Our Reflections and Responses to Rudi's Pond

We read Rudi's Pond by Eve Bunting today. Here are our reactions.

20 comments:

  1. In the begging of the book Rudi and his friend did
    everything together. In the middle Rudi got sick and started sinking. In the middle also Rudi dies In the every body makes a pond for him. Also every day a humming bird would come and eat out of the bird feeder Rudi and the girl made.
    My connection to the book is when my cousins dog Bell died on my birthday last year.I loved her very much like the girl loved Rudi.

  2. first, a girl has a best freind named rudi. They do everything together! Rudi has a heart disease, do he`s sick alot.
    second, the girl hears that he is "sinking". She has no idea what that means. But when she hears that rudi died, her whole class tries to make a memorial.
    third, the girl has an idea for an memorial. a pond. they put it by the tree that rudi and her used to climb on. when the cement was wet, the children would write there name on it. before rudi died, the girl and him made a bird feeder, but no bird ever came. then a hummingbird came and ate everyday on it. the girl thougt that was rudi, but it was impossible.

  3. My reflection is that in the beggining rudi plays with a girl everyday.At school and home.But rudi gets sick alot.Because he was born with a heart problem.So the girl played with him while he was sick.They played games on the computer or color.Then rudi got really ill.So he had to go to the hospital.Then he died in the hospital.The girl's parents cried with the girl all night.Then at school they make a pond with ther name all on the wet granit.Then the girl hanged the birdfeeder that her and rudi made.Then everyday a hummingbird came by to drink the sugar water.Then it was summerbreak,so she brang the birdfeeder home.She hoped that the hummingbird would find it.And it did.

  4. In the begining a girl had a best friend named Rudi he and her did everything together one day Rudi got very ill he had to go to the hospitle a few days later he died in the hospitle so his freinds and classmates made him a big posterb and some poams . When he died the class decided to do something to remember him they decide that they will do something so they will not forget Rodi.Rodi and the girl made a bird feeder and the girl decied to bring it to school for the year.The day after she broght the bird feeder to school a humming bird came to the window were she sat . she just, but mabey thogt that the humming bird was Rodi.That book is sad but at the same time happy I think that the humming bird migt just be Rodi.

  5. In the begging a girl talks about her friend, Rudi.He gets sick alot and when he does she comes and draws with him. When Rudi starts to be "sinking" he goes to the hospital.In the middle Rudi dies.The girls class makes a pond to honor Rudi and the girl hangs a bird feeder that Rudi and her made at the pond.In the end a humming bird comes and feeds at it each day.This leads the girl to belive Rudi is the bird.

  6. Frist the girl and Rudi were friends. And Rudi kepted getting sick!In the middle Rudi got so sick that he went to the hostbetle!His whole class sent get well soon cards.And when her mom told her why Rudi was in the hostbetle she understaded.She wanted to go see him she wasn't able to. She never got to talk to him again because he died!That night her mom and dad let her sleep with them she thought that she would never stop crying.So they built a pond because Rudi loved ponds.They made a bird feeder together befor he died, so she hung it on the tree next to the pond.A huming bird came and draink out of it.She thought that was Rudi because he said"If i were a bird I would drink out of it".And that befor it draink the food it look in the window at her!It was getting close to summer so she broght home the bird feeder.She said"I hope that he remebers where I live."

  7. At the beggining a girl and her best friend Rudi always played together,and made a bird house Rudi said "birds will come, if I were a bird i would" but Rudi always got sick.the next few days Rudi got very ill so his parents had to take him to the hospital,then she found out he has had problems with his heart ever since he was a baby. When he was in the hospital he died everybody in his class made a banner, and poems for him. Then she came up with the idea of making a pond for him so they did.she also put up the birdhouse they made, later a humming bird came, that same humming bird came everyday. and she thought it might be Rudi but she thought it couldn't be. lila

  8. Today we read Rudi's Puddle by Eve Bunting. At the beginning Rudi plays with the girl. They made a mocking bird and were best freinds. At the middle Rudi dies because of his heart. The girl is so sad she has to sleep with her parents.At the end the whole school builds a pond to remember Rudi. The girl puts the bird feeder on a tree. But everyday a bird comes the girl thinks somthing but thinks is not true.So the girl puts the birdfeeder on her tree but the bird remembers. by Noel

  10. Dear mom,
    today i read Rudi's Pond by Eve Bunting.
    It all started with a girl and Rudi having
    a lot of fun like they painted their fence,
    and putting their legs in to a pond.
    After a while Rudi gets a heart problem
    and stays at the nurse for a long time.
    Everybody gets worried and draws him get well cards and crafts.In acouple of days he dies.Everyone
    wants to make something long lasting in memory
    of him,they think of a pond because the girl said Rudi likes ponds.Then the girl puts the bird
    feeder on a tree that they made.

    Today we read Rudi's Pond by Eve Bunting
    In the beginning, the little girl tells you how her and Rudi were the best of friends and also how he would get sick all the time, also how they would do everything together. In the middle, the girl got told that her best friend had died and she was sad. She figured out that Rudi had was born with a heart that had been getting worse and worse. In the end, the school builds a pond in honor of Rudi's death then the hummmingbird feeder that Rudi and the girl built a hummingbird came all day.

  13. A girl had a friend named Rudi. They did everything together. But one day Rudi was in the hospital and he died. The girl cried and cried. Then one day her class decided to make a memorial in honor of rudi. They made a pond. Then the girl hung the feeder that her and Rudi had made on a tree. one day a humming bird came to the window and looked at her, and then ate from the feeder. And it did that every day. in summer she took it home. She wondered if the bird would come. And it did.

  14. Today we read Rudi's pond.At the beggining of the story a girl and Rudi were best friends and they did everything together. In the middle Rudi got really sick and died so the girl go sad and always remembered the birdfeeder that they made together.At the end they made a pond near a oaktree where she hung the birdfeeder and she saw a bird
    and she thought the bird was like Rudi.
    I thought it was a nice story.

  15. Today we read Rudi's Pond by Eve Bunting.In the beginning she and Rudi do everything together. They even make birdfeeder for birds to eat from. In the middle, Rudi becomes really sick and goes to the hospital. Their class makes cards for him. He is so ill he dies. Their whole class makes a pond in honor of him. The birdfeeder Rudi and the girl makes is put on the tree that is next to the pond. In the end the girl sees a bird come near the feeder she watches every day. We think she believes the bird is Rudi.
    We think that because in the beginning Rudi says that he would go to the feeder if he was a bird. One other thing they did together was they painted tulips on the green fence. They were yellow.

    Sincerely,
    Caroline
