If you have a lot of Star Wars fans in your class, they may get very distracted, but the biggest seller of a book is anyone who loves it, and it sounds like you do love this one!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-57629072820127820472011-02-02T09:53:49.143-05:002011-02-02T09:53:49.143-05:00I enjoyed reading this post.

My sixth graders ask me just about every day what I am going to read, so I know I need to make a decision! <br />I've been putting off reading Wondla (probably because of the length), but after reading your post and knowing there is a copy coming to me in the mail soon, I will definitely pick that one up and give it a try!<br />I may fall back on a favorite--Leepike Ridge or When You Reach Me.D.A.

We did a lot of work with Velma's words -- I had all of them + definitions on the SmartBoard and used the "window shade" to reveal them as we came to them. Every day we reviewed the ones we'd already come to and it was fun to hear the kids using those words at other times of the day, or finding them in the books they were reading. And then, of course, there was the fun of the Yoo-Hoo boats!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-61606510949151485812011-02-02T06:34:50.274-05:002011-02-02T06:34:50.274-05:00How long did it take you to get through "Pope...How long did it take you to get through "Popeye?"
