This blog site is used by my 5/6 grade literacy students. We integrate our literacy with our social studies learning so connections to our writings are connected to this site also. We use this blog to communicate our literacy and social studies experiences. It is our hope that it will be an interactive blog with relevant comments peer to peer and also family members, other educators, and/or interested people. Our blog will continue to change with our learning.

Seer of Shadows Jenna
The book I am reading is Seer of Shadows it is about a kid named Horace and he wants to be a photographer so he is working for what he thought was a rich photographer but turned out to be kind of poor. Right now they are taking a special picture of a very rich women and her daughter just died of what she said was a fever. But a slave girl that is a house worker for this rich women said that the daughter died because she was getting sick and they didn't want to take her to the doctor and they didn't help her at all. So the women wants a photo of herself so she can put it on her daughter's grave. But the mother thinks the daughter is a ghost. So Mr. Middleditch (the guuy that Horace works for) thinks he will get more money if he somehow puts a ghost of the daughter in the photo. So he came up with a way. Horace is going to go and take a photo of a photo of the daughter. But Horace feels horrible about what he is going to do because they are going to trick the rich women and put the photo that Horace took and put that in the photo of the women so it looks like the ghost of the daughter is in the house and then they will get more money because they will charge higher prices.
