Maniac Magee

 Hi! My name is Jacobe and our first novel in 5th grade was Maniac Magee. The first thing that 

happened in the Maniac Magee book was when Maniac parents died because of a trolley accident.The 

most interesting that happened next was when Maniac met a girl named Amanda at her new school and she was holding a suitcase. I really like the part when Maniac met this guy named John McNab at a baseball field. Maniac was the only person who hit John McNabs baseball throw. This was the really sad part in the book, Maniac met this guy named Grayson a few days later Grayson died and nobody went to his funeral. Finally, the last thing that happened in the book was when Maniac was homeless the Beals family let him stay with them. The book taught me a lesson, I learned to never ever bite off someone's else's candy bar. The book reminded me of something, when Maniac caught the football with one hand it reminded  me a catching a football and scoring a touchdown.

Walker 5th Grade Wonders!!!

When I walked through the doors of Durfee Magnet School I saw my  new teacher Mrs. Walker!!! The one thing that I enjoyed so far about 5th grade is sitting in the computer lab because it is so cool in there. It is so hot in our classroom papers were sticking to my arm. The hardest thing I had to do in the 5th grade was the Maniac Magee questions because I didn't like looking back in the book for answers. If I was a teacher I would let everybody wear a hat every day because they might have a bad haircut or I just wanna be the best teacher in the world. What I expect to learn in room 12 is more Order of Operations. All the stuff that describe me is handsome, can dance, swag,and always a General. All the people that's important to me are my family. There important to me because they love me and I love them back. If I had a best friend it would be Mrs.Walker because she's always nice to me.

Here's the Scoop from room 12

Today is another HOT day in Room 12.  It's Wednesday, September 11, 2013.   The temperature says it is 86 right now.    The hardest part about being in school when it's hot is doing tests.   This week we will be taking two district tests in Reading and Math.  I think I did wonderful.   We have been reading Maniac Magee.   The best part of the book so far is when Ms. Beale slapped Maniac.   I really didn't like it but it sounded funny.   We have been working on Plot, Character and Setting while reading Maniac Magee.   Plot is a series of events that takes the character through an experience or change.   Character is the person or animal in the story.  Setting is where the story takes place.   We will be taking a States Test on September 25th.  I am sue I will take my time and do my BEST!!!!!!!!
