  1. Hi, Belmont Book Buddies! This is Mrs. Falcinelli, the queen of Team Falcinelli. My hobbies include reading, traveling, cooking, and enjoying bananas and an occasional piece of dark chocolate. Ü My favorite genre is realistic fiction. I love stories that touch my heart and are so realistic that I find myself falling in love with characters and animals that never really lived! My team LOVES Wonder. Besides R.J. Palacio, my favorite fourth grade authors also include Peg Kehret, Louis Sachar, and Sharon Draper. I also just discovered Liesl Shutliff, the author of Rump. I am on the lookout for a new GREAT read aloud. It would be fun if both of our classes could read the same book and make predictions together. I cannot wait to hear your suggestions. Write on!

  2. Hi Parkside Book Buddies! My name is Ms. Humphreys and I'm super excited to meet all of you! I did meet one of your classmates at the Greater Grand Rapids Spelling Bee where she impressed me! Like Mrs. Falcinelli, I love realistic fiction although I am learning to love fantasy books since so many of my fourth graders are reading them and convincing me to read them as well. Our class is currently reading The Julian Chapter and we are loving the whole book. My favorite authors include Ann M. Martin, Gordon Korman and of course Beverly Cleary. My family used to call me Ramona because they said I looked and acted like her when I was a kid. Mrs. Falcinelli told me about Rump and I loved that book as well. I just finished reading Chasing Vermeer which had a ton of puzzles in it that I just loved. Can't wait to learn about you!

  5. hi people that don't know me. I am Andrew Seim. I must say that my favorite authors are Inbali Iserles, and Jerry Spinelli. My favorite food would have to most probably be....TACOS!

Bactirian camel. My favorite types of books would have to be fantasy, Biography, and informational. if you want to respond in someway, you will most likely know where to find me. Signing off, Andrew Seim. :]

  32. Hi Belmont Buddies! I am Olivia. I play soccer and love doing anything outside. I also love READING, a lot, and snacking on popcorn. I have many pets, including a big husky lab mix puppy, a fat bunny, a cute guinea pig, a fast bearded dragon and my formerly stray cat who loves to read and cuddle up with me! (I am by far her favorite!) My favorite genre of book is fantasy, for sure! Some of my favorite authors are JK Rowling, Rick Riordan, Erin Hunter and Jessica Day George, however if they can write a book and open their imagination I love them for life! I love most books, but a few of my many favorites are the Kane Chronicles, How to Train Your Dragon (the original series) and Rump. Read on
