I am reading Junie B. Jones and that meanie Jim's birthday. I predict Junie B. is going to think about her party and announce it in class. She probably wants Jim to get mad about her party. I think this because in the last chapter she was sending out invitations to every one in room nine.


While I was reading I had a few questions. The first question I had is why does she want to be twins with Lucille? The answer is that Junie B. doesn't want Lucille to go to Jim's party either. Since Junie B. didn't get invited and she thinks Lucille shouldn't go since they are twins now and twins do everything the same. The second question I had is why did Junie B. turn around Jim's head with her hand? I learned that he was laughing at her because she got in trouble so she got mad. I got stuck on the word ceremonies. It means to celebrate something.

I am still reading Junie B. Jones and that Meanie Jim's Birthday. In this chapter I think Junie B. is going to hand out invitations to her birthday party because her Grandma and Grandpa said that she could have a party of her own. Plus Junie doesn't want anyone to go to Jim's birthday. The only problem is that she has to have it on her actual birth day and that is a week after Jim's birthday. So she is not sure how she will be able to get the other kids not to go to Jim's party and only come to hers.


The first question I had was why is a kid in room nine named Cry Baby William? I found out that it is because he is afraid of everything even a tiny flea. The second question is why did Junie B. take the invitation away from Cry Baby? After reading I learned that this was because she wanted to go to Jim's party but didn't get an invitation so she took Cry Baby's from him. The word I got stuck on in the story was tattletale. I found out that it means a person who tells on everyone.

I am reading Junie B. Jones and that Meanie Jim's Birthday by Barbara Parks. The chapter I am on is called Moving. I think this means that Junie B. may be moving away. I am wondering where she may be moving since it is the middle of the school year.

The questions I had while I was reading are: Where is Junie B. planning to move? and Why does Junie B want to stay on the It's a small world ride? Junie B. isn't actually planning to move at all, she just wishes she could move to Disney world to get away from Jim. She doesn't like Jim because he didn't invite her to his birthday party. The answer to the second question is that Junie B. loves the It's a small world ride so much that she never wants to get off of it.

As I was reading I ran into the word reaction and didn't know what it meant. I looked the word up in my dictionary and discovered that means to respond directly.
