Thursday's Reviews By Christiana

I'm reviewing books that I have read in the last 2 weeks.

The Harry Potter Series

By J. K. Rowling

 

 

I think that the Harry Potter series is wonderful. Harry Potter is an 11 year old boy who doesn't know how special he is. So when he gets a letter inviting him to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizarding, he cant wait until he can get there. This series  is enchanted by the spell to make you want to read it forever!

 

 

 

The Lemonade War series

 

By Jacqueline Davis

 

 

Jessie Treskie is an extremely smart 3rd grader. So smart, that she decided to skip 3rd grade and go into 4th grade. Jesse is thrilled, but her older brother Evan isn't. Jesse was going to be in his class! So to prove he's still better than her, Evan declares war. Lemonade war. In this fun and exiting series, you are sucked into its deep hole and don't want to climb out!

 

ITS MONDAY WHAT ARE YOU READING!!(by:Tom D.)

Bomb by Steve Sheinkin

The book Bomb was mostly  about the challenges to make the atomic bomb and to steal info from the U.S.S.R.,  Germany and America  itself .  My self, I thought it was cool that all that happened to make the atomic bombs.  I would recommend this book to young adults, adults and just people making a report on the 2 bombs

The Last Olympian by Rick Riodan

The book was about Percy Jackson a demigod (half mortal half god) battles the titan Kronos for the western civilization.  I have read it and I love it.




Garfield looses his feet by Jim Davis


The book "Garfield" is about what garfield does in his every day life!!!!
the book is very funny and good for kids!!!!!!




its monday what are YOU reading!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to our class blog!  We are the students in Mrs. Ginther's Language Arts classes.  We're in 5th grade in a suburb of Cincinnati in SW Ohio.  We're looking forward to blogging about the books we're reading, what we're doing in class, and some of our projects.  You can also check out Mrs. Ginther's Blog.  We're so excited to get started!  Our first posting will be "It's Monday!  What are you reading?", a meme started by Teach Mentor Texts and Book Journey.  Stop by frequently to see updates, pictures, and video clips.

We're currently focusing on the theme topic FEAR.  It's a perfect topic for the month of Halloween!  We're reading aloud Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.  We're about half way through the book and we are studying the elements that make the book historical fiction, as well as the elements of fear that are present in the book.  Watch a book trailer for Number the Stars here:

Convinced you need to check it out yet?

We are also reading a historical fiction novel with a book group.  These books include:

Titanic: Book One--Unsinkable by Gordon Korman

May B. by Caroline Starr Rose

City of Orphans by Avi

Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin (which is technically a nonfiction book, not historical fiction)

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

Fever, 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

We'll be reviewing some of these books in the upcoming weeks.  Stay tuned and keep reading!
