Slice Of Pie

8th grade is coming to an end kinda sad but happy at the same time because I can’t wait to go to high school! Since 8th grade is coming to an end we as 8th graders have to see what high school we are going to and I decided to go to Motorn. One day I got home and got a mail from Morton and it told me what my classes are and it said that I have honor math, honor biology, honor english, and core history. I felt so proud of myself because I never thought I was going to get honor classes. That made my whole day even more better and I can’t wait to meet the new people in high school!

Wishtree

Do you ever wondered if animals, trees, plants could talk? In the book called the Wishtree by Katherine Applegate, there is a tree that goes on this journey to try and make someone’s wish come true. Every year on the first of May people from all over town gets a scraps of paper, tags, fabric , snippets of yarn, etc and go up to the wish tree and makes a wish. One day a new family moved into town with a daughter named Samar. As she knew about the wish tree she went up to the wish tree and whispered, “I wish.. for a friend.” Then the wish tree named Red and her animal friends which is a bird named Bong and other animals go on the this journey to try and make Samar next door neighbor named Stephen become friends. While trying to make Samar and Stephen friends people from town want to countdown Red (wishtree). One thing I love about this book is it made me think what if trees and animals did talk? Anyway now it’s your turn to find out if they countdown Red or if they make Samar and Stephen friends. Hopefully you read this book.  if you do read this book, what were your thought and reaction to this book?
