Summer Reading



Hello Room 2308 6th graders and incoming 5th graders!

Summer has begun, I am so happy to begin my summer reading. I have a pile of books I am planning on reading, as well as a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble to add some more to my pile, how fun!
Right now I am reading Rick Riordan's "The Red Pyramid". I am liking it, although I am not as "hooked" as I was when first reading "The Lightning Thief". This is similar, but with the Egyptian gods and goddesses playing a big part in the plot.
I am also reading "The Girl That Can Fly" by Victoria Forester with Dylan. It is a fun story, adventure, with the heroine a spunky girl named Piper who can fly. She ends up in an place where she is told she can be "helped", but is Dr. hellion her friend or enemy? Read it to find out!

I also plan on reading a lot of gardening and homesteading magazines, as well as cookbooks.
Share with us what you are reading, what you plan on reading, or if you need any recommendations.
New room 2308'ers, if you are new to our blog, you can go back through some of our older blogs to get an idea about our conversations. I hope to hear what kinds of book you like and to get to know you as readers over the summer!
Keep in touch, I will be posting more every week!
Happy Reading!
Mrs. Simonds
