22 Days Left....
Suprising enough we only have 22 days left as Gaters. As i sadly bring you this news it is also a new beginning. Even though it is incredibly sad to leave Room 14 we are all going to have a good experience in middle school.(i hope) Wow! This year literally flew by, i can still remember parts of the first day of school. I am really going tp miss Manchester, i wish i could stay. The good thing is that i think i will remember this class and experience for a long time. We have done so many incredible things this year, we truly are lucky to have had Ms. Ullner. If i was given the option to redo 6th i wouldn't have because this year was so fabulous. I have made so many friends that i get to take to Computech with me! (yay ps. credit to Ms. U) I just love this school year! Wow now i know why people always say 6th grade is the best year. All 34 of us will come out of Room 14 being fully prepared for the future. (credit to Ms.U) Am i the only one in disbelief? The only good part about the end of the year is Wild Waters and Promotion Day. Other than that this is the last of our Manchester careers. If you are now crying with these sad thoughts about leaving then please share something profound in the comment area. Thank you Ms. Ullner for giving me the best school year EVER!

Kate's Critique Center
Ginger Pye
by: Eleanor Estes
"He steals the hearts of everyone until someone steals him."
The Pye family buys a fox terrier collie mix puppy for a $1! The family names their adorable puppy Ginger Pye. He is the smartest dog you've ever met, some consider him an "intellectual dog." Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes 306 pages, is perfect for dog-lovers and children about 8 and up.
I would reccomend Ginger Pye to dog-lovers, children, and people who like suspense. It's suspenseful when the Pye's are looking for their dog, but their leads fail. There really isn't anything bad about the book except it can be wordy. Also, It's a long book so it may get boring. I personally found the book captivating. It's in my top 10. I really enjoyed reading it, it was hard to put down.
This realistic fiction novel's theme is pereverance. Jerry and his little sister Rachel never stop trying to find Ginger Pye. Even when all hope is lostfor the town, they continue their search. Months and months passed before they figured out who stole their dog.More months passed before thy could find where their dog was. These perserveering kids never gave up, and they finally found their beloved, stolen dog.
