This blog was created as a way for us to share what's going on in our Social Studies, Reading and English classes. Mrs. Schauer will try to post daily this year, sharing what's going on in our classes. We will mostly post about books that we're reading in class, or books that we're reading on our own. Sometimes we will just post random stuff we think is interesting. We hope you enjoy our blog!

ON MY HONOR, by Marion Dane Bauer (Written by Payton)
On my Honor is about two boys named Joel and Tony. Joel likes to play it safe and Tony is a person who never follows the rules and takes it to the extreme. One day Tony tells Joel that they should climb the Starved Rock bluffs but Joel wanted to go swimming at the pool instead because he heard that someone had died while climbing the bluffs. Joel asks his dad if they could ride to the state park, expecting him to say no because it's too far away. His plan completely backfires though because his dad says yes. When they finally get to a bridge, Tony says they should go swimming in the river. Joel says it's a stupid idea to go swimming in the Vermillion river but Tony goes in anyway. Joel is really worried and stressed out because he had told his dad on his honor that they would ONLY go to the state park. Will Joel go into the Vermillion river? You'll have to read the book to find out!
