Dear Uncle John,
We have a new pet at our house. I think he lived in the woods near us. He opens lids of trashcans with his hands. He can hide very easily as his stripes camouflage him. I call him Randy. He loves my mom’s cooking. He really enjoys her homemade vegetable soup. I hope you meet him soon.
Love,
Michelle

Read the story below. Then complete the chart that follows.
The Long Wait
Fallon came into cottage in only her stocking feet. She had left her boots and coat on the porch. She began to warm her hands and feet by the fire when she noticed her brother, Dylan, sitting at the kitchen table with a fleece blanket wrapped around him. He was cutting up vegetable for dinner.
Dylan turned toward Fallon and asked, “How is everything outside? Fallon replied, “The house seems okay. I picked up a few plants, but nothing is damaged. There is some water in the window wells that dad may have to bail out, but everything else seems alright.”
“You worried about mom and dad being out in the storm?” asked Dylan.
“Not too much,” said Fallon. “They’ll be home soon. The store is not too far. We do need some food and other supplies in case the storm gets too bad. They want to make sure we have everything we need in case the storm is as bad as the one we had last year.”
“Well, I hope they come home soon,” Dylan said. “I don’t like when we are not all together, especially in a storm like this.”
“I know, I know,” replied Fallon. “I want them to be home too. I want everyone home safe and sound. They make it all seem safer when they are here.”

Homework- Thursday
Read the story below. Then complete the chart that follows.
Family Tree
“Let’s Make a family tree!” said Mary Ellen.
“We can look for family records on the Internet.”
“We could never do that,” said her brother Arthur shaking his head. “The Internet is too huge.”
“Nonsense,” said Mary Ellen. “We know that some of our great grandparents lived in Brooklyn, New York. Using the Internet, we can scan the Brooklyn city records for other information.”
A few computer clicks later, Mary Ellen and Arthur found the city’s records. “Look, there they are!” said Mary Ellen, her hands trembling. “Gloria and Walter Horan were married on June 11, 1969. It says her parents were Sean and Margaret Nichols. His parents were Eugene and Patricia Horan.”
“Can we tell where they were born?” asked Arthur.
“Maybe,” said Mary Ellen. “Here are the passenger lists for ships arriving in Boston in the 1880s and 1890s. Let’s check to see if we can find their names.”
“Look!” said Arthur, staring wide-eyed at the computer screen. “Here are Eugene and Patricia Horan listed as passengers on the Adelaide that sailed in 1888 from Ireland.”
Mary Ellen sighed. “Oh no, that means that if we want more information we’ll have to now find records in Ireland!”
