Our guest reader Mrs. Dinardi read a book "Pink and Say" by Patricia Polacco to our class today.
We really enjoyed this story and wanted to thank Mrs. Dinardi for reading the book to us.
Story Summary
This Civil War story was passed from great-grandfather to grandmother; to son, and finally to the author-artist herself, Patricia Polacco. It is the story of Sheldon Russell Curtis and Pinkus Aylee, two Union soldiers. Sheldon, who calls himself “Say,” was wounded in a fierce battle, left for dead, and found by Pinkus (Pink) in a pasture in Georgia
Pinkus’ skin was the color of polished mahogany, and he was flying Union colors like the wounded boy. Pink picked Say up out of the field and brought him to where the black soldier’s mother, Moe Moe Bay
She cared for both boys, but they were putting her in danger; two Union soldiers in Confederate territory. They had to get back to their outfits and were faced with a difficult decision. This poignant story is one of the shared humanity of peoples of this world.

Dear Mrs.Dinardi,
I love how you read the story Pink and Say with lots of expressions. You really made me fell like I saw the whole thing. I liked the story because it tought me how hard it was back then.
I also liked the story because it was very nice to hear. The story was a bit sad because Moe-Moe Bay died because someone shot her. :(
Thanks for reading the story to our class as our gest reader!

Hi this is Revanth,
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs.Dinardi,
Thank you coming and reading Pink (Pinkus) and Say (Sheldon). The book because it tells about the Civil War and the characters Pink and Say are from the North both are on a different army, Pink is from the Color army and Say is from Union army because Pinks face color is mahogany and and Says face color is white that's why their in different army's because their different colors. Another reason thank you is because the book talks about friendship and caring and telling the army's of Civil War like the Union soldier Confederate or Marauders Soldiers.:)
THANK YOU

Dear Mrs.Dinardi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to our class-
room and reading to the class.
What I picked up from the story was carefulness,
helpfulness, faithfulness, loving, believing,
bravery, and confederates.
I love the way you sort-of made the book come to
life with the accent.
Sincerly,
Saleehia
