Loser

     We just completed our third novel. Loser is a book by award winner Jerry Spinelli. The main character in the novel is Donald Zinkoff. One word that describes Zinkoff is adventurous. The reason why I think this word describes him is because he likes go to new places and try new things. The setting of this story is 900 willow street block. These are some important facts that happend in the story. Zinkoff had field day and nobody wanted him on his team. Zinkoff had a best friend named Hector. Zinkoff had his own day and went to work with his dad. Zinkoff soccer team had won the championship game and Zinkoff gave his trophy to Andrew. Zinkoff had graduated to middle school and tumbled down when they called his name. The best part of the book was when it started to snow. If I could change any situation of the book, I would have changed it when Zinkoff had lost the race because he could have a medal and go home proud of himself. Zinkoff had many character traits during this novel. One character trait he had was he's a dreamer because he wants to be like his dad when he grows up. Another Zinkoff character trait is Zinkoff is proud to be himself. I did like how this novel ended because the boy was kinda proud to pick Zinkoff to be on his team when they was playing football.

My Poem

Big mean bully you think your so cool.                    
If you're messing with others 
you're looking like a fool.
If I were your football coach 
I would put you on the bleachers. 
So big mean bully
you're not cool 
you're a fool.

Shiloh Book Review

Today is October 24, 2013. We have just completed our second novel, Shiloh. The protagonist in the book is Marty and Shiloh. A protagonist is the main character in the story. The antagonist in the book Shiloh is Judd Travers. A antagonist is the person who fights against the protagonist. The main conflict is when Marty took Shiloh and it belongs to Judd Travers. The resolution of Shiloh was when Judd let Marty keep Shiloh. My favorite part of the book was when Marty ate Dara Lynn's chocolate bunny ear. My least favorite part of Shiloh was when Shiloh got attacked by that German Shephard. If I could be any of the characters I would be Marty because he is caring, smart and brave. I would recommend this book to my brother beacause I know he would like it and he likes to read.

Another hot day

Today is another hot day in room 12. It's Wednesday September 11 2013. The temperature says it is 95 degrees right now. The hardest part about being in school when it's hot is that we don't have air-conditioning. This week we will be taking two district tests in reading and math. I think I did amazing. We have been reading maniac Magee. The best part of the book so far is when Grayson and maniacs Christmas. I really didn't like it when Grayson died. We have been working on plot,character and setting while reading maniac Magee. Plot is what the story was all about. Character is the people in the story. Setting is where the story takes place. We will be taking a states test on September 25th. I am sure I will get a good grade. Please follow us on Facebook walkers 5th grade wonders.
