Hi, you guys. I hope you are keeping up with your reading and journaling. Keep in mind that the idea of your journal entries is that I will be able to see you are understanding what you are reading. Also, a good skill to have in reading is when you are able to "read between the lines." That mean that the author is trying to get a message across to you by using the characters and their confict/resolution through the story. What is the author trying to tell you? It is more than just word by word, black and white on the page. THINK ABOUT IT!
Seventh and eighth graders--the following list is books that you will be reading this upcoming year. I haven't split them grade wise yet, but just so you aren't choosing these books for your journaling:
Johnny Tremain
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
Milkweed
My Brother Sam is Dead
Rumble Fish
The Chocolate War
Cheaper By the Dozen
Flowers for Algernon
A Day No Pigs Would Die
These are new books to the SJS Reading Program. These aren't all of them, but the new ones to the program. Let me know if you have any questions! Keep reading...I may be seeing some of you at the fair.

Hi, Juls. What happened to your blog? I was checking it the other day, and I couldn't find it. I don't think I am going to be able to come...tonight would be the only night, and I have a friend coming in from out of town that I really want to see. Let me know all about it!
I got done with the journaling and am doing the summer reading program at the marysville library. I read A Week in the Woods, The Janitor's Boy,and Help, I'm a Prisoner in the Library. The best was A Week in the Woods

For extra credit, you don't have to do the journaling. Just fill out the sheet that I gave you with your packet. If you don't have one, I can bring it with me to Charlotte's home visit, or I can email you one as an attachment if you want it sooner.
