In the beginning, Junie copied May's homework and her teacher, Mr. Scary sent a note home. She got in trouble and her parents got angry at her.

In the middle, Junie's best friend Herb, let her cheat on the spelling test. They told on themselves and their parents got mad again.

In the end, they were working in groups writing a poem. Junies group got an A+ on the poem. Junie learned a lesson. The lesson behind the book is don't cheat or lie because the outcome will not be good.

My favorite part was when Junie B. called May a big, fat, pinhead. That was my favorite part because when she said that, they started a fight. The characters in the book were interesting. They were all interesting because they said many funny things. I did not have a favorite. They were all cool. Junie B. has some characteristics like me. She was like me because she is outgoing and funny and so am I.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading funny stories that make you laugh.

Junie copied May's homework and her teacher, Mr. Scary sent a note home. She got in trouble and her parents got angry at her, which obviously is not good. Junie's best friend Herb, let her cheat on the spelling test. They told on themselves and their parents got mad again.... Then, they were working in groups writing a poem. Junie's group got an A+ on the poem. Junie learned a lesson not to cheat or lie because the outcome will not be good!!!

This book gets five stars because it is such an easy and fun read for people who are just starting out. If you enjoy reading funny stories and you want to laugh, read this book! It also teaches a good lesson to young children not to cheat!

I read this book as part of an assignment for my Washington State University Teaching & Learning 307 class. In this Junie B. Jones book, Junie has now passed from being a kindergartener to a first grader. This first grader not wanting “Mr. Scary” her teacher to find out that she has not completed her homework she decides to borrow the work from one of her classmates’ homework. Her teacher soon catches on seeing that Junie’s homework is identical to her classmates. He then talks to Junie telling her that this is not “borrowing” the correct term is cheating. Mr. Scary sends a note home to her parents. At home she gets talked to, her parents don't yell at her, but they do make it clear that cheating isn't right. Junie B. finds herself cheating again on her spelling test but this time her and her accomplice decide to turn themselves in. once again there are consequences, but Junie B. finally learns that cheating is not good. The moral of the story can serve as a great lesson to kids that cheating is not morally correct in any type of form.

My love for Junie B runs deep. I read all 30+ with my son many years ago and found this on our bookshelf and read it with my daughter over the last few days. Daughter: “Mom, could we read some more of that Johnny McJones book?”

This was always one of my favorite books growing up! The way Barbara Park talks about the adventures and experiences of a first grader is extremely relatable. In this book, Junie B., Jones makes a bad decision and cheats off of one of her friends. The outcome is not good!

As a teacher, I will definitely use this book in my class room. Not only is it extremely relatable, but it is also extremely engaging for the students. Any child can put themselves in Junie's position to see it from her point of view and to understand the consequences of her bad decisions. It's a great book to teach about honesty and integrity.

Junie B Jones was in a lot of trouble when she realized that she didn't finish her homework over the weekend. Her assignment was to write about what she did over the weekend, but instead of writing her own, Junie B. decided to copy her neighbors assignment. May, her classroom neighbor, had left her assignment on the edge of her desk while she was out of the room. Junie B. thought this was a perfect time for her to copy May's assignment. The class had to read their papers aloud to their class. Once the teacher realized that May and Junie B. had very similar weekends, she questioned them about it. Junie B. admitted that she forgot to complete her assignment so she copied May's. Once Junie was caught, she vowed to herself that she will never cheat again. That afternoon, her friend admitted that he had a copy of the spelling test. Junie B decided to look at the test with him. Since she felt bad right after doing this, Junie B. admitted this to her teacher and she had to take a zero on her spelling test. Throughout the remainder of the book, Junie B. cheated in other ways as well. Towards the end of the book, Junie B. realizes how bad cheating is and she vows to make herself stop.
Junie B. Jones series is the perfect series for students who are beginning to learn to read. They are very easy to read chapter books. The chapters are short and the print is large so it helps the students feel like they have read more, this will also encourage the students to read more. All of her stories are very funny and they constantly keep the students interested because of the humor that Junie B. Jones has. Junie B. Jones is very relatable for all students because the things she goes through, all students also go through. It is written as if she is writing in her journal and all young students keep a journal so I also think this makes it relatable. I think this series is perfect for students who are in second or third grade and trying to finish their first chapter book on their own.
