Main Idea & Details

Eugin finds it difficult to adapt to his new school.

Eugin gets off on the wrong bus stop.

Eugin can’t understand the teacher who is trying to help him.

Eugin can’t find his classroom.

Character ConundrumWhich statement best describes Eugin? Underline evidence to support your answer using ORANGE.

A Eugin is timid and unsure of himself. B Eugin is nervous but determined to be successful in his new environment. C Eugin is angry about his new situation. D Eugin doesn’t understand English.

Rain slid slowly down the window of the bus. Eugin’s gaze lingered on the grey sky. He caught himself wondering if it was raining in Africa before quickly pushing the thought from his mind. It was easier that way--if he didn’t think about home, he didn’t miss it so much.

Eugin felt the bus lurch forward, coming to a stop in front of a large, towering building. His mother’s voice echoed inside his head, “When you see all the children get off the bus, you get off, too.” He watched as the kids around him began to gather their backpacks, chatting giddily as they made their way toward the double doors that would lead them off the bus. Eugin felt his heart begin to race, and beads of sweat dotted his brow. When he tried to grab his backpack, it slid from his fingers, but he caught it before it hit the ground. He slung the bag over his shoulder and merged into the crowd of children. As he was being shuffled along, he noticed a few kids still sitting in their seats, but he assumed they were just waiting for the crowd to clear. Again, he could hear his mother’s advice, “Just stay with the crowd of children, and you won’t get lost.”

When he got off the bus, he stood at the base of the steps, school map in hand, looking up at the building in front of him. Kids pushed their way around him, occasionally bumping into his shoulders from behind. Suddenly, Eugin heard the roar of the bus engine and turned around to watch the bus begin to crawl through traffic. He noticed that most of the kids were walking into the school, so he followed. As soon as he set foot into the school, he fumbled with the paper map in his hand. He found the “start” label that Mom had placed on the map then looked at the blue star on the map--the location of his classroom. He started walking forward, but immediately realized that the map didn’t match his location. There was supposed to be a library to the left and a cafeteria to the right, but instead, all he saw were rows and rows of doors.

He realized he didn’t know where to go, so he took his mother’s advice and found the nearest adult. The teacher greeted him warmly, but her words were unrecognizable to Eugin. He pointed to the map and the blue star then shrugged his shoulders. Eugin could see the paper shaking in his hands as he showed the teacher. “This is even worse than I thought it was going to be,” he thought to himself. The teacher took the map from his hands and pointed to the name at the top of the map. She continued to speak, but Eugin didn’t know what she was saying. She pointed to the name at the top again and shook her head “no.” The lump in Eugin’s throat got bigger as he suddenly realized what was happening. The teacher, still jabbering, put her arm around Eugin and led him toward the office. “Help” was the only word he could make out as they entered the small room. How could he have made such a big mistake on the first day of school?

Students should consider how the story would be different if it were told from the perspective of Eugin’s mom, the other children, or the teacher

trying to help him.

Answers will vary, but should include something about the teacher or another

staff member assisting Eugin in getting to the correct school.

Story Summary Purpose

The Way Home

The author writes an article encouraging children to ride city busses instead of walk home.

The author describes the route of a local city bus.

The author tells about a time he and his best friend made a snowman during a big storm.

The author writes an article about appropriate winter clothing.

YOURS THEIRS

Choose the answer that best explains why their bus ride took longer than normal.

A The kids got on the wrong bus.

B The children missed their bus stop.

C The weather slowed down the trip.

D They wanted to stay warm longer.

Author’s PurposeFirst write the author’s purpose for writing

this story. Then read the one sentence summaries of other stories similar to this

one and identify their purpose.

The cover was tattered and torn, and Dane knew the plot line by heart, but still, he sat by the door reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. He heard his sister, Janey, coming up behind him. He always knew when she was coming by the sound of her footsteps. After all, she was the only one in the school who insisted on wearing high heels to school every day of the year, no matter the weather. He slid the book into his backpack and greeted his sister. “Ready to go?” he said, standing up and wiping the dust bunnies off the back of his jeans.

As soon as Dane opened the door to head outside, the pair was hit by a strong gust of wind. They both took a deep breath and pulled their coats tighter around their bodies as they made their way toward the bus stop. The rest of the school grounds were already deserted. Most kids had been picked up earlier in the day when the weather had started to take a turn for the worse. Dan and Janey hadn’t held their breath as they saw kid after kid leave school. They knew Mom and Dad were both at work and wouldn’t be able to come pick them up early. Mom’s housekeeping job at a hotel never allowed her to leave early. Dad’s job as a maintenance technician at the hospital also meant he could never leave early. After all, hotels and hospitals don’t ever close. Now, Dane and Janey just focused on getting home safely.

Dane shuffled his feet along the walkway, trying to clear a path of dry ground so that Janey wouldn’t get too much snow in her shoes. Finally, they made it to the bus stop, which provided a tiny bit of shelter from the storm. The children didn’t sit. They simply couldn’t stand the thought of having wet, cold bottoms as they sat on bus for the next half an hour. After what seemed like an eternity, the bus arrived, the children scanned their city bus cards, and they found a pair of seats next to each other. They passed the time by chatting about their day at school and watching the storm out the window. Their half hour ride turned into an hour-long ride, but they didn’t mind. At least they were warm.

