Review on Rules

by 2 students in Mrs. Polito's reading class.

In reading class we are reading a fantastic book called Rules. This book is about a boy named David who has autism. Autism is a disease where it is hard for that person to understand what is happening. David's older sister Catherine makes all these crazy rules for him because he only likes to obey rules and nothing else. This book is full of humor but it is also sad at the same time. I think that almost everyone in 5th grade would enjoy this fun filled book. Read to see what happens to Catherine, David, and to hear all of the funny but serious rules.

Mrs. Polito's reading class is reading a really nice book called ''Rules''. It's a really nice book because it shows you what life is like with a brother who has autism. Catherine (the main character) is always trying to keep her brother out of trouble. Catherine really just wants a normal life with a best friend. Soon her wish comes true when a family next door move in.....

Slipper Day!

Let's decide as a class when to have slipper day! Stay tuned!

It's time to enjoy the weather...

So make sure you come to school and are dressed appropriately everyday! Starting today, if you do not have a winter coat for recess, you will spend recess in the office with Mrs. Crowley and Ms. Csensich. It is much more fun to be outside, running around, and playing with your friends than sitting in the office! Also remember hats, scarves, boots, and gloves. See you tomorrow with all of your "cold weather gear!"
