The class was going to gym. Richard, Timothy and Noah were discussing who Matthew would sleep <br />
near.<br />
<br />
Chapter 7-No new characters are introduced in this chapter. In this chapter the class was giving guesses for the candy corn. Richard was thinking about how Matthew was spoiling his sleepover. He drew a picture of Matthew and put an "X" on it.<br />
<br />
Chapter 8- We meet Mrs. Paris, a teacher and Jill Simmons a student. The class is making applesauce, but Richard forgot his apple. Matthew offered to share his. But Richard is getting madder and madder about the sleepover and was mean to everyone. At the end of this chapter, Matthew doesn't eat any applesauce because his feelings have been hurt by Richard. Richard doesn't eat any because he is beginning to feel guilty about how he has treated Matthew.<br />
<br />
Chapter 9-We meet another student, Joanne who is Holly's friend. The school has a fire drill and Richard tried to apologize to Matthew. He finds out that Matthew can't come to the sleepover because he is going on vacation to Plymouth.<br />
<br />
Chapter 10-We meet Arthur a 5th grade student and Mr. Mancina. Richard sneaks back to class during an assembly to change the number on the candy corn jar but gets caught by Matthew. they both go back to the auditorium. The play is about Plymouth and Richard figures out Plymouth is in Massachusetts, not Florida like Matthew had said. Richard realizes Matthew is not coming to his sleepover because he figured out Richard didn't really want him.<br />
<br />
Chapter 11- The day has come for the contest to end. Matthew brings Richard three candy corns to sneak back into the jar so he won't get into trouble. Instead, Richard tells Mrs. Rooney the truth. Emily Arrow won the contest and shared the candy with the class. Matthew decides to come to the party and is going to set his alarm so he will get up to go to the bathroom,. He also tells Richard he is taking more baths.Mrs. Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10216478236753735813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089406275912693098.post-30896212245826164642014-10-28T09:13:00.001-04:002014-10-28T09:13:14.442-04:00Chapter 5- It is the next and day and the class is doing Math Buddies. They are practicing time. Richard's partner is Wayne and they finally get to talk. Wayne is worried about who will sleep beside Matthew.

He still did not get to talk to Wayne. In this chapter he stays after to wait on Holly and he goes into Ms. Rooney's room. He tried to count the candy corn through the jar, then he takes some pieces out and lines them up like a fence and then EATS three! The chapter ends with Richard leaving school with Holly.Mrs. Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10216478236753735813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089406275912693098.post-60054149429870229352014-10-24T09:32:00.000-04:002014-10-24T09:32:25.750-04:00Chapter 3- We meet another student Alex Walker.

We meet students Wayne O'Brien, Derrick Grace, and Jason Bazyk. This chapter is about Richard's impatience to tell the class about his sleepover the day after Thanksgiving. He feels sad when a few boys say they cannot come. The students continue working towards making guesses for their teacher's Candy Corn Contest. For each page they read they are allowed one guess. <br />
<br />
After we finished the first two chapters, we worked on short vowel words and contractions. Please check your student's reading folder for these two sheets to review.Mrs. Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10216478236753735813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089406275912693098.post-56004872574524273802014-10-22T09:30:00.000-04:002014-10-22T11:52:39.692-04:00CHAPTER ONE<br />
