First Book Study is Finished!

Dear Students,

This week we wrapped up our study of the book, Dear Mr. Henshaw. We've been working with this book since the second week of school, and we have talked about the many different things that happened in the book. I think it is very interesting that after reading a book about a boy writing in his diary, we are beginning a diary of our own. Our class blog will be a type of diary or journal that we can use to record the events of our year together.

My favorite part of the book was when we realized Leigh had finally made a friend. I know what it is like to move to a new place and how hard it can be to make friends sometimes. Some of you can also relate to this feeling. I remember how good it felt to finally have someone to spend time with and talk to. I could remember those feelings as we read this part of the book.

Now, I would like to know....what was YOUR favorite part of Dear Mr. Henshaw?

My nme is Miajia. Mr.Henshaw was a great book, but my favorite part was that when Leigh made the burglar alarm. I was hoping that he would find out who the theif was and the theif hopfuly wouldn't mess with his lunch again and Leigh could finally eat his good cheese cack and other good foods. Oh by the way Leigh had to make a burglar alarm for his lunch only because someone was stealing his lunch.

Leigh's dad found bandit because the man who found Bandit gave it to Leigh's dad.Leigh's dad got bandit when the man who found Bandit was in the same wiegh line.DAd called out on the CB radio to see if anyone anyone found Bandit.

My name is Enri and my favoite part of the book is when Liegh try to open his lunchbag at lunch. Becuase he put to much duck tape. He has a lunch promblem becuase someone keeps stealing his lunch. He brings such good foods, becuase mom has a job at weddings she gets the leftovers.

my favorite part in Dear Ms.Henshaw is when Leighs mom and dad made up silly songs one of the song was "Driving with a heavy load I saw a shoe upon the road squashed like a toad" and the other song was "I saw a shoe wet with dew no highway 2. It made me blue. What well I do". I liked this songs becouse they were all funny.

My name is Brenda
My favorite part on Dear Mr.Henshaw
was when Leigh made his burglar alarm for his lunch box. I like that part because he made it himself with some help from books at the library. When Leigh opened his lunch box in the cafeteria, everyone was looking at his and even the teachers, across the hall came out of their room to see what was going on.Even the principal came. Everyone wanted lunch boxs with burglar alarms too.
