Review of Akiak

By Sylvia in Mr. Deaver's Class
Hey fourth graders! I'm doing a review about a story called Akiak. Akiak is a beautiful story about a dog that won't give up. Akiak is a 10 year old dog. She is an Alaskan Husky and is dark black with white spots. I really love this story because it taught me when the going gets tough, the tough get going. That is what this book is all about. Akiak's owner, Mick, had to drop off Akiak because her paw filled up with snow and her paw got sore. The reason I'm writing the review is because my class and I, from room 19, wanted to show how this story can teach us loyalty. Akiak is a beautiful dog. She is Mick's lead dog and she is old and she knows the tracks. Mick and Akiak both wanted to win. They were a little bit nervous but they were strong. That's the end of the review.

Don't Look Up....

Another survey has ended and the results are in! 27 people voted and 70% of you said you would use the idiom "when pigs fly." We strongly suggest that if they ever do.... don't look up in case they drop something while flying!!! LOL!!!

Now how many of you know what that idiom means?? The first one to write the correct answer gets a special prize! In the comments section, write the meaning AND a sentence using the idiom correctly and something will be given to you!! Good luck!

Although only 15 students voted, Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss was the clear winner! 53% voted for this book. Second place was Ramona Quimby, Age 8. Third and fourth place was Magic Tree House and Magic School Bus. Thanks to all who voted!
