Weekend Homework- May 8th-9th

Poison Ivy

Last March Darrell went camping with the Boy Scouts. It was a three-day

trip. The scouts hiked deep into the woods. Everything they needed – food,

plates, forks, spoons, sleeping bags, tents, and clothes – was in their backpacks.

Before the trip, Darrell did not worry about the animals in the woods. He did not

worry about the darkness at night in the woods. What he did worry about was the

poison ivy. Oh, how it made him itch! One time Darrell had had poison ivy over every

inch of his body. He had oozed, itched, and scratched for three weeks. It was not a

cheerful time.

At first, Darrell did not remember what poison ivy looked like. It was green and had three

leaves. But a lot of plants were green with three leaves. He looked at books about

poison ivy to try and remember what it looked like. Before he left on the trip, he really

did think he remembered what it looked like. He was ready to stay out of the way of the

poison ivy.

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home. A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’. Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica. Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist. An international tourist is someone who travels across international borders.
