E.B. White takes the time to give details about the different bird calls that Wilbur can hear. An idea for learning at home might be to research what sound birds from our area make. Check out this website from Cornell Lab of Ornithology for an extensive catalog of bird calls. https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/all-about-birds/
Chickadee?
Blue Jay?
Eagle?
Which of these birds has the loudest call?
What do you think of Templeton and how he lives?
Chapter 7 is a good time to talk about “life on a farm”. Where does hamburger and steak come from? Where does a pork chop or bacon come from? What about chicken thighs? Milk?
In Chapter 8, Mr. Arable tells his wife,”Maybe our ears aren’t as sharp as Fern’s.” What do you think he means?

PCES - 1 Book 1 School - Chapters One -Three
We hope you enjoy reading the book with your family members!
Chapter One
You may find that in the first chapter, Avery is able to walk around with a “wooden dagger” and a pellet gun. He even takes it to get on the bus! This is a great opportunity to chat with your family about how things were when you or your grandparents were at school. How have rules and laws changed over time?
After delivering her argument about the injustice of Wilbur being born small, Mr. Arable decides to let her keep him. Does this surprise you? What lessons do you think he wants Fern to learn?
Chapter Two:
Mr. Arable has Fern sell Wilbur to Uncle Homer. How do you believe this home change will affect Wilbur? Will it affect Fern?
Chapter Three
Page 13-
The barn was very large. It was very old. It smelled of hay and it smelled of manure. It smelled of the perspiration of tired horses and the wonderful sweet breath of patient cows. It often had a sort of peaceful smell- as though nothing bad could happen ever again in the world.
How does this description of Zuckerman’s barn enhance your reading of this chapter? Is there a line that stands out to you? Which is it?

FLU SEASON is upon us!
Good afternoon. We are seeing a lot of "influenza-like illnesses" this past week. PLEASE keep your student home if he/she is not feeling well, has or has had a fever of 100.4 or higher in the past 24 hours or has vomited or had diarrhea within the past 24 hours. I've attached a chart to help you decide.
Please call your child's school so the attendance can be properly documented. Encourage fluids, ensure adequate rest at night, and encourage good hand washing. Additionally, if your house gets hit with the germs, wash down frequently touched items such as light switches, faucets, flushes, doorknobs, etc. We are in the heart of the viral season!!
-Mrs. Viera
