Scribe Day

We still had to decide what to read each day so we did it before we started talking about the book. Alyssa and Ariel thought that what we had to read was on the date before but McKenzie disagreed. We called over Ms. Hart and she agreed with McKenzie. We fixed our chart and moved on.

Alyssa gives a brief overview of what we read.
McKenzie and Ariel asked why Francie follows Neeley. I said that she hasn't mentioned any real friends yet.
Ariel says that there's something wrong with the dad. Everyone agrees. I bring up how he gives all his tips to the bar owner.
Alyssa talks about how there's something suspicious about the dad.
I ask about how i wonder when Francie goes back to school if she'll have friends.
I say how its weird how Francie likes to waste coffee, everyone agrees that it's not normal.
We all see some abuse happening to Francie in the future.
We all agree that she is very mature and independent for her age.
Alyssa talks about how Francie goes to the library alot.
I say that I think the book foreshadows that the library is going to burn down.
McKenzie talks about how the tree is weird and hasn't been talked about in the book that much, even though its in the title of the book.
Ariel's passage was about the Jewish pregnant woman and how Francie judges people based on their looks and clothes.
McKenzie's passage was about how Francie's dad was a good singer and everyone loved him.
McKenzie brought up how the dad freaked out and started screaming after Francie said "Oh Papa, I love you."
We all agreed it was weird and that there's something wrong with the dad.
