Every term our class has a shared book. This term we read Because of Winn Dixie, it's a book about a girl and her dog. The girls name is Opal, she wants to buy a bright red collar for her dog but she doesn't have enough money. The owner Oatis says she can work there to save up. The next day she goes early to work and spots Oatis playing guitar to the animals, they seem to love it.
On the walk back she meets the Dewberry boys. Winn dixie runs into a backyard and the twins say he won't survive because it is the witch's house. She walks into the backyard and she sees a lady feeding him Peanut butter by spoon. She gets to know Opal and soon they are great friends. Opal goes to the library to find a book to read aloud to Gloria Dump. She reads it aloud so she doesn't hear the past.
Mrs Franny block works at the library. In her desk draw she has a stash of littmus lozenges they taste sweet and sad. In the book that she gets for Gloria dump they have a barbecue party. They decide to do the same. Oatis brings his guitar, Mrs Franny block brings littmus lozenges and Opal brings Winn Dixie. Mrs Franny blocks announces that she wants to put littmus lozenges back in business.
Hello Sarah, I like how you really summarised the whole book. I remember doing the activities for this book, I enjoyed doing the littmus lozenge the best. Next time you could include some photos of the activities. Did you enjoy the book?
