No School Monday!

OK now that I have caught your eyes I want to tell you about my book I am reading. We really don't have school Monday by the way. Well anyway the book I am reading is called The Measure of a Man By Sidney Poitier. It is a spiritual autobiography of Sidney, who if you did not know was the first African American to win the Academy Award in 1963 for best actor in Lilies of the Field. This book is a great book about the life of Sidney I am not far in it but so far its about him and his adventures in life. Another thing it talks about is how he has to try to help his family out. I recommend this book to anyone.

TUESDAY

It's Tuesday! Who's posting the current event?

Pizza Party!

Don't forget! If you want to bring in canned foods, make sure you do so by tomorrow! Not everyone has to bring in 10 cans -- out of a thousand -- as NJP1092 is going to do. If everyone brings in at least 3 or 4 we might win the pizza party for our class!

Free donuts on friday!

Just kidding. But now that I have your attention, I want to tell you all about a sensational book that I'm reading. It's called "The Tenth Circle" by Jodi Picoult. Some of you probably think it's lame to read and recommend books, but this novel is the most intense, interesting one I've read in a very long time. It involves a teenage girl in ninth grade and her relationship with her family, people in her school, and how she handles everything that happens around her. She goes through tragedy and some of the worst possible situations imaginable for a high school student, and boys and girls combined would enjoy reading about some of these incidents that make you never want to put the book down. If anyone wants to, they can borrow it from me after I finish it!

Zach's lie is a great book :)

Right now, I am reading "Zachs Lie" by Roland Smith. I read the book over the summer, but I am rereading it so I can read the second one. The book is about a teenage boy, Zach, and his family. Unfortunetly, Zach's dad gets involved with a drug program. Zach and his family have to change everything in their lives. Where they live, their names, their appearance, even their eye color, since they are being chased by a vicious group of people. This book is one of the best books I have ever read. If you enjoy mystery and suspense, "Zach's Lie" is the book for you.
