Caddie Woodlawn (4)

Caddie Woodlawn
Last week (for this day 2) we read five chapters from our book. This week (for the next day 2) we are going to read five chapters.

My Job: Discussion Director
     My Questions:

             1. Do you think Tom stole Caddie's silver dollar to buy a Valentines Day card for a girl?
I think that Tom stole Caddie's silver dollar because a silver dollar is worth a lot, and he wanted to buy a really nice Valentines day card for a girl. Also, in the book, Caddie says that Tom can't save up money, which means that he must have got the money without earning it.

             2. Do you think the Indians will kill the white people?
I don't think so, mostly because a few Indians know Caddie and her family and are their friends.

             3. Why would the Indians kill the white people?
I'm not really sure what would make the Indians want to kill the white people, but I know that some white people hate or are scared of the Indians, which could be a reason.


In the last five chapters that we read, the Woodlawns get to hear Mr Woodlawn's childhood story, then go to school. Next, Valentines Day comes and the children are excited to go to school on Valentines Day. The day before, Caddie goes to a shop to buy comics for her brothers, sister and friends, and only brings 6 pennies with her, leaving her silver dollar at home. At the store, she sees Tom run in, and the second day (Valentines day) a girl gets a really pretty card, the one Caddie saw in the store but was way too expensive for Tom, and she could have gotten it with her silver dollar that she left at home. Later on,  they found out that Nero, the family sheep dog, which Uncle Edmund took away to the city so that he could get trained, ran away and got lost.

For the next week we are going to read five chapters again.
