Trumpet of the Swan E.B.White

Today we read the first chapter. We met a character, Sam. Here's what we learned about Sam. He absolutely loves to explore. He is strong for his age. He knows a lot about birds. Sam likes adventure. Every night before he goes to bed, he goes in his diary to write what he saw and learned. that day. Before he goes to bed he thinks of a question. He's 11. He walks like an Indian. He is in Canada and has a pony in the U.S.that he rides on a range. He likes going camping with his father. He camps in Canada and lives in Montana. The reason his mom isn't with him is because she doesn't care for wilderness.

It you get hit by a trumpeter swan's wing, it's like getting hit by a baseball bat. Mother swan was making her nest for her babies. Sam was watching the nest. A fox started to sneak up, but Sam struck the fox. The cob came up and was looking friendly at him. Sam wondered how does a bird know how to build a nest. The female layed five eggs. Sam was clever to hit the fox because the fox would eat the mother swan and could not lay her eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shannon.

A cygnet is a baby swan. The eggs all hatched - 5 cygnets. The cob is proud, talkative, protectful and happy. They took the cygnets swimming and went to meet Sam. I think Sam is a very Adventures person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bridget. It is a very good book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Jason

BUT, when he wrote the words "HI THERE"his family did not know what it meant because they did not know how to read!-Jenna Jason- When his teacher asked if a man could walk 3miles a hour ,how much mile he can walk in 4 hours？ Most people will ansewer 12miles ,But Sam answered :Depends how tired he gets.(Jason)he is really smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Shannon
