   Connection Creator Chapter 1-3 JIP His Story

Today I am the Connection Creator. The thing that I think happens in life that happened in chapters 1-3 was when the lunatic came in the back of the wagon Jip welcomed him but the other people tried their best to ovoid him because he was different. I think it connects with real life because when their is a new kid at school and he looks different ,talks different, or walks different most people will ovoid but some people would make him feel at home.

Yes that was alot like real life. Jack

Boy, that is so true. Our human nature naturally kicks in to avoid what we perceive as different. It is because we are Christian that we know that Jesus sought out those who are different to make them feel welcome. Mrs. Best   I agree with what you wrote. That was a great thing to connect to. Katie



I love this picture! Mrs. Best 

Word Wizard Chapter 6-7 Job #3

Today I am word wizard. Here are some of the words I did not know. 1) SINISTER- I think it means to be scary. The word sinister means to be threatening or suggesting evil. 2) INFINITESIMALLY- I think it means to want to know about something. The word infinitesimally means to be so small as to be so hard to measure out or figure out. 3) GNARLED- to have dirty old hands. The word gnarled means to have rough or rugged hands. 

Wow, I had no idea what those words were either . Jack

Gnarled is also like knots. The have big knuckles and ridges - like an old, giant tree! Great words! Mrs. Best

 Great words, Maddie! I did not know any of those either! Awesome Job! Katie

Great words. I was also wondering those. Great guesses too. Thomas D.

May 13, 2009 Super Summarizer Chapters 8-9 Job #4

Today I am the Super Summarizer! Here is what I thought went on in the two chapters. Lucy's mom ,Mrs. Wilkens, wanted Lucy to go to school and get an education but Lucy did not want to go unless Jip went. Jip also like Lucy did not want to go to school because a lot of people say that his brain is not fit for education but fit for running a farm. Mrs. Wilkens got the manger to let Jip go to school with Lucy. Jip and Lucy were not happy. Both of them were nerves as they walked three miles to school. Lucy was telling Jip about the bad experience she had at her last school on the long walk. They finally got to school. As the day went on they began to like school more and more. It all went well until lunch because a bully stool Lucy's lunch. Jip and Lucy went to school as normal and then one night Put had a spell. It lasted days! Lucy and Jip did thier best to confort him. The spell was finally over and all was back to normal.

Great Summary, Maddie! You didn't leave one thing out! Very complete!! Katie <span style="color: rgb(87, 24, 119);">

Today I am Passage Picker. The passage that I think was the best was at the bottom of page 97 and the top of page 98. In the passage Jip tried his best to clean up Put because Mr. Flint an inspector was coming. Mr. Flint came to all the places with lunatic's to make sure they did not cause problems or put the people around them in danger. When the inspector came Put was facing the wall. Put faced the wall the whole time so the inspector thought he would not hurt a thing. The inspector said he could stay. I liked this passage because it showes how much Jip loves and cares about Put.

Great Choice! I was going to do those if I were that job Jack

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">Great passage! I also thought about that passage when I read it. Thomas D.

<span style="color: rgb(87, 24, 119);">Great passage! I really liked that passage too! Katie

Today I am Discussion Director. Here are some things that I think we should talk about. 1) Do you think that Jip will leave Put at the farm and go to find his parents? 2) How do you think Jip feels now that he know that the Stevens can help him find his parents. 3) Predict. Do you think Jip will find his parents? 4) Predict. How do you think Jip will feel if he finds his parents? <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I wanted the DD to answer the questions too. That is what starts the discussion. Mrs Best <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

Great job. 1. I think that Jip will stay with Put. 2. I think Jip feels happy and confused. I think this because he has to decide between Put and his parents. Thomas D.

May 22, 2009 Connection Creator Chapter 14-16 Job #7

Today I am Connection Creator. In these two chapters Jip and Put ran away from the poor farm. There were slave catchers that were tring to find Jip and Put. Put got very tired so he told Jip to go a head. Jip felt bad about leaving Put but he did not have the energy to fight with him. I think that this connects to real life because when you leave a friend you feel badly. <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(190, 0, 255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I thought those things could really happen too. Jack Great connection, Maddie! I know exactly how that feels. It's happened to me. Katie

Great job. Something like that has happened to me. I always feel bad when I ask my dad if he needs help and he says no. Thomas D.

Today I am Artful Artist. <span style="font-size: 70%; color: rgb(14, 6, 6);">(The Picture is comming. It just needs to be scanned.) I chose to draw this picture because I felt that it would be miserable to sit in a cabin all alone for hours wating for Luke to come back with food and results about Put.



<span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Great picture, Maddie! I think it would be miserable to wait all alone with no food or people too. Katie <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(0, 198, 255);"> --- Wow great pic! Jack

Today I am Word Wizard. These two chapters I did not think that the vocabulary was that hard. I only found one word.

Whinnies- I think it means cries. It is the sound made of whinnying.

Great Word, Maddie! I didn't know that word either! Now I know a new word! Katie
