Guest Readers for Read the Most Week
During the week of February 25th – March 1st, the fifth grade had three readers come and read to them. On Monday, February 25th Mrs. Sanderson came up and read Jumanji by: Chris VanAllsburg. Jumanji is about a board game that comes to life! The kids who found the game found out it was different on the first turn when a lion attacked! The book is different from the movie in many ways. I believe the book is like the beginning of the movie. When the two kids find and play the game and the boy,Peter, gets sucked into the game. When Peter gets out of the game, that’s when the movie starts and the book ends. On Wednesday, February 27th Harrison Elementary schools principle, Mrs. Tillman, read the first chapter of the The Kid in The Red Jacket. It was about a boy named Howard who is moving from Arizona to Massachusetts because his father got a big promotion. Howard totally hates the idea of moving away from his friends and soccer team. Through the whole first chapter, Howard just goes on complaining and whining. On Thursday, February 28th Mrs. Gieringer read Amazing Grace and Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon. Amazing Grace is about a girl who loves to act out stories that her grandma tells her. At school, they’re having a play and Grace wants the lead roll of Peter Pan. One boys in her class said she couldn’t be Peter Pan because shes a girl. Another kid said she couldn’t be Peter Pan because shes black. Well eventually she gets the roll and everyone is happy. The story called Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon is about a girl who is the shortest kid in her school, has buck teeth, cant sing, and is really clumsy, but she finds away around everything. In football shes short enough to go under the kids legs. She can stack 10 pennies on her teeth, so people think that’s cool. Since she was clumsy she made the big beautiful snow flake. A bully said she was like a duck honking, so she honked in his face and all the kids cried with joy because the bully fell over and hit his head so he was gone the rest of the day. Those were the books and the people who read them.
