Sideways Stories and Nickname Games

Todd got in trouble every day… until he got a magic dog.  Ron dared to try the cafeteria’s Mushroom Surprise… and somehow lived to tell about it.  Kathy likes to see bad things happen.  Her favorite song is “Wayside School is Falling Down.”  And it gets worse-- because everything is weird at Wayside School!

Fourth grade Reading Road Trippers are reading Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar, a sequel to Sideways Stories from Wayside School.  The in-a-class-by-itself story features humorous episodes from the wacky classroom on the thirtieth floor of Wayside School, where students learn to tango, develop a bad case of the sillies, and study a hobo during show-and-tell.
Check out Early Pickup Worries, written by Brod Bagert and performed by Sideways Fourth Graders from Lafayette School, Aidan B. and Ryan C.


Hercules?  Mr. E. Normous?  But nothing seemed just right.  And if there was anything the two nicknamers of  6B knew for certain, it was that a true nickname had to fit perfectly….  Eleven-year-old best friends Jeff and Wiley like to create nicknames for their classmates.  They’ve dubbed their own class The Dim Bulbs, their large-eyed principal Deer in Headlights, and their enormous new English teacher Mr. Huge.  Fifth graders are calling The 6th Grade Nickname Game by Gordon Korman A RRT Winner!
