angry that Edmond will be the captian and get married with Mercedes. Then they planed to sent Edmond to jail. Danglar wrote a letter to policemen that Edmond did a bad thing. But Cadrus didn’t agree with Danglar’s plan. So Danglar and Fernand sent a letter to policeman. Then, when the wedding started, policeman came and took Edmond to the IF island. The IF island is where many prisoners stays, especially very bad prisoners. Edmon was very scary and curious because he didn’t do bad things. Many years after the guards throwed him in the jail. Everyday, Edmond’s clothes became scratched and old. One day, Edmond met a man called Abbe while digging the ground. Edmond asked Abbe why he was in jail. Abbe said that he was in the jail because he didn’t tell a secret to king. Edomond learned many things from Abbe, such as languages and mathemetics. They digged the ground together using Abbe’s knife. When the guards came, they put rocks inside the hole where they digged and went back to where they were. Suddenly, Abbe saw a light between rocks. So when he digged more, rocks started to tremble and rocks fell on Edmond and Abbe. Then, Abbe fell on the ground and huge rock struck him and Abbe got injure severly. When Edmond was crying, Abbe told his secret that he hid a map of Monte Cristo, which led to where the treasure is. Abbe died after telling Edmond to search the map behind rock beside him. When the guards came, Edmond quickly hid Abbe, and hid the map in his clothes, and acted as if he was dead. When the guards found Edmond, they rapped him with stones and threw him into the ocean. When guards disappeared, Edmond cut the rope with Abbe’s knife and headed for the Tebrong island. After a while, Edmond got help by sailboat that was coming towards him. When he talked about his situation, people on the sailboat understood. Before he got to the Monte Cristo, he helped the captain by cutting his beard and hair and dressing him in nice clothes. When he stopped at Monte Cristo island, he followed the instruction and found the treasure. When he got to the Rome on the ship that came back after 6 days, Edmond met a man called Elbas, who was Fernand’s son. Elbas invited Edmond to his house. When Edmond got to the house, he met Daglar in the house. Elbas told Edmond that Danglar was an accountant in Rome. Now that he met two men who put him in the jail, he started to think how to revenge. First, he planned to revenge to Danglar. Suddenly, Edmond met Mercedes inside, and they were both suprised. But Edmond did not talk to her since he needed to carry out his plan. The next day, he called Danglar to send all of his money to the bank, even if it was small amount for Edmond. Danglar’s eyes were shining with diomonds and golds. When Danglar carried the box where Edmond’s money was in, his legs were trembling. Edmond noticed that Danglar was trying to steal his money. Then Edmond hid himself in the hood and took Danglar to a little jail with a pistol in his hand. He caged Danglar in the jail for a long time. When Danglar begged to stop making him suffer, Edmond told Danglar that he is Edmond Dantes, not the count of Monte Cristo. Danglar shivered with frightenment. Next, Edmond wanted to revenge to Fernand. Danglar said that Fernand gave up the battle in a war, and got a money in the war. It sounded like Edmond was lying , but it turned out to be true. Then the soldiers came and got Fernand. After his revenge, Edmond told Mercedes that he was Edmond, and said he will change the life. His last word was “wait and hope”. The end. I chose this book because it was very fun. I hope you will enjoy this book.

  69. This summer I read a book called ” How We Get Things” It is a book about how we get certain things that people make for us. For instance a dentist.
    Being a dentist is hard cleaning all of the children’s teeth all day but when the children’s teeth are all clean you feel good inside. Another one is Fire fighters. I think being a fire fighter is one of the hardest jobs I know. To become a fire fighter means strength and bravery in a lot of situations. Sometimes in water and sometimes in the air but it’s usually on the land. A lot of people say that the Japanese Fire Fighters work the hardest. I’ve seen them practicing jumping off of buildings. It was kind of scary but it was cool at the same time. My favorite part was when it told me about how you make ice cream and the part where showed how you make paper money. This book is one of the series by,Child Craft. I have How We Get Things, Children Every Where, Make and Do and finally Poems and Rhyme. I have read all of these books. I think you will like them too.

  70. I read a book called MOOMIN and the Birthday Button written by Tove Jansson. I like this book because it was a very nice story. At first, Moomin thought none of his friends rememberEd his birthday but he found out that his friends were busy making a wooden treasure chest for his birthday present. Moomin was so happy that his friends were so nice!

    Re.: 3rd Response – Summer Reading

    The book that I read is called, “The Kingdom of Fantasy.” Geromino Stilton is the author of this book.
    The story is about Geromino Stilton who is a newspaper writer and he decided to go to the Kingdom of
    Fantasy because he got letter from the Queen of Fairies. She sent him a letter because she needed help
    from many dangerous creatures such a giant scorpions, witches and sea serpents. One of the places that
    Geromino went to was the Kingdom of Dragons. While they were there he sat on the dragons head because
    he was tired and they rode away together. At the end of the story they wrote a book about their adventure.
    It was a fun book to read.

She was so angry she decided to use her magic finger, which made the family’s arm turn in to a wing,and they were so small! They could fly up in the air, and thats what they did! They were having so much fun! But the family didn’t like what they saw. Four huge ducks with hand was going in the house!!! So they had to sleep in the nest. the next morning,the family noticed the ducks with guns trying to shoot them!!! The only way to get them saved and to bring them back to normal was to never ever hunt again. So thats how they got back to normal.

After when they finished making ice cream they went to Samantha’s garden to give Samantha her the presents. She got many presents. Her favorite one was a teddy bear from the twins. After when Samantha finished unwrapping the presents. They ate the ice cream! Then the taste of the ice cream was …. SALTY!!!!!!!!!!! So everybody spited out the ice cream!!! But why was it salty? Samantha did it carefully to not soil it on the ice cream side! Samantha knew that Eddie did it. So she went to her mom and asked if she left the ice cream by itself with Eddie and she said ”yes”. Samantha,s grand mother tasted it and it was really salty so her grand mother said that she will let Samantha go to new york and eat the scrumptious ice cream ever at ice cream parlor.The next week they went to new york and meeted the twins.

When Anne heard that just because she was a girl,she was not needed, she cried into tears. Marllia didn’t like people crying so Marllia changed her mind and chose to keep her, but only for a week. After a while, Mrs. Rachel Lynde came to marllia’s house. Marllia told Anne to be good and she was. When Rachel Lynde stepped in, She was surprised. Mrs. Lynde said” What a girl you have! A girl with freckles and red hair that is like carrot.Then Anne replied” How about someone else told you that you are ugly, fat, and clumsy? Anne didn’t care if Mrs.Rachel was hurt of what Anne had said.Marllia thought Anne wouldn’t even say any word that was rude. Mrs.Rachel Lynde went home as soon as Anne replied the rude words,she said.Then Marllia went to Anne to say sorry to Mrs. Lynde, but Anne refused and told Marllia,Anne can’t.Then awhile ,Anne was ready to say sorry and said to Marllia ,Anne was ready to apologize, so together they went to Mrs. Lynde. I liked this book because it felt me to talk a lot more than how much I do right now. I even love how Anne uses her interesting word sometimes in her sentence for example perfectly instead of “so”or “very”.The part that was sad part was when Matthew Cuthbert died. My most favorite part what Anne says at the end is “God in His heaven all’s right with the world.
