May 6th, Artful Artist, chapters 1,2,3



==My picture is about when Sam Gribley is waiting outside the library for it to open so he can get a book to find his great grandpa's land called Gribley Farm. I drew Ms. Turner inside the library because she is the librarian and helps Sam find his great grandpa's land. I also drew a falcon because that is Sam's pet. Sam got there too early so he had to wait till it opened.==

May 6th, chapters 4,5
==My job is the Super Summarizer. These chapters are about when Sam finds Gribley Farm. He is very hungry and finds a few nuts and an old apple under and on many different trees. When Sam gets to the land he sees that the house he thought was still there is all ruined. Their is nothing left of it and their is a huge tree where the living room used to be.== ==Nice summary Coco! How come there is no picture for when you were the Artful Artist? -Sami Sami- I am not sure why it is on there but I did draw a picture!! Coco O! I see it now! I really like it! ==

1. Im not sure why Sam took the pet I think that he wanted it so when it gets old enough the bird can help him hunt for food.
==2. I would need my parents I think but Sam seems very independent and knows what he is doing so I think that if he is doing fine still and it has been like a month being away from them that he could really stay away from them for as long as he wants.==

==Today I am the Connection Creator. Now, I am going to relate chapters 12-14 to my life. While in chapter 12-13 there are many different things that happen and one of them is when Sam throws a Halloween party for all of the other animals in the woods it relates my life because I also like to throw parites with all of my good friends and just like when Sam was having a good time until the raccoons wrecked his house, I always have a good time with my friends, except they don't trash my house!! :) I also like when Sam meets the college english teacher, aka " Bando" because I always like to meet new friends and even if it looks like they are mean you should always at least try to be nice.== ==Coco I think this is really good connecting to real life. I throw parties all the time. Well, actually not but I throw parties sometimes. Coco the chapters you picked to connect too were really well chosen. ==

Pouches- pg. 106 Pouches are pockets used to hold or carry items. In the book, Sam used his enormous pockets to collect his nuts and the meat he gets.
==Daniel Boone- pg.110 paragraph 1. Daniel Boone explored new lands to find more space. He founded Boonesbourgh the town where settled in with his family and friends. I also mentioned Daniel Boone because we just learned about him in S.S. ==

==Today I am the passage picker. The passage I pick is on page 124 paragraph 3. The onion soup was about to be served when I heard a voice calling from a distance, "I know you are there! I know you are there! Where are you?" "Dad!" I screamed, and dove right through the door onto my stomach. I like that little bit of that paragraph because it seemed like Sam liked to see his father care for him and actually take the time out of his day to come look for his son. I also like that paragraph because I think it is very cool that out of all the Gribley's land Sam''s dad looked in the right place and found Sam. This part makes me feel very happy for the two of them because they get to have a little father-son bonding time,( except Bando is there too so they are not alone!) - Coco What do you think? (P.S. what pg are we supposed to be on, because I lost my book but I got a new one today. I can read a lot over the weekend. - Coco ==

Well now we are supposed to be done with the book. Good job coco I like that passage a lot too!

Today I am the Connection Creator. I am going to relate to my life now on pg. 170 paragraph 2. " Wanta stay and spend the night?" I asked him somewhere along the way. "Sure," but added that he go home and tell his mother. This relates to my life because when I usually have friends over on weekends I ask them to spend the night and they always have to ask their parents. Another one is on page 174 when Sam's whole family comes to see him in the woods. It relates to me because I am always so excited when my family, aka parents come home from a trip because just like Sam was happy his parents made it there safely I always feel happy when my family arives safely from their flight too. What do you think???

I think that when my parents come home from a trip it reunites our family. Adam 

That was great connecting to your life! What you said connectecs to my life too! Great Job! ~Sami Ps. I cont wait to work on our poster this afternoon!

Today I am the Word Wizard!! Here are the words that I picked, or that I didn't know. Hammocks- simple bed woven by cotton or fibers. The Native Americans used to use these, but they called them "hammacas" Self-sufficient- to rely on yourself, independent. Sam was self-sufficient because he could build his house and gather food by him self. Laundry chute- Is a place where there is a drop from a higher level to a lower level where you can put laundry down it instead of carrying it down the stairs.
