Summary: Touching Story of Miss Agnes--A Pattern for Teaching
Comment: Miss Agnes is the first teacher who doesn't repel at the smell of fish....okay, so she has sinus problems and can't smell very well. She also lasts longer than any of the other teachers to this remote Alaskan town in the 1950's. She wears pants and is not afraid of hard work---she even comes in early to start the fire! Miss Agnes reaches each child at his or her own level, including a deaf girl who had never before been allowed to go to school.
This is a touching story that gives great insight into the lifestyle of a culture few of us can relate to. I'm sure there's still some "Miss Agnes'" in the world who love to teach and who love their children.
A great book for a girl in 2nd or 3rd grade or a read-a-loud for a class.

Summary: Heartwarming!
Comment: The Year of Miss Agnes is a heartwarming tale of children in an Alaskan Village named Koyukuk. Fred (short for Fredrika) tells of the trouble her village has in keeping teachers in their small school. Year after year, the teachers leave for one reason or another, which the children believe is some fault of their own. Until the year Miss Agnes arrives and teaches the children in a new and interesting way. Everyone, children and adults included learn valuable lessons from Miss Agnes. The question is, will she stay longer than the others?
This book is written by Kirkpatrick Hill, an author who is a school teacher in the Alaskan "bush". She chooses appropriate vocabulary related to the life they live. She highlights the differences in their culture through the eyes of a child. Most children will be amazed at the responsibilities the children in this book embrace. I think this book would be wonderful for parent and child or teacher and child to read together and discuss. The language is simple, and the Indian words are described in context. Overall, an excellent book to read, discuss and enjoy. I can't wait to read another of Kirkpatrick Hill's books.

Summary: The Year of Miss Agnes
Comment: We all rate this book a 1 star, because it was sort of interesting. It was mainly boring. ALl that occured was teaching and learning. There were not a lot of exciting parts in the story. Although it was in Alaska it still wasn't very adventurous.The characters were not described very well.
