Hi Readers,
We just found out that Sam's family is moving into the woods and planning on building a home next to his tree(s).
Make several predictions about what you think will happen next, what life will be like for the Gribleys out in the woods and what Sam will do...don't forget to explain why you're making those predictions.
I am interested to hear how you PUSH your thinking!
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Winter is Coming!
Hello Readers,
Winter is almost upon Sam! Write a paragraph explaining your thinking about what Winter will be like in the woods for Sam. What do you think he is prepared for? Not prepared for? Do you think he'll make it through? What else might happen? Remember, I will not post until I believe you put in a 4 effort.
