Reading/Language Arts

This week the class is read the play "Two Bear Cubs" by Robert D. San Souci. In this play, Older Brother and Younger Brother ignore Mother Grizzly's directions of gathering berries and wander off. Both fall asleep on a stone which turns into a mountain. The animals in the forest attempt to rescue to two bear cubs, but are unsuccessful. Measuring Worm offers to help even though the other animals don't think he will be able to it. In the end, Measuring Worm is successful in his attempt to rescue the cubs and return them to their mother.
