Grade 3 Hoeppner - Kidnapped!

We have just started reading Gordon Korman's 'Kidnapped' series. The two main characters are Aiden and Meg Falconer, who are brother and sister. Aiden is 15 years old, and Meg is 11. This series is the sequel to the 'On The Run' series that we just finished reading. In the 'On The Run' series, Aiden and Meg were on the run all over the United States, trying to stay ahead of the FBI and a mysterious man they named 'Hairless Joe', while they tried to prove that their parents (who were framed for spying on the government) were innocent. In the first book of 'Kidnapped', Aiden and Meg are trying to get back to their normal lives in Baltimore, MD when Meg gets abducted by strangers in masks, as her and Aiden were walking home from school. Now Aiden is trying to find Meg, along with the FBI - will they find her before it's too late? We're excited to find out!

Kindergarten AM - Pinkalicious



The morning Kindergarten class in Room 171 has been studying colours.  Last week, the colour of the week was pink!  As part of our study, we always read books about the different colours of the week.  We read Pinkalicious last week.  We thought it was hilarious!

Grade 6- Hadaller Book Review

Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 by Dav Pilkey


I like this book because it is very funny with all the characters and the crazy adventures that they go on. This book is one of my favorites. This series is about a mean, old principal named Mr. Krupp. He  was very rude to these two kids named George Beard and Harold Hutchins. Once when Mr. Krupp was being mean to them, they hypnotized him and now he thinks that he is the superhero, Captain Underpants. He did have some problems like not having any super powers, but he drank a liquid that gave him super powers. He goes on adventures with George and Harold to battle evil villains such as, The Turbo Toilet 2000, Tippy Tinkletrousers, and many more! I rate this book 5 out of 5 because this book is very funny, nice and this book is good for all ages.

Grade 7 Vizza- Wonder by R.J Palacio


During our library time, we have been reading Wonder by R.J Palacio. This book is about a boy named August. August is born with a facial difference. His whole life he has been homeschooled but, he is now going to public school for 5th grade. He faces challenges as the new kid at school. We find the book very interesting because it is an uncommon topic in books. It's written in a way that shows how kids really think and how they feel.            Written by: Jessica, Kyra and Lacee
