Golf

On Wednesday we had our very first golf lesson. We started by learning how to hold the club and where to place our feet and get the correct body position. We began learning how to drive using tennis balls then moved on to a rubber golf ball. We will be having 4 lessons then hopefully we get to visit a real golf course! Maybe we'll discover the new Lydia Ko amongst us!!!

Class novel

This is our novel we began today. It is called Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver. It is the first in a series called "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness." Today we read about Torak (the main character) and how his father is dying from a bear attack wound. We predicted the story is set a long time ago and we think that Torak might be an American Indian.
