Reward Day

Mrs. Labrum gave the class a reward today because they have been so patient with all the testing we did. We also finished reading one of Mrs. Labrum's favorite books, The Wizard of Oz. She has read this to her class every year for about 20 years. So, as a reward, we watched the movie. We found out that the book is much better than the movie. There were many things in the book that were not in the movie. We were waiting to see the hammberheads and the Kalidahs but they weren't there! It would have been fun to see the Scarecrow stuck on the pole in the middle of the river. We will just have to use our imagination and visualize it ourselves. Visualizing is a good reading strategy.


We are now reading Because of Winn-Dixie". We are really enjoying this story.
