This week we started a new novel; Ms. Bixby’s Last Day. It is about a teacher that has cancer
and means a lot to three students; Topher, Brand, and Steve. These three boys will make a
remarkable plan to skip school, go to a bakery, buy a cake, break Ms. Bixby out of the hospital,
then have a picnic at a park. We also found some Bixbyisms, or sayings that Ms. Bixby says.
An example is; Things are never as bad as they seem. That means that if something seems bad,
then it’s not as bad as you think. Oh, and we learned a new signpost; Aha Moments. That is
when a character figures something out. Oh gee, I forgot to tell you that we have, and will
continue, open mind portraits about characters; Topher, Brand, and Steve. We will be doing those
like so; we draw out characters then fill them in with information.
