The Boxcar Children Book #1

(Nathan read this book independently)

There were some children named Henry, Jessie, Benny, and Violet.  They were all happy in their boxcar.  There was a dump and they sometimes went there to get stuff.  But what Benny liked the most was a pink cup that was cracked (but not all the way). *  They ran away from their grandfather.  But at the end they went to their grandfather's house.

*Nathan just told me "open parenthesis." *

The Wind in the Willows

(Nathan's independent reading)

Nathan is reading The Wind in the Willows.  Here are his thoughts.....

"The first chapter was a little bit sad because the mole fell into the water but the river rat saved him by grabbing his hand (but that was on the way back).  They went on a picnic.  That is kind of the end of the chapter."
"I like the book except I haven't finished it yet."

Treasure Island

Caleb is currently reading Treasure Island independently.  Here are his initial thoughts on it.....

"What I like so far is that the captain is so tough.  He is looking for sailor with one leg. "

He'll share more when he finishes the book.
