Hello everyone! We're just testing our connection. We have a group of 8 fifth-grade students here in Petoskey, MI that will be reading the Watsons and participating in the on-line discussion. We look forward to sharing ideas with you!

Do you think it was rude what Byron said about his parents, he said," where did I ever get my good looks my parents are already so ugly?

Do you think that Byron got his lips stuck to the car on purpose so that he didn't have to clean the car, but he got a little too much into it. Like he tried to fake it but it really got stuck.

We just started a new book called Watsons go to Birmingham.My favorite character is Kenny because he is mostly the only one we know about.We know alot about Byron,but he is mean.It is surprising that we don't know anything about kenny's sister.What is your favorite character?

In chapter 2, when the bus driver was yelling at Larry Dunn, what do you think he knows about Larry's mother? It must be bad, because Larry shut up. Do you think the author will tell us later in the book? If he put it in the book, where do you think he put it?

I can't wait to chat with you! My question is how do you like the book so far. I think it is really good especially when the dad was telling the kids how they almost had a clown for a dad and when he started to talk in a southern accent. I also liked when Byron got his lip stuck on the mirror because he tried to kiss himself. What was your favorite part in the book and why?

I wonder if Kenny and Rufus will become good friends, like Jess and Leslie in Bridge To Terribithia. Also, if Rufus's little brother will become Joeta's good friend. What do you think?

Hey, we are back on the net! Well anyways do you think that it is right for Byron to give Kenny the big thing of snow in the face for the test? I think Kenny is just plain stupid for letting Byron do it to him. Kenny knows how he likes to torture him. Byron thinks it is hysterical to torture Kenny. Has someone ever been that way to you, Well i know that my big brother always does that to me.
p.s. write me back, please!

Do you think that it is fair that the kids tease or give bad looks to Kenny?Do you know anyone this has happen to or did it happen to you? If it did happen what would you do to solve it? Do you think it would be a fun or not a fun thing to do? If it happened to your friend would you help him or her solve it or let him or her solve it by herself? Please write back, this is one of my best questions ever!

How do you think the relationship is with Joetta and Kenny or with Joetta and Byron? I think both of the relationships are not to strong because Joetta is a girl and she is not in school. What do you think? Please write back.
