about my summer so far.

It has been a pretty fun summer so far and I have alot of plans left to do. I am going to go to key west and Sarasota in a couple of weeks. I will post again when I am in key west!


Sincerely,

I liked the blog better than the home reading sheets because I can read and see other people's blogs. It's also cool because I can actually do my homework on the computer. I can go on any time and view my blog or any of my friends blogs. I like that I can see our classroom videos too. I also like the fact that I have to type a secret pasword to get on blogger.


The reasons I don't like the blog are because I'm not a great typer yet so it takes me a long time to finish. I also don't like that I have to type 2 paragraphs each week. Sometimes it is hard to put in alot of dialouge. I also think that it is easier to just write on sheets of paper. Finally, the blog has things I like and things I don't like but I'm glad we did it.

I am reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. In this chapter I predict that Harry will not get to his classes because there are alot of people surrounding him from his dorm because he's famous and they all want to see him. I also think Harry and Ron will like there school house and classes.

I had a few questions while I was reading. The first question I have is who is Peeves? He is a ghost that pours water on peoples heads and he is basicly a trouble maker. The second question I have is how many staircases are there at Hogwarts ? There are 142 staircases in Hogwarts. That's alot and some of them move. I also got stuck on the word poltergeist and learned it means ghost.

The Awesome Harry Potter book!

I am still reading Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone. It is a really good book. I think that Hermione and Harry are going to be friends. I am wondering if they will be on the same Quidditch team at Hogwarts.

While I was reading the question I had was what are Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff? I learned that these are the names of the school houses and that each person gets put into a different house. I wonder why?
The other question I had was why is everyone so interested in Quidditch? It's because Quidditch is the main sport played in the wizarding world and everyone likes it.

The word I needed help on was nearly. I learned that it means almost.

Awesome Harry Potter book

I am still reading Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone. I think Harry is going to get his wand and find out which House he will be in at Hogwarts. I am also wondering if he will like it and how soon he will start school.

My first question is what type of wand will Harry get? Mr. Ollivander who is the wand maker tells Harry that he needs a 13 and a half inch holly and pheonix feather. Harry tries a lot of wands before his wand chooses him. My second question is how do wand makers make wands? Wand makers can use unicorn hairs, pheonix tail feathers, dragon heartstrings and all types of wood. Some wands are long and some are short. Some are springy and some are stiff.

I got stuck on the word Galleons. Galleons are one type of wizard money. There are also sickles and knuts. My mom gave me the answer because she has read all of the Harry Potter books.

The Awesome Harry Potter book!

I am still reading Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone. It's a great story. I think that Harry is going to ask what Quidditch is and how to play it. I also think that he is also going to buy all of his books, robes and a wand with Hagrid. He might even play Quidditch and love the game.

While I was reading, I had a few questions. The first question I had was, Who is Griphook? Griphook is a goblin. He works at the wizarding bank and is a guard over the vaults. The vaults have gold, silver, money and jewels in them. My other question was what is Diagon Alley? I learned that Diagon Alley is a street where all the wizards go to buy things.

I was confused with the word savage. I learned that it means wild or uncivilizied.

the awesome Harry Potter book!

I am reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I predict that Harry and Hagrid are going to track down who killed Harry's mom and dad. I think this because Hagrid told Harry that his mom and dad were killed by a bad wizard.

I had a few questions while I was reading. The first question I have is why will Harry be famous at Hogwarts ? I believe the answer will be because then he will get to show off your powers. The seconed question I have is why is Hagrids wand hidden in the pink umbrella? The reason is because Hagrid isn't allowed to use magic, so he hid his wand in the umbrella.

I didn't understand the word puncture. My mom told me that is means to put a hole into something.
