Cole's Comments

Elaine came from China and moved to San Fransisco as a young girl. She was happy in California. Than her dad had to move to Iowa for work. She started her first day of school and she missed playing jump rope with her old friends.Elaine eats lunch at school on her first day with Keleen. Elaine opens her tin lunch box and takes out fried rice. Keleen has a bologna sandwich. They each eat foods that they are use to.Elaine works with a science partner named Mary Lewis. They had to work together to bring in an object that could fly. Mary Lewis loved frogs but Elaine reminded her they did not fly.When Elaine went home she talked to her parents about her pojects. She told them about her new friend and how she loved frogs. Elaine was acting like a frog in the house. Her dad suggested they make a frog kite.Elaine and Mary Lewis worked on the frog kite with Elaine's dad. He was a great kite maker. They were both excited. They brought the frog kite to school in a garbage bag. All the class wanted to know what it was. They opened the bag and the class was amazed. The book was all about friendship and teamwork. I think it is a good book.
