When I was Young in the Mountains

Our story this week will be When I Was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant.  Our skill will be setting.  All groups will be reading this story and taking a comprehension quiz over it on Thursday.  Here is a YouTube link to the reading of the story.

Yellow, Orange and Green Groups will be tested on the following vocabulary words:

pasture--a large, grassy area where animals feed on the grass

mound--a heap or pile of something

heat--to cause something to become warm or hot

shiver--to shake because you are cold or afraid

dusk--the time when day changes into night and the sky gets darker

threaten--to say or act like you will harm something unwanted

We will also be reading about the Appalachian Mountains this week.  I encourage all my kiddos to do their own research to help understand better and learn more!
