Second Semester Thoughts...Welcome Back!

Welcome back bloggers.  It has been a while since we posted.  Though we are busy composing our descriptive narratives about home, I am also anxious to read about what you are reading.  I just started a book I was given over Christmas break, A Dog's Journey, which is a sequel to A Dog's Purpose.  I haven't had much time to read, but I am looking forward to starting it this weekend.  By the way, it was given to me by my secret pal here at school...Think she knows me well?

Several of you read A Dog's Purpose, and as you know, it traces a dog's life through many rebirths and poignant stories about a dog's relationships with his families. It is told through the dog's point of view.  Right away I think of Katie, my dog who took it upon herself to babysit my new grandbaby when she lived her first year at my house.  Katie laid under her crib, sat by her high chair, waited by the bathroom door, and stayed as close as she could to her "new baby."
So dive in!  Tell us about the book you are reading independently this quarter, any connections you have, predictions you make, and so on!

More later...I made a video of the two of them and pasted it above!  Indulge me; grandmothers like to show off their pictures!)

  1. Thank you so much for sharing your reading response about, A Dog's Purpose. I also have a dog that I love very much and she is my mother's new "baby." I think that it is so interesting how our dogs become such characters in our lives! I wonder if Katie knows she is a dog. I am also reading a book that has a dog in it called, Where the Red Fern Grows. I will keep you posted on what is happening in this book through my blog post,so be sure to check it out! Thank you for sharing, Ms. Wood
