The Tiger Rising


I just finished a book called The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. It's about a boy named Rob who lost his mother to cancer, and lives in a motel with his father. When his school bus arrives one morning there is a new girl named Sistine ( after the Sistine chapel ). She doesn't look very nice until he gets to know her. One day Rob was walking through the woods when he discovers a tiger in a cage! Through the process of taking care of the tiger Sistine and Rob's friendship grows stronger every day.



Three thing I learned from reading this book-


1. Working together can make a friendship grow stronger.


2. I learned about the Sistine chapel and its artwork by Michelangelo.


3. First impressions may not be accurate.

Family Time

Family time can be lots of fun and games, but some family time can just mean being together. On New Years Eve my family got to spend a lot of time together. We played games, and watched some tv, and then we watched the ball drop! We all had fun. Between school and reading my Dad has been very busy, but I understand. We don'tget to have a lot of family time, so Christmas brake was nice for all us. We went up to Ohio for Christmas and spent some time with my Grandma and Aunt Shelly, so we had a lot of family time. The last time we went up to Ohio was when my Grandpa had past away. That was our first Christmas without my Grandpa and I know we all miss him but he is with Jesus now and he is not in any more pain. It was hard but we still had a GREAT time. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
