Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat by Cassey D.

On 3-2-10 the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades went to Fort Dodge for a musical. It was about how Joseph’s brothers sold him to be a slave in Egypt. So Joseph worked for the king of Egypt. Then later in the play the king herd ruckus coming from up above him so he went to his room (that’s the room that’s right above him) it was the queen and Joseph (the servant) kissing, so he through Joseph in jail. Then a while after he got out of jail his brothers come asking for food, so Joseph tricked them by putting a pot in the youngest brother’s backpack to see if the other brothers stuck up for him. They did, so Joseph knew that the brothers had changed so then Joseph took the blame for it. Then the brothers made up.


In your comment if you don’t mind can you please put if you saw the play or not. Thank you, CasseyD.

Setting a Purpose by Cassey D.

Today Mrs. Olthoff taught all the 5th graders how to set a purpose, which means you have to know why you are reading the book you are reading.
There are Many different purposes for reading a book, but the most important ones are, reading for information and reading for fun which means that your reading a book that’s not a A.R. book or you are not reading it to take any kind of test on it.
In the 5th grade class we have to do a sheet about setting a purpose it has 4 columns on it there’s the date column, what you are reading column, reading for information column, and finally there is reading for fun. If we fill up 9 columns by next Monday we will get reworded for it.

What Good Readers Do by Cassey D.

You always need to read the back of the book.

Read every day.

You also need to PREDICT about what’s going to happen in the book you’re going to be reading.

You need to skim and scan, too.

You also need to use this thing called the five-finger rule.
That is when you pick any page in you’re book then read that page. If you don’t know a word put one finger up. If you get to all five fingers up then that book is probably too hard for you, but you can only do that with for-fun books.

Then make Connections. That is when you connect something that’s has happened, will happen, or is happening around you. There are three different kinds of connections like text to world, text to text, text to self.

Set a purpose why you’re reading that book.

Get an A.R. book, which means accelerated reader.

Also, when you are taking a reading test you need to read the questions before you read the passage. So you know what you’re looking for in the passage that you are reading.

You need to make a mental image in your head, which means you make a picture in your head while you reading.
