Mary C., Grade 2, SFE read Cam Jansen and the Birthday Mystery by David Adler.  She writes:   
 

My favorite character in this book is Cam Jansen. I like her because she is smart. Cam has a photographic memory and she says click to remember the pictures she took with her mental camera. She uses these pictures to solve the mystery of her grandparents missing luggage.






Kaitlyn P., Grade 4, SFE read Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl.  She writes:

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator had awesome characters and my favorite is Mr. Wonka. There are many reasons why he is my favorite character. First of all, I like him because he is smart, funny and interesting. Mr. Wonka is funny because when the president asked him who he was he started talking in an alien language. Mr. Wonka is smart because he knows what every button in that glass elevator does. (There are millions of buttons in there!) Wonka is interesting because he has this giant chocolate factory with over 2,000 rooms. He is also interesting because in his factory he has lots of tiny creatures called oompa-loompas. The oompa-loompas are like Wonka's "test monkeys"/butlers and sometimes they sing songs. In conclusion, Mr. Wonka is my favorite character. I wish he was real!!! (I would love to meet him!!!!)

Paige H., Grade 4, SFE read Just Grace by Cherise Mericle Harper.  She writes: 

My favorite character in the book is Grace. One character trait to describe her is that she is caring. First, she sent cute postcards of Crinkles the cat to Mrs. Luther. Mrs. Luther broke her leg and had a cast on and Grace felt bad and wanted to try to cheer her up. Also when Sammy Stringer was crying, Grace smiled at him to make him feel better. Last, when Crinkles the cat was missing Grace found him and she gave him back to Mrs. Luther. Grace is a nice person and she does kind things for others. I would have given her a super star.

Isabella J.-L., Grade 5, WLC read Judy Moody Gets Famous!  by Megan McDonald


The favorite character in the book I read is Judy Moody. The character trait I would describe my character as kind, grumpy, and jealous. Judy was kind at the end of the story because she took the hospital dolls and fixed them to look like the kids that were there that were sick or had something broken like an arm or a leg that's what made her kind. Judy was grumpy in the book because she tried a lot of stuff to get famous and it didn't work and one almost worked because she got in the news paper you just couldn't see her face. Judy was jealous that one of her classmate's Jessica Finch got her face on the front page of a newspaper for winning the spelling bee and Judy tries to get her face on the front page of a newspaper too by doing things to try to get in the paper to. That's my favorite character and my characters trait and my evidence. 




Riley C., Grade 5, WLC read Frindle by Andrew Clements.  He writes:

My favorite character in Frindle is Nick and his character trait is creative. One thing he did to be creative is they live in New Hampshire and it was February so it was cold so he decided to turn his home room in to tropical island by spreading white sand all over the floor, turned the temp. up in the classroom to about 90 degrees, and having all the boys and girls in the classroom to make palm trees out of green and brown paper and tape them to the corners of all the desks. Another thing he did to be creative is all the cafeteria food in his school is bad so he told everyone not to by lunch so that they would eventually have to start making better lunches so kids will by them. The last thing he id to make him creative is he created a new word (frindle) and he was only 11. That is why Nick is my favorite character and his character trait.
