Book Review by Patricia

and here is another great review-

I read the book Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. The main idea of the story is to tell a story about a pig named Wilbur. Wilbur was the runt and was going to be killed but Fern rescued him and named him Wilbur. One day Fern's dad said "it's about time that pig sleeps outside!" Finally it was time to send Wilbur to Uncle Zukerman. Then he meets a spider named Charlotte who promises to save his life. Will Charlotte save his life or not? Read this book to find out!!!

Book Review by Virginia

Thanks, Virginia for this great book review:

I read the book Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. Ella had a gift. Well it turned out as a curse. She got the gift of obedience. She had to obey anything she was told. If someone said, "go to your room," she would. If someone said, "I want you to go to your room," she didn't have to! Think about obeying. If you always did what you were told, wouldn't you be sad? If someone found out they would order you to give them all your money. Poor Ella, I wish she didn't have the curse. Will she break the curse, or learn to live with it? Read the book and you will know!

Snow Day

Yippee!
Forecasts here are for 14-18 inches. I don't believe them.

So, they all just now got outside (proof above), and in less than one minute -- no joke ONE MINUTE -- one of them is already back in the house.

Enjoy
