Fancy Nancy: The 100th Day of School

Last night I helped my 6 year old sister read Fancy Nancy: The 100th Day of School by Jane O'Connor. I had read it already a night before her. Everybody in Fancy Nancy's class is supposed to to bring in 100 of something for the 100th day of school. Fancy Nancy doesn't know what to bring and when she asks her teacher for help, her teacher told she can think of something. When she gets home she asks for help. Her mom tells her to make a picture out of macaroni. Then she asks her dad for help. He tells her to take 50 pairs of socks to school that would make 100 socks. Later that night her sister's goldfish dies. This is a wonderful book and you will have to check it out from the library to find out what Fancy Nancy brings to school to celebrate the 100th day.

Well I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, so I'll tell you what I've been up to:

On Saturday it was finally sunny out so my dad and his friends shingled our roof. It was really loud. Also on Saturday it was Grump Days so we want to the parade. For Father's Day we painted pottery to give to my dad that we gave to him yesterday. We've gone to the pool a few times and we've had a few playdates. With my grandma we have baked some cupcakes from 2 books called Hello Cupcake and What's New Cupcake? Right now I'm reading The Far Side of the Loch which would be about Martha, Laura Ingalls Wilder's great grandma. I'm only on the 3rd chapter so I'll post about it later when I'm further in the book. Right now at night my mom is reading to me and my sister the book Summer of the Monkeys. In this book the boy, Jay Berry is trying to catch monkeys. At one point in time he caught two monkeys but they escaped. Jay Berry even got in a fight with the monkeys who bit him and pulled his hair out. The monkeys even got him drunk. The part he hates the most is when he gets sick and his sister practives being a nurse. Yesterday I finished reading Dewey the Libary Cat on the Kindle -it was a great book. I've been to the library a lot this summer. My little sister started gymnastics earlier this summer and tomorrow I have our summer reading program at the library and piano lessons. I better practice tonight.

Book of the week 3

Right now I am reading Abigal Iris The Pet Project by Lisa Glatt and Suzanne Greenberg. In this book Abigail is at the store and she sees a kitten - she really wants it. Since her half birthday is coming up, that would be the perfect gift. But mom says that they would have to talk about it. Abigal Iris is asking if she well get the cat. I've really enjoyed the book so far and I am planning to finish it tonight.

Book of the Week 2

The book of the week this week is Max Counts His Chickens by Rosemary Wells. In this book the Easter Bunny hid ten hot pink chicks. When Max's sister Ruby wakes up she says "finders keepers." Max and Ruby are both looking but Ruby spots all the eggs. Grandma comes in the room and says "oh dear" and makes a phone call. If you want to figure out who the Grandma calls, read Max Counts His Chickens. I like this book because it's fun seeing where Max and Ruby look and it is just in time for Easter.

Tillie Lays an Egg - My Book of the Week

Today I am starting a new thing - a book of the week. This week is the book Tillie Lays An Egg by Terry Golson. In this book there are 7 chickens and there are 3 chicken coops so the chickens take turns laying eggs. Tillie never lays eggs in the coop, instead wandering around the farm and the house. Each day Tillie finds an unusual place to lay her egg. I really like this book because I like to see all the places Tillie goes and I love the photographs.
