Today we reread a few more pages of Mulan, doing so close reading, and having a discussion about Mulan's feeling whist in the Chinese army. We took clues from the text and pictures in order to make an appropriate inference about her feelings.

We also stored a couple of words in our vocab book as well!

Oh, and we started our discussion on literal vs non-literal phrases!

Ask your child about Captain Hardcastle!

And about Goat's Tobacco!

Ask your child about Johnson the plant!

One student asked that I tell everyone about National Geographic Kids: Animal Jam. It's a game that deals with animals. Check it out and see for yourself!
