Thank you both for your comments. Dana, you are so sweet. I really enjoyed celebrating our Read-A-Thon accomplishments with you and our class. The fountain/waterfall was chilly but refreshing. We are lucky to have such a beautiful spot on our campus! What all did you read during Read-A-Thon, Dana?
Nicolás Ll., I’m really glad you had fun for Read-A-Thon, too, and that you almost finished Black Beauty. What did you think of the book? It’s one of my favorites!

I read the book fleatecitives and dork diary party time.
fleatectives is a bout two fleas that are triying to discover a mystery of why the east and west bees fight. they fight because they think their oponents stole their nectar. the two fleas where called Buzz and itch. At the beginning Itch was not participating because he was trying to FLY.
Dork diary was about two girls named Mackenzie and Nikki. The main problem is that they fight each other.
I felt really good in the READ-A-THON. 🙂
April 24, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Xiomara, you need to check out Mariana E.’s book blog about Mackenzie and Nikki. I would love to hear your input on why those two girls fight all the time. Leave you thoughts on Mariana E.’s post!
