Third Grade Angels



We just finished our first read aloud book, Third Grade Angels by Jerry Spinelli. Our main character, Suds, experiences some challenges on being "good" for the wrong reasons...just to get a halo from his teacher!
Have you ever had a struggle similar to Suds's? Maybe you wanted to do the right thing, but for the wrong reason? How do you feel about the ending of our book? Please write four to five complete sentences and use the correct capitalization and punctuation.

  2. I think it is a good way to end the story. Because it was all about him and then at the end some one else got the halo. Yes I have done something like that. I can not tell you it because I have don a lot but it was a long time ago. <3

  3. I don't do things like that. Either I do good things for the right reason, or I do bad things for the wrong reason. I think that Suds should not have done it because of the halo. All in all, it's a GREAT book.

  4. I loved the book Third Grade Angels!!!!!!!!! I am sure I have acted good for the wrong reason I but I can not remember them. But hey, we all make mistakes.But we all have to learn to make the right choices. I think it was right for that other girl to get that first halo, because she was helping Suds.

  5. I am pretty sure I don't do things like that. At the end of the book I thought that Gorge/Suds should not have gotten the halo because he was getting way to stressed out. He even believed his mom about secret spies. Third grade angels is an awesome book. I really hoped you guys thought so too.

  6. I think that he shouldn't have gotten the halo first after I read the book. I like that he did not get it first because he was not being good for the right reasons. I have not faced a similar situation that I remember. However, I have faced challenges.

  8. I love Third Grade Angels! It is one of the best books I have ever heard. I have probably done something like Suds did to my brothers before. I can't think of anything specific, but I probably have. I agree that Suds should not have gotten the halo because he didn't really deserve it.

  9. I acted good so I could get my mom to take me to the corner store. Thats not a good reason to act good. If the teacher could, then I think Suds should have got the halo too. I love the book more than peaches!

  10. I think Suds should have got the halo too. I really liked third grade angels and I also think you should just act good even if you don’t get a prize. I loved third grade angels.

  11. I have been good for Christmas so I wouldn't get coal in my stocking. I also think Miss Sims was right not to give Suds the first halo. I think Suds was trying to hard to get the halo. I loved the book and I want to read it again.

  17. I feel bad for Suds because he did not get the halo. But I also think he tried to hard. So Constintina had the right to get it because not everything is fair. Once that happened to me. I was trying so hard to get McDonalds but my brother wanted Whataburger and so that's what we got. He wasn't even trying hard.

  18. I loved the book Third Grade Angels. I thought it was funny Suds that Mrs. Sims had spies. I cant believe that Mrs. Sims didn't give the first halo to Suds. I was kind of like that at camp with having a clean cabin, but my cabin never got the clean cabin trophy! Oh well, life is not fair!!!I loved the book Third Grade Angel.Do you like it???
