Another Great Read...Another Great Reader!

Hi Mrs. Wollmering,

          I hope your summer is going well. The best book I read this summer was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilson. I received the book as a prize for completing the St. Paul Public Library summer reading program. The False Prince is about a boy named Sage who is caught up in a plot to install a false prince into the throne of Carthya, a fictional kingdom. The book is dramatic and is set in medieval times. Sage and two other boys are tricked into trying to become the false prince. Treachery and deceit are woven in the story along with fast-paced adventure. I liked this book because it was very entertaining and there wasn’t a lot of talking but there was a lot of action and a lot of unexpected twists. The ending was surprising and entertaining. I would recommend the book to other people.

          I look forward to seeing you when school starts.

Zooming Along With Zoomer

I just love the emails I have been receiving from my Reading Leaders. Here is the latest one from a very enthusiastic 1st Grader.

Hi Mrs. Wollmering:

My favorite story I read this summer is Zoomer by Ned Young.  The story was
about Zoomer and his two brothers and their dad trying to get them ready to go
to school but Zoomer kept doing all kinds of funny things like building a
castle with his food.  He always would tell his dad he was not going to school
today when his dad asked him to get ready.  The funniest part was when the dad
finally got the two brothers off to the school bus snd then Zoomer landed at
the bus stop in a space ship he built.  His dad asked him why he didn't want to
go to school today because Zoomer liked school and Zoomer said BECAUSE TODAY IS
SATURDAY. So then they went back to their house and had a picnic with a big
water slide into a pool.

I have been reading all summer.  My mom reads me a book and then I read her a
book.  See you soon.

Silverlicious Is Delicious!

This was waiting for me in my email inbox last week. It is so much fun to receive these messages from my students. I love hearing how excited they are about books and reading!

Dear Mrs. Wollmering,

My favorite book this summer is Silverlicious, by Victoria Kann.  I like it because it's about Pinkalicious and the Tooth Fairy.  The best part is at the end of the book when Pinkalicious learns she needs to act nicely for things to taste sweet again.  I also like how the cupid, easter bunny , the elf and the tooth fairy visit her.  I like how they decorated her room each night.  Pinkalicious shares the silver chocolate coins she gets with her brother, Peter.
