May 4th Pages 1-28 Connection Creator

I am the Connection Creator. In pages 1 through 6 when Jess was racing himself, I thought about how most of us do track and thought about our track practices and meets. In the begining pages, it sounded like Jess' s family lived in a trailer park and that made me think that they were kind of poor and that made me feel sad because they didn't have much at all.

They are poor, and don't have much at all. There were many clues in the book. You must have recognized them or you wouldn't have made that connection.

I can see where you would think of that for track, it made me think about it also. I would think though that he might have lived out in the country in an old barn house or something like that because he had a cow Miss Bessie, and a huge field to run in. 

 Good point Kate. -Anna

 I am the //Word Wizard. On page 57, paragraph 1, I found a word I didn't know.  I think it means prize or something. I looked it up and the word means being more than or in excess of what is needed or required. Wow! my guess was way off! // 

You don't say what the word is. You are tell us the word. You should be picking at least 2 or 3 words.

In chapter 9, Jess and Leslie went to church with Jess's family. Jess's mom was worried about Leslie not dressing apropriatly for the only time they go to church all year! But Leslie dressed just fine for church in a dress. then they talked about God and the hole Jesus story on the way home. Leslie said she liked to go to church. After they got home, Leslie and Jess went to Terabithia. When Jess got home, MayBell told Jess that she knew about Teribithia. Jess made her swear on the bible not to tell ever to anyone, not even Joyce Ann. YIKES!!!!!! -Anna <span style="color: rgb(0, 135, 255); font-size: 132%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">
