Four Book Reviews

          If you pick up a book that is called The Penguin and the Pea and read it you will laugh.  In the pictures the bed has penguin feet.  In the picture they made hand puppets.  It was very funny.  The words are very funny throughout the book.  In the words she says "they lived flappily every after" instead of "happily ever after."  If you ever read this book you are going to blow up because you will be laughing so hard.

          The Penguin and the Pea is funny.  The words are funny because they said "flappily ever after" instead of "happily ever after."  The pictures are funny too.  When she is lying on the ground she did not even want to climb.  I think that picture is funny.  I know you will like this book because it is funny.

          You will laugh at the book called The Penguin and the Pea.  The words at the end are funny and in the beginning and the middle.  At the end the words were "flappily ever after" instead of saying "happily ever after."  The prince asked for the princess' fin instead of her hand in marriage.  The pictures are funny like when she takes off her rain flippers, they are rain boots.  In the picture before the last one there are angels that are penguins.  You will enjoy this book because it is funny.

          You will laugh at the book The Penguin and the Pea.  When you read at the end, you will see the words "flappily ever after."  Also the princess is not a person.  She's a penguin!  The picture that is funny to me is the penguin angel.  I think you will love the book.

Downtown Brattleboro

Last Friday we took the Beeline bus into town.  We saw the sites of old mills along the Whetstone Brook, surveyed the businesses in town, and learned more history at the library.  Here are some photos from our trip.   (Thanks to Diana Whitney for accompanying us.)

Tutoring Each Other About Brattleboro History, and a Letter to Ivana

We are learning so much about Brattleboro history.  Some of the students in the class have worked with me during skills block to learn more.  They researched and wrote books on their ipads.  Then they tutored their classmates.

 Also, I just received a letter from an old friend, Ivana Seedatown, who wants to come visit us here in Brattleboro.  She is a historian and so she wants to know lots about Brattleboro history.  The class volunteered to write to her!
