I'm also very excited like Sofi K said because I think is going to be so good and evrybody is going to like it, agin thank because all this things you are telling us are going to help us in the future.
The fantasy stories are excellent I like them very much. Also this stories are very difficult because we don't now because the vocabulary is difficult for us, with all this you are putting for us we are going to understand better.
See you tommorow.

Hi Miss Ale,
I just finished reading it but I would love to use some of these strategies for another oportunity! They are very helpful but hopefully I understood every single part only that the first part I forgot a little cause I read it 2 weeks ago! It really was long! The good thing is that like I already read big long books like Harry Potter that didn't look so long and it was fun! I wish I could read and write like my cousin the one who wrote that book about learning how to swim! It was really great! Her reading comprehension is great and I have improved alot since June or July last year! I had all nines and tens! I will still use your strategies!
Bye see you tomorrow!

Hi Miss Ale,
Thank you for putting these strategies so we can use them to read better. I am reading What the cat told me and I will do a quiz afterwards with these strategies. That way I can see if I understand it well or not. See you tomorrow!!
Hi Miss Ale!!!
I think that "What the Cat told me" is a very good story.It is a showing text , very long and with difficult text to us to learn difficult words. And help us to take ideas to write a new story .
When I saw the cover of the story I thought it will be a fantasy story because it was about a cat that could talk. I never read I story like that.
I liked it very much.
See you tomorrow.
Miss Ale,
thank you very much! It is very nice of your part to put us this "strategies" to read this difficult text

Very good tips! I will use them for the next story I read because I read this story and as it is very long I don t think of reading it again so i will use this tips for the next story I read. When i read what the cat told me it didnt have so complicate vocabulary or difficult to understand, it was somehow easy and not so complecate.
See you tomorrow And i NEVER TALK IN SPANISH AGAIN!
Miss Ale,
I have already read "What the cat told me" it very very long. I think I will include your tips but with some stories that are a little bit shorter than this one. The vocabulary is mainly easy but it has it special words which sometimes can be words that you don't know. As Andy Eskenazi said: I WILL NEVER TALK IN SPANISH AGAIN.
This coment also counts like homework because I talked in spanish.
It happened again!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote of 10 lines and it appears as if I wrote 7 lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Miss Ale!
Thanks for the tips. It really helped me to read and understand the story of the cat and Boy. Besides, I'm sure it will help us to improve the performance on our tests, especially the one on Fantasy stories!
See you!

Hi Miss Ale,
Thank you very much for putting us these tips, they are going to help me and the other students a lot in 6th and in the other grades too. They can be yousfool when your reading,writing a story or even reading something that you like. We will remember you when we do this maybe in other grades.
And i like all the fantsy stories that we are reading like what the cat told me , the ghost story ,the canterville ghost, and all the others.
Right now i am about to read the other story that comes after what the cat told me.
See you tomorow!!!
Thank youy for posting these tips!!!
Hi Miss Ale!
When you told us we had to read "What the cat told me", I remember we said "BUT IT-S VERY LONG", but if you think it s not so long, (only if you compare it with the other stories of the book). I think the reason why I think it was long was because I read it very at night and the only thing in which I thought was "I WANT TO SLEEP"!! So every minute was an age for me!!!jaja
And I must say that the same thing happened to some people.. ah, but what it was true for me is that it WAS difficult.
We have already discussed this story, but I will use it for the next one, they will be very useful to me! Thanks for them! There s one tip that I think I already use, fortunately, almost always for the reading comprehensions. I higlight the main ideas I go finding in the text so it s easier to find the answers afterwards.
See you on Tuesday!
