The Hobbit (Chapter 4 Over Hill and Under Hill)

Hi everyone, when the guys went into the mountains it rained and they needed to find shelter fast so they started to fall asleep on the mountain when they heard smash, smash, smash, it was these trolls in the distance, but they were to far away to come up to the mountain side.  They were annoying so they went into this cave in the mountain side.  They started to fall asleep when Bilbo saw a crack on the cave side.  It got bigger and bigger and then a goblin came out and stole all their stuff.  Bilbo hollered and everybody woke up, but it was to late goblins came one by one and cuffed Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves.  They brought them to the king goblin and he asked Thorin one of the dwarves to bow to him he didn't instead he brought out his sword.  All of the goblins hissed at him. Then out of nowhere a sword came and killed the king goblin.  Then it killed the rest of the goblins.  Bilbo and his friends escaped and ran across the mountain at top speed.  Dori one of the dwarves helped Bilbo run, but then she was pulled into the darkness.  Bilbo flew off and hit his head on a rock.  That's the end of this chapther.

The Hobbit (Chapter 2 Roast Muttin)

Hi everyone, if you read my last post then you would know this is chapter 2.  By the way, Bilbo is a hobbit and Gandalf is a wizard or warlock.  Anyway, after they set off it started to rain and that put down the gang's spirits.  They traveled a while until they saw a fire.  They told Bilbo to check it out because he is the sneaky one.  Bilbo went out and he saw three pretty big trolls.  The trolls were drinking and having a good time.  Bilbo thought that since they're trolls their pockets should be filled, but when Bilbo put his hand in one of the troll's pockets he suspected it and picked Bilbo up by the ankle.  The trolls asked him some questions about why he was there or if there were more of his kind.  Bilbo's friends the dwarfs were not expecting this at the time so they came looking for Bilbo and the trolls attacked.  They captured everyone except for Bilbo and Gandalf.  Gandalf came to them without the trolls knowing and he used his magic to turn the trolls against each oher.  And that's where I'm at.

The Hobbit (Chapter 1 an Unexpected Party)

Hi everyone, it's me Holden this week in guided reading for the blue group we're reading a book on our own and then we have to blog on it.  I'm reading the book The Hobbit.  The Hobbit is in the Lord of The Rings series.  The main character is this guy named Bilbo Baggins.  Bilbo gets a visit from a guy named Gandalf.  Gandalf has a long talk with Bilbo and Bilbo gets mad because Gandalf makes fun of him.  So Gandalf leaves and Bilbo hears his doorbell ring and out of knowhere these dwarwes come out and start having a party (but Bilbo gets mad because they showed no manners).  Then Gandalf comes back and the dwarves told Bilbo that they are going to steal all of the gold from this dragon that supposedly stole it  from someone else.  Bilbo's great grandfather was a great warrior and theft.  So the dwarwes think that Bilbo is the guy to do it.  He says yes and they were off.

The Full Story of Mrs. Frisby

Hi everyone, You remember my first blog on Mrs. Frisby well that was just a sneak peak.  Here are the main points of the story Mrs. Frisby is a mouse that has a family and there are 4 kids. Timothy is really sick because he got bit by a spider so he can't walk or he'll get more sick.  Mrs. Frisby's husband Jonathon Frisby got eaten by a cat named Dragon.  Dragon is a big cat that is a pet to the Fitzgibbon's.  Well Mrs. Frisby found dragon attacking a crow named Jeremy.  Mrs. Frisby figured out that there will be a problem with her family because the Fitzgibbons are farmers and they need to harvest there crops, but Mrs. Frisby lives in the garden where the dad will do his harvest.  So Mrs. Frisby asks Jeremy and Jeremy said that the owl will know.  So Jeremy flies Mrs. Frisby to the owl.  The owl tells Mrs. Frisby that the rats can move her house so they won't get harmed.  Mrs. Frisby goes to the rose bush where they live and she talks to the leader Nicodemious and he says that they can move her house.  Then Nicodemios tells Mrs. Frisby about the rats and how they got to the rose bush.  He tells her that they were captured by a company called NIMH, but they escaped and went to where they are now.  He tells her that the only way to move the house is by giving Dragon a sleepy powder to make him drowsy so when they work he won't attack.  So she put the powder in his food and got caught by a boy in the Fitzgibbons, and she escapes and they moved her house, but the rest of the details are for you to find.

Penguins Endangered

Hi everybody, I bet you didn't know that a penguin is endangered.  The Galapagos penguin species is down to 6,000 to 15,000 penguins.  You might not think that 15,000 would not count as endangered, but that is not that much.  Penguins spend 75% of there lives in the water.  With global warming they might have to be in the water even longer, but with all the predators in the water penguins might just go extinct.  So keep the oceans safe and maybe the penguins will survive.  Here are 3 facts on simple stuff penguins do.


 1. Penguins main diet is krill, fish, and squid.
 2. Penguins can't fly.
 3. Penguins can be found in every place in the southern hemisphere.
