The Teacher's Funeral

I just finished reading The Teacher's Funeral to the class.  It is one of my favorite read-alouds.  The kids loved it too.  Nearly every student in the class passed the Accelerated Reader test on it.  If you get a chance to read any of Richard Peck's books, try them.

Here is Garett's take on the book:

Mrs. Christensen read it to us and it was so funny. That book was so funny everyone liked it so much.

It was back in the 1900’s it had a funny sister in it she beat her little brother.

It had the funniest ending. It took us about five weeks to read, but no one cared.

Oh and Glen Tarbox puts gun powder in their stove and boom!
