Hello? Is there anyone out there? You must be loving summer break--and I am very glad. I am going to go ahead and keep posting, and I hope some of you will eventually join in. To start at the beginning of our discussion, you can go to the post labeled #1, or click on the label "Socks" at the bottom. That should bring up all of the posts about the book, but they'll be backwards. Just start at the bottom and work your way up!
And now, on to chapter 2. Who is telling the story and how do you know? How do you know the Brickers are NOT rich? What adjectives (describing words) give you that information? What do you think is going to happen next? Socks is not very happy; what could an unhappy cat decide to do? (You know I dislike cats, so I can only begin to imagine the trouble an angry cat could cause!) Share your ideas!
Well, that is all for this week. I will do a few posts next week, but then I am going on a "field trip" for school over the following week. I am excited about it. I am going to tour Cherokee, North Carolina and the Stones River National Park in Alabama in order to learn more about the American Indian tribes that lived and still live in those areas. I will take pictures and share all of it with you this fall in 4th grade! I am really looking forward to it! Enjoy your weekend--maybe we'll even get some rain!!

Do you think you could fit in my suitcase? I'll take you with me! Actually everywhere I am going is open to visitors. Here is a website that covers most of what I'll see and do in North Carolina-- http://www.cherokee-nc.com/
In Alabama, I'll be going to Horseshoe Bend National Park. Here is some information about that-- http://usparks.about.com/library/miniplanner/blhorseshoenmp.htm
I'll take a lot of notes and pictures so that I can share it all with you! (But there is still room in my suitcase if you're interested!)

1. Debbie is telling the story, and I know because she keeps saying "I" throughout the chapter.
2. The Bickers live in a "shabby" home, and the word "shabby" lets you know they are not rich.
3. The Bickers might start thinking about throwing Socks out because he is overweight.
4. Socks was unhappy because no one would pay attention to him. Everyone paid too much attention to the baby. The one thing that would make Socks happy is to have someone to pay attention to him. If they continued ignoring him, then he might decide to run away.
5. An angry cat could knock down a vase and destroy your house.
