May 4 =Job PP= =Connor McCormick= =Hello this is Connor McCormick I am reading the book __JIP__ and my job is to be the Passage Picker.= =I think the scariest part in these 3 chapters was when Put started to put cuts in his face. I thought it was scary because i couldn't even imagine what it would feel like to do that. It would also look like you just got seriously injured.=

I thought that was really scary also. It would hurt really bad to do that. I couldn't even imagine how bad it would hurt. Katie I thought it was really scary to! I want to put the book down but I couldnt! Jack I also that that part was scary but it was also a little gross. I would think that the lunatic should see a doctor for some help. Maddie W.

I also thought that that part was really scary. I think it would hurt a lot. I couldn't even imagine the pain. Thomas D.

=May 6, 2009 = =Hello,This is Connor McCormick Today my job is to be the Discussion Director and I am reading the book __JIP__ = =__Here are some questions i want to know:__ = =1. I want to know why the stranger came to the farm. He acted as if he new Mrs. and Mr. Lyman = =2. Why did no one talk at dinner that night. I didn't really get that, it was kind of weird. = =3. Why didn't Mrs.Lyman tell Mr.Lyman that the stranger was coming to the farm. I thought that was also kind of weird. = =Please answer these questions. = =Great Questions, Connor! Here are my answers! 1. I think the stranger came to the farm because he knows Jip's family or something and he is trying to bring Jip back home to his real family. Maybe he knows Mrs. and Mr. Lyman from a long time ago when Jip fell off the wagon and they just never told Jip. 2. I think no one talked at dinner because they were all thinking about the stranger and nobody knew what to say. 3. I think Mrs. Lyman didn't tell Mr. Lyman the stranger was coming to the farm because the stranger just showed up and she didn't know what to do so she just welcomed him in. I was thinking about those questions too as I was reading. Great Job, Connor! Katie = 1) I really dont know why he came. And they could have just know each other from long ago. 2)I really thought that to. It was weird to. 3)Ya, me to I don't know why she didn't tell him.

Great Questions! Awsome Job! Sarah

These are great questions! For number 1 maybe the stranger was talking to Mrs. Lyman about Jip's father. Thomas D.


==I think i'm like Jip because he is helpful to he is always visiting him and being nice to him and I always try to be nice and helpful to my mom around the house. I think Jip is also very nice especially to Put because Jip and toddy are the only people who are nice to him and I always try to be nice to everybody and enclude them, ==

and that is how I connect to Jip in this book.
Great! Those were the things I thought were like our life.

Great connection Connor. I think you did a very nice job comparing yourself to Jip. Thomas D.  I think you did a great job comparing yourself and Jip. You have lots of great comparing. Great Job, Connor! Katie

<span style="color: rgb(230, 228, 121);">Hello JIP readers today i'm the word wizard here are some wacky words i've never heard of before
===<span style="color: rgb(230, 228, 121);">1. Crooning, I chose the word crooning because i dont know what it means it is on page.98 paragraph 2 by the way they use it in the sentence i think it means to use a low voice the real meaning: <span style="color: rgb(38, 87, 197);">Crooning to sing or hum in a low voice. === ===<span style="color: rgb(230, 228, 121);">2 Shawl, I chose the word because I have no clue what it means but by the way they used it in the sentence I think it is something girls wear on page. 101. <span style="color: rgb(35, 92, 205);">Shawl, a square or oblong piece of fabric, usually worn over the shoulders === ===<span style="color: rgb(230, 228, 121);">3. Bonnet, I chose this word because like the to other words I have no clue what it means i think it is something girls wear in there hair it is also on page.101. <span style="color: rgb(74, 76, 222);">Bonnet, a hat enclosing both the sides and the back of the head and tied under the chin, worn especially by women and girls. 2. a ceremonial headdress of feathers worn by North American Indians. 3. a cap worn by men and boys in Scottland. ===

= = =Hello today i am the passage picker i think a interesting part was when Put and Jip snuck out off of the farm i thought it was interesting because they could get caught at anytime I would also described it as scary= <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 98);"> Ya, I thought that part was scary and he could have gotten caught. Jack

Great job. I think that you did a really good job at PP. I also think that it would be hard because he could never go back to there. Thomas D.

<span style="background-color: rgb(80, 124, 237); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Sorry for my late response, but I thought you did a great job being Passage Picker! I agree that it was interesting and a bit scary. It also can be hard. GREAT JOB!! Sarah

I really liked that passage too! They were very brave to do such a scary thing. It was a very intriguing chapter because you just wanted to keep reading to see if they would get caught or not. Katie

2. why didn't the Avery's dog attack him when he snuck through the yard?
==<span style="color: rgb(140, 0, 255);"> Great questions, Connor! Here are my answers for them. 1. I think that Put died while he was singing because he was so tired out and he couldn't put up with it anymore so he just died. I agree that it was a pretty unusual ending. 2. I think that Avery's dog didn't attack him because somehow the dog sensed that Jip wasn't harmful and that all Jip wanted was help. Katie == 1) I really dont know. If I were to guess that song meant dying. 2) He knew the dogs and they were happy to see him. And did you really read that whole page? It said it right there!
