Welcome Moreland Hills 5th Graders!

This blog is dedicated to sharing our thoughts about the books we read and love. All of the fifth grade students and teachers will be able to see the content and information posted. Keep in mind that there are some ground rules that we all need to follow.

This website will be a lot of fun. This is a great way to communicate with each other at all times. We will share thoughts on books, recommendations, and show are strong thinking as readers.

We look forward to having an engaging and fun time!

The 5th grade teachers

Blog Guidelines

Percy Jackson-Book VS. the Movie

Have you read the Lightning Thief book by Rick Riordan? How about seen the movie? Well, if you've read the book, you would probably know its very different from the movie. First of all, what happened to Ares and Clarisse?!?!? Did they just dissolve in the middle of nowhere!?!?!? What about the whole storyline!?!?!? In the book, they're traveling to Hades lair in search of the lightning bolt, but in the movie, they're going to collect the pearls!?!?!? We liked the movie, but it would've been better if it followed the book more!!!!!!! We would like to hear what everybody else thought. There are many changes from the book to the movie, and it changed a lot of the story. What did we think? Comment about your thoughts!
