Mood:  energetic
Now Playing: Weeks of Dec. 8-12 and Dec. 15-19
Over the next 2 weeks, we will be covering the story "Mowgli's Brothers." This story is from the well-known book and movie "The Jungle Book."

Monday - Today, we will think of words that describe the jungle, or rain forest. We will become familiar with our new story, "Mowgli's Brothers." We will go over page 127 to preview the story and the story vocabulary. Students will write the definitions of these words. Tonight's homework will be to finish writing these definitions, if necessary, and complete the vocabulary practice worksheet.

Tuesday - We will begin by going over the story vocabulary definitions and then checking the voc. practice worksheet. We will read part 1 of the story.
No homework tonight!
