Loser 5/1/14

Pages read: 1-50
Prompt: Describe what you just read.

     In the beginning we read about a kid, who describes Donald Zinkoff. Since he's seen him anyways. Donald is a kid who likes to play and has a lot of freedom. He was always outside and playing with his friends. Donald was a crazy, easygoing kid. He was always smiling or laughing though.

     After 6 years he goes off to school, on the first day his mother demands him to wait for her. When Donald's mother leaves and comes back she find the giraffe hat Donald owns gone and also Donald gone. She looks off into the crowd and sees Donald's giraffe hat. She realizes she's too late and just lets him go like that. When he arrives the teacher tells them how much days of school they have in total until they leave high school. At recess they take his giraffe hat and try to bully Donald. When Donald just smiles and goes along with it, the bullies are discouraged. Also, he has a tendency to laugh lot and doesn't stop.

     In second grade Donald gets a new teacher who doesn't like kids. She gets really mad at Donald for having sloppy handwriting and laughing for minutes. In the Summer Donald gets a new neighbor. His name is Andrew and he doesn't like the new neighborhood he's in. So, his mother baked a cake and gave it to the neighbors. Donald saw the miserable kid and baked him a big snicker doodle. So when he took it next dorr it broke and than, Donald gave him a piece and took everything else and ran. So, he gave everyone in his neighborhood a piece.

  2. I'm surprised that she just let him go like that. This seems like a good book, nice job.

  3. Great blog this week! Donald seems like a nice kid, but just has trouble with laughing. To be Honest there is really nothing wrong with laughing. I find it funny that he gave a piece of snicker doodle to very one in the neighborhood. How big was that snicker doodle?

  5. I think it's funny that when the snicker doodle breaks, he does not give the kid the whole thing, just a piece. Good job this week.
