Please access the following link to post your comments on one of the Essential Questions from Kevin Pyle's visit......(this fulfills one of your Writer's Notebook entries for this week) Mr. Pyle spoke about this because Katman, the main character in one of his books, was wondering if he should really continue taking care of sooooo many stray cats because it was becoming a big hassle.....kids often think that it's super cool to just "blow stuff off" , like homework and chores etc, but Mr. Pyle suggested that we ask what's cooler...to care about something or to care about ........nothing?
