One Month In

Well, can you believe it? My 8th graders are one month closer to HIGH SCHOOL! I have really enjoyed get to know these SMART, FUN, and ENERGETIC students. What a great start to the school year.

Here's what I want to know this week...

What's the BEST thing you've read recently? You must pick ONE book. What is the very BEST thing you've read?


Can't wait to hear what you've got to say! The best thing I've read is The Abundance of Katherines, but I'm really excited to hear what you have to say!

Talk to you soon, 8th grade readers/scholars/huskies!

Best thing I've read... TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE TWILIGHT!! It's probably the best book I've ever read- well one of them. The abundance of Katherines was a pretty good book, but Cheyanne and I both agree that twiligt is above in its own catergory of greatness :D!!! Hey Ms Stenson have you started Percepilis yet?? wormy~Hannah

Hey,
The best thing I've read lately is...To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I'm not quiet done with it yet. But it s a wonderful book. If you're ever looking for a good book, pick it up!

The best thing that I am reading at the moment is "Looking for Alaska", by John Green.
At times when reading, I find myself laughing out loud. The characters in this book are unforgettable! I'm glad I gave it a chance Ms. Stenson. At first I was like, "You're kidding right? This sounds like every other book where the main kid doesn't have any friends."
But I have learned that there is soooooooo musch more to it, and it's a really a "finding yourself book", or at least that's what I am getting out of it.
I can't put it down!
Have a good rest of the weekend!
Stay Fabulous!

Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress by Susan Gillman.

That's all I will say.
Even though I read that at the begining of the summer... and I'd have to rank Eclipse near it, too, it's a book that I will NEVER forget.

Hannah Crook said...

yay riley!!!!! Have you finished it yet??? I LOVE THAT BOOK!(as you may already know...) when you get to eclipse I own it so tell me when you get to it and I will let you borrow it. Ms Stenson, sorry I didn't get Abundance of Katherine's back to you on friday, I finished it then I just forgot to get it to you. Yay Lizzie, 13 little blue envolopes os such a great book! I'm glad you are reading it! I can't wait to read looking for alaska-wait is that what it called. Hey Ms Stenson, what wat your favorite part of the Aubundance of katherines? I liked when Hassen starts calling himself Daddy. I was laughing out loud! books rule!~Hannah

Stenson said...

1. John Green (author of Looking for Alaska and Abundance of Katherines) should come talk to our classes, don't you guys think? Let's write him!

2. TKAM is my all-time favorite book. I've heard there's another book with a Scout-like protagonist. I'll find out the title.

3. Twilight! What a series. Who knew vampires could be so irresistable?

Keep blogging, eveyone!

Hey Riley! Have you read any books by Sharon Creech? She's my favorite authers, well one of them...you know the author of twilight is probably at the top, but anyways, if you haven't you must!! One of my favs by her is chasing red bird-it's kind of a quick read but it was ah-mazing! Ms. Stenson what does tkam stand for? I'm excited for reading day tommrow! I might start the Medeator by meg cabot-i love the ghost wisperer tv series and I heard it was like that. I also might start girls,drums and dangerous pie-ms stenson said it was good. I tried the gossip girl series but I didn't really like the first book-I only got half way through. Hey Conor can I borrow A-list??? ur fav lil book worm! ~Hannah

Liz said...

We should get him to talk to us!
The dialog that he writes is, halarious!
I totally agree with Hannah!

Stay Fabulous!

Hey guys!
It's Hayley Springer and the best book that I have ever read is a picture book my nanny from Australia gave to me when I was little called Tiddles The Special Tazzy Devil, and It's how Tiddles can talk to humans which is why he's so special! It's really cute, and the pictures are even more adorable! A chapter book that's good it So B It. It's a must read!bye bye! :)

Hannah Crook said...

Sharon Creech's Books aren't made to be funny, but then again they kind of are. They have a lot of adventure. I really recommend them. You should totally read them, I read them all, and I think chasing red bird is my favorite, although they are all very amazing. There's a whole section of them at the school library, so If you want Riley I can show you where they are. :)~HANNAH

I personally love Sharon Creech's books. I was introdced to them in 3rd Grade and I fell in love with all of them. "Absolutly Normal Chaos" is a really good book of hers. One of my favorites. I have read it multiple times. It's written in Journal Form, which I like because it's looking at the person's perspective directly. I reccomend it!

Stay Fabulous!

OMG! Lizzie! I love Sharon Creech! I've read all her books...multiple times. I read Walk two moons at least six times and the rest more than twice. My favorite is all of them! But Chasing Red Bird really caught my eye. I also really recommend them!!!!!~HANNAH
