May 4, 2009 Honus and Me Connection Creator

In the book //Honus and Me // , their are a few connections between Joe Stoshack and me. The first connection is that our moms always sign us up for jobs that we would never like to do, and in the book Joe's Mom signed him up to clean Miss Young's attic that had lots of junk. My Mom always makes me clean the basement. Another connection between our lives is that we both really like to play and watch baseball. The last connection is that we both are collectors, we both really like to collect baseball cards. Joe and I have a lot in common I think we would be friends. 

Those are some great connections, Michael. Mrs. Best

Those are some nice connections Michael. I also enjoy watching sports and I used to collect baseball cards. Matt Wade  May 6, 2009 Honus and Me Word Wizard

I am the Word Wizard. Some words that I didn't know what it was surge, authenticate, memorabilia, and reel. I think that a surge is when someone faints. I think authenticate means that it makes it real. I think memorabilia means that it's memorable. Lastly I think that reel means something on a fishing rod. Surge really means a powerful movement. Authenticate means to be authentic. Memorabilia is things that are worth saving. Reel means to be thrown off balance. Those were some tricky words. 

Nice job here too! I loved the words you found. Mrs. Best

Thanks Michael I didn't really know what those words meant either but now I do. =) From, Charlie Robbins

May 7, 2009 Honus and Me p.30-45 Passage Picker

I am the Passage Picker. When I was reading, one paragraph stood out to me a lot. Page 33 paragraph 5. //There was a man in my room. He was sitting in the chair at my desk,calmly watching me. He didn't look like a thief robbing the house. He was wearing a baseball uniform. " How are you?" I asked dumbfounded. "Who are you?" he replied softly. "Joe. Joe Stoshack. My friends call me Stosh."// I thought that that paragraph was thrilling and scary. Those were some exciting pages! 

I agree with you Michael I really liked that pargraph too. Nice job !!!! Charlie

May 13, 09 I would find that weird and a little crazy if that was me. Matt Wade

May 15, 2009 Super Summarizer 60-75

I'm the Super Summarizer. In the pages Joe wanted to go back in time. So the next morning Joe woke up in a room with flower wallpaper. He got up and saw Honus in his baseball uniform. Honus told Joe to look in a mirror. Joe saw a grown man in a mirror. Joe didn't know what to do. So Honus told Joe to go out and get some clothes that really fit him. It was interesting.

 Nice summary Michael. ~Charlie

If I were Joe I would be so freaked out that I could go back in time too. Matt Wade Discussion Director p.75-90

Can Ty Cobb pull off a another World Series win? Yes, but the Tigers would be the underdogs. Could Honus be the MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the season? Most likely he will be the MVP if he wins the World Series. Can Charles Adams win a World Series his rookie year? With Charles and Honus they could easily win it all. Can the Pittsburgh Pirates win their first World Series? <span style="font-size: 130%; color: rgb(0, 255, 255);">Yes, and it can be a historic day.

<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 120%;">Those are good questions, but you need to answer them as well. Mrs. Best

Nice questions Michael.

One connection between my life and Joe's is that we both go to a lot of baseball games. In pages ninety - one-hundred-five, Joe goes to the World Seres and the Pirates are crushed the Tigers 8-0. The next connection is he got a home run and gave the Pirates a huge lead. Just like me when I got a huge home run just like like Joe in the pages. The last connection is that I read a book similar to this book a lot about baseball and the main character smacked a homer to win the game for the Yankees. <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%;"> More good connections! You have done a nice job so far! Mrs. Best

<span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 255); font-size: 120%;"> June 1 2009 p.105-137 Word Wizard

The four words that I didn't know in the pages were guffaws, rheumatism, melancholy, and apoplexy. I thought that guffaws meant it was an evil laugh. I thought rheumatism was a disease. I thought melancholy was a dog. I thought apoplexy was a type of anger. I was right about guffaws. Rheumatism is a disease with muscles. Melancholy is a long lasting sadness. Apoplexy is someone having a stroke.
