After Newton accidentally gets “disposed” of, the students in Stink’s class write stories about the adventures they think Newton might be having. What do you think Newton might be doing? Please write your own adventure stories.
-we ran out of time before answering this question!
For January's Book Club, we will be reading Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. We will meet on Wednesday, January 2 at 3:00 p.m.
Someone's been stealing from the three meanest farmers around, and they know the identity of the thief—it's Fantastic Mr. Fox! Working alone they could never catch him; but now fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don't know is that they're not dealing with just any fox—Mr. Fox would rather die than surrender. Only the most fantastic plan can save him now.
