The Mouse and the Motorcycle

Armand following along as Ms. Strum reads aloud to the class.

Ms. Strum loves to read. She tells us this everyday. This week we began reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle. This story is by Beverly Clearly. The Mouse and the Motorcycle is a book about a little boy who stays at a hotel where he becomes friends with a mouse. The little boy lets the mouse ride his motorcycle. Ms. Strum reads this book to us daily. We love this book. We like to hear what happens with Ralph and Keith daily. As we read this book, Ms. Strum asks us questions about what we have read. We have done different activities with this book. One activity that we have done was to compare and contrast a mouse from a human. This was a fun activity. After every chapter that we read, Ms. Strum has a retell what has occurred throughout the chapter. We ALL really enjoyed this book. We would encourage everyone to read this book.

In the midst of working on The Mouse and the Motorcycle, we had a surprise visitor. Mrs. Shepherd and Zooey, her precious little baby boy, came by to visit us. Mrs. Shepherd use to teach 1st grade here at our school. We were so EXCITED to see her! Thanks so much for making our day extra special! :-)
