How are you liking this book? I enjoy it very much. It just gets keep getting better and better, don't you think?

I'm proud of you for knowing what malice means. I think that Sophia was saying things with malice because she was so mad.

Here's what we'll talk about in chapter 9.
1- What did Florence and Sophia do in the snow outside?

Do you have any pets? I have a white rabbit that is named Twitch. He is so adorable.:) yesterday my little brother and I took our rabbit outside for the first time. Twitch was hopping around in the snow and he was falling half way under the snow.

P.S. What are page or chapter are you on. Is the pace we are going at good? Have fun reading!!! :)

Well, my favorite ice cream definitely has to be either cookie dough or A&W twist.
During chapter eight there is this word, malice, do you know what it means? If not, can you look it up tell me? Thanks! ;) P.S. Do you like pirates or princesses better? I like pirates better because they get to go on exciting adventures across the seven seas. I am a very adventurous, tomboy. I don't mind getting dirty or getting hurt. What would you want to be? Have a great weekend and enjoy the snow we are supposed to get. :)

The Conversation for Chapter 6

Hey!! This book just keeps getting better and better, don't you think? These are some questions I had about the book.
1- What did Florence do to Nellie?
2- What is your favorite sport?
Mine has to be basketball. It is very fun to play and I enjoy being able to play it against other schools. We play Atlantic this Thursday. :) Have fun reading, because I am.

Chapter 6

That sounds interesting.I think that Sophia wanted Florence to find the dolls in the attic trunk.

1- Why do YOU think that Mrs. Dawson won't believe Florence when she says she saw Sophia?
2- What is your favorite color?
Mine has to be green. I like darker greens.

Chapter 5

While I was reading chapter 4 I was kind of getting goose bumps. It was really creepy. I don't know what the fountain ment by HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE. It might mean that Sophia is everywhere by Florence.

Here are a few more questions to think about:
1- What was in the trunk in the attic?
2- Where did you go for Thanksgiving?
I went to my cousins house in Des Moines. We played outside because it was really nice. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! :)

Chapter 4

Hey Faith!!!!
Thanks for wishing me luck! My team ended up placing 17 out of 32 teams.

I thought Nellie seemed very nice. I think that Nellie wants to become friends with Florence, but she is afraid.

How about we go easy this week? I can't believe that we only have 2 days this week!!! These are this weeks questions. :)

1- what did the fountain in the garden say?
2- What is your favorite Thanksgiving desert?
Mine definitely has to be creamy pumpkin pie with whipped cream or cheese cake with strawberries. Happy Thanksgiving!

Assignment 2

Chapter one, I thought, was very interesting.I can't wait to see what happens to Florence at Cruthfeild Hall!!!

This is what I came up with while I was reading....
1- Florence Crutchfeild
2- Thomas Crutchfeild, her uncle, sent for her.
3- A fussy lady, a Bible reader, and a rough fellow.

How about we read chapter 2. We'll just keep reading at what ever pace we need.I will assign a chapter whenever you get done reading. Don't feel rushed.

Here are some more questions to think about while you read:
1- Where is Florence going to live?
2- Why was there no one to meet her?
3- What do you think about the way Aunt Eugenie acted when she saw Florence?

I can't wait to see what you think!!!

Week 1

Hey Faith,
I like cupcakes too, especially the chocolate ones with filling in it. I was thinking that for the first week that we can read chapter 1. Some questions to think about are while your reading: 1- Who is the main character, 2- Why is she leaving the orphanage? 3- Name 3 other people that were in the coach. This is just food for the mind and it will help us understand the book a little easier. Tell me if we can read faster, or if this is a good pace. Have fun!! :)
