Royal Little princess#1

Dear Ms Welker,

I'm Reading a book called Little Princess. I'm going to read and do a post every 4 chapters. So, my prediction is that this book is about a girl who is like a princess. I think this because of the title and the cover page picture.
My prediction was right! It was about a girl who was treated like a princess. Her name is Molly. Her father died and now she has to live like a charity student in Glenmore, which is her school. I feel very sad for molly.
When I read I had trouble with the word lulled. I read around and found the answer; well I kind of inferred it. It meant to be pushed around or kind of pulled.
Molly was so sick of Glenmore because of the principal, Ms Thacker; she was being really unreasonably mean with her. So, she tried to run away. I would do that too if I were her. I also had a question: why did she think that run away was a good idea and then after she did it, she change her mind and thought that run away was a bad idea. Well, when I read on I found out that she thought her life will be easy, but later on she found that it was harder.
There is this thing called the spring fling in Glenmore and Ms Thacker said molly had to wear a dress or a skirt. She knew that molly didn't have any of those things. I think that was really mean. Then I had trouble with the word nonchalant. I tried to read around but that didn't work, so I went on answers.com and it meant a careless manner. So, to conclude molly is having a really hard time and she needs all the help she can get because Ms Thacker will make her life miserable for ever.
Sincerely,

Too Many Pumpkins/ Literally#1

Dear Ms Welker,
I'm reading a book called too many pumpkins by Linda White. I predict that this book will be about a Woman who planted too many pumpkins. I predict this because of the picture on the title page.

My Prediction was right and wrong yes it was about growing too many pumpkins but she didn't plant them a pumpkin truck came by and a pumpkin fell. In fact she actually hated pumpkins and she didn't want pumpkins. So when I read I came across a hard word.The hard word was rutabagas I tried to read around but there was no clues so I went on answers.com and found out that it meant an edible root of this plant that I don't know. So when I read a part I thought that you shouldn't hate something just because you didn't have anything else. I also had a question. My question is that why did she just leave the the pumpkins and expect them to not grow? Then I read on and found out that There were tons of pumpkins because she just left them there and I found the answer to my question. The answer is that she tought that if she didn't tend them and water them they would die . So to conclude what I read ythe woman learned a lesson. The lesson was that she shouldn't hate something because she had too much of something( Also she kept seeds for the next year).

Prehistoric times #1

Dear Ms. Welker, 

I'm reading Prehistoric Worlds. I predict that this book is going to be about back in time and dinosaurs. I think this because the Dinos were alive in the prehistoric times. Also I think That prehistoric times are really cool.

      My prediction was right but it was also about rocks and minerals.  So after I read I had trouble with the word Galena. Then I read on and found out it is an ore mineral that is found in lead. Also my favorite type of rock is Igneous. I like it because I like crystals and igneous contains crystals some times so that is why I like igneous. When I read more I had a question. My question is What are the the inner layers? I did study rocks in school but we didn't talk about the inner layers. So I read around and found out that there are four layers. the four layers are the crust, mantle, outer core, inner core. I really like learning about the earth its so cool. So I also had a connection sort of. Well I watched a movie called Journey To The Center Of The Earth and they found the center which is the inner core and in this book they are talking about the inner core. So when I read the dinosaur part I thought about the ride Jurassic park in universal. The dinosaurs actually kind of scare me a little bit. My favorite dinosaur is the triceratops. My most hated dinosaur is the tyrannosaurus rex. I really don't like it because they are meat eaters and can even eat people and I like the triceratops because it is a plant eater and doesn't eat people unlike the tyrannosaurus rex ( I think my dad like the tyrannosaurus rex and I don't get why). So to conclude on what I read read the prehistoric times were really cool and when arceologists dig up things from the past we can learn more about the prehistoric times.
