Lionel in the Fall


Lionel in the Fall

Stephen Krensky

In this book Lionel was going to school on the first day. He had a new teacher and he was shy. The teacher asked the kids to introduce themselves. When the teacher got up to Lionel. Lionel whispered and whispered and after that he screamed “I`M LIONEL!!!” and he continued screaming, “AND I HATE STANDING UP HERE AND TALKING INFRONT OF EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!” The teacher was reminded of when she was a little girl and after that she said to the class, “Instead of talking why don’t we write it in a note.” Lionel had a lot to say in writing !!!! I think people should read this book. I gave this book a 10 out of ten!

The Doorbell Rang


The Doorbell Rang
by Pat Hutchins

We read this book to help us study fair shares in math. The book starts out with Mom baking her kids 12 cookies. She tells them to share the cookies fairly, so they each get six. BUT, then the doorbell rang and more kids came in so they had to split the cookies again. The pattern repeated until each kid ended up with 1 cookie each. So how many kids ended up coming over?

We would highly recommend this book. It was an easy story to follow and really helped us learn about fair shares.

We give this book a 9 out of 10.
