It’s Monday, What Are You Reading

These are two of the books on my list for the Highlights Foundation workshop. I read both of these intense books this weekend. My Book of Life By Angel by Martine Leavitt and Stop Pretending Nothing Happened When My Big Sister Went Crazy by Sonya Sones are gripping, intense, and you just can’t put them down. Or at least I couldn’t. You can tell I tabbed some pages in the Sones book. I will be re-reading them over the next couple of weeks.

More from Mr. Baker’s fourth grade:

My step brother plays soccer in summer
Sometimes birds tweet
He won state
When he got home me and him played soccer.

Flowers grow in the summer
They love the sun
They want to stay with you,
But it can’t be true.

Toucans flying by
Flying right below the clouds
See them soaring high

Monkeys climbing down.
Feel their soft hair flat, wet, smooth.
Watch them climb back up.