Eventually, the bus pulled up to their stop, and the pair bundled up again. They thanked the driver and scurried off the bus. Just two more blocks to go, and they’d be home. Again, Dane walked ahead of Janey. “Think you’ll consider wearing boots tomorrow?” he shouted over the whistle of the wind. Janey smiled even as snow pelted her face. “Never!”

They finally spotted their apartment complex door and hustled up the steps. As soon as they set foot inside the building, they breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were home!

The kids didn’t sit down when they got to the bus stop because there must have been snow or melted snow there and they couldn’t

stand the thought of having wet, cold bottoms.

Main Idea vs. Theme

It takes courage to be who you are.

Tera feels bad when someone makes fun of her tutu.

It’s unkind to make fun of someone.

“Tera floated down the stars, her tutu bouncing with every step she took.”

“Yes,” Tera mumbled as she moved the pancakes around on her plate.

“Tera’s shoulders drooped, and her heart sank.”

“As soon as she got home, Tera tore off her TuTu.”

“As soon as she walked into school that day, the kids noticed her outfit.”

“It was so strikingly different than what she normally danced in wearing.”

“When Tera proudly sat down next to Amy…” “Tera smiled and said boldly….”

__________ __________

Tera floated down the stairs, her tutu bouncing with every step she took. “Oh, TeraTu,” her mom called after her, “you are always just a little ray of sunshine in this house!” Tera smiled and grabbed her backpack. “It’s time for school!” Mom said as she herded her into the car.

Tera bounded into school, and Mrs. Smuthers noticed her new tutu right away. When she commented on how lovely it was, Tera felt like she was on top of the world. She was known by all as Tera, the Tutu girl, and she wore her tutus with pride each and every day. Today’s new tutu made her feel even more beautiful and bouncy than ever.

When Tera sat down at her seat, she noticed Amy look her way and sneer. “Another tutu?” she heard Amy mumble to Pete. “Maybe if we start calling her Tera the Poo Poo girl she’ll stop wearing those awful skirts every day.” Tera’s shoulders drooped, and her heart sank. Amy had always been so friendly to her. Why would she say something like that? Overhearing Amy’s comment completely ruined Tera’s day. She hid her tutu every chance she had. After all, she thought, if Amy felt this way about her tutus, everyone must feel this way.

As soon as she got home, Tera tore off her tutu. The next morning, Tera found a pair of jeans tucked deep in the back of her closet and paired it with a black shirt. As soon as she came down to the breakfast table, her mom looked her up and down. “TeraTu…is everything...okay?” she asked slowly.

“Yes,” Tera mumbled as she moved her pancakes around on her plate. As soon as she walked into school that day, the kids noticed her outfit--it

was so strikingly different than what she normally danced in wearing. Tera took her seat next to Amy, who looked her in the eyes and said, “What happened to your tutu?” Tera couldn’t answer. “Well, for what it’s worth, I think your new outfit looks totally rad!”

Tera knew this compliment should make her feel good, but it didn’t. All day long, everyone asked her where her tutus were. They told her they

missed them, and that they barely recognized her without them! It was the worst school day she’d ever had.

The next morning, when Tera got up, she knew she couldn’t have a repeat of yesterday. She repeated an Oscar Wilde quote inside her head. Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. She knew what she had to do.

As soon as she walked into school, she heard the familiar calls of “TeraTu!” and instantly felt better. Her teacher greeted her with a high five and called out, “Looking good, the one and only TeraTu!”

When her best friend spotted her, she pretended to wipe the sweat from her brow and sighed, “Phew! My best friend is back!”

When Tera proudly sat down next to Amy, the girl looked at Tera, curved her lips in a small smile, and said, “I didn’t realize how much I’d missed your tutu yesterday. You look pretty rad today, too.”

Tera smiled and said boldly, “I do look pretty rad today…. And every day!”

Answers will vary but

should be based on evidence from the

text.

It is difficult for Tera to go back to school with her tutu on knowing how Amy feels about her, but she

does it anyway.

addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator

This week for maths, we are learning how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. You will need to watch your teacher’s video on Google Classroom to get a better understanding of the concept.

Let’s revise: What do you know about fractions? It is the division of a group, number or whole, into equal parts.

When we add fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators however we do not change the denominator.

!" + #" = $"

To add or subtract fractions, we can use a number line or even diagrams. Let’s practice!

Choose the answer that best explainswhy their bus ride took longer than normal.

A Tommy gets cold, so he uses branches to keep himself warm.

B Tommy is an experienced hiker, so he finds his way out of the woods.

C Tommy gets lost in the woods, but he follows the water and finds a road.

The sounds of crickets chirping in the distance played as background music to the crunch of leaves under Tommy’s feet. He could see the sun beginning to set, and with every step, his heart raced a bit faster. “If I just keep walking in the direction of the flow of the water, I’ll find my way home…” he said to himself. Walk, he did, but the trail still wasn’t leading him anywhere.

His hike had started early that morning, and Tommy had planned to be home hours ago. As he saw the sun dip behind the mountains, he felt a shiver down his spine. He knew his chances of getting home before dark were gone, so his survival training kicked in. Tommy didn’t stray from the waters edge, but he found a towering tree and took up shelter underneath it. Slipping the tarp out of the bottom of his backpack, he thought back to the mistake that had led him to this unfamiliar place. He had only wanted to see where the offshoot of the main trail would lead. Regardless of how he had arrived at this point, he knew what he needed to do to survive the night.

The light was almost completely gone by the time Tommy had laid out the tarp, gathered some fallen branches, dug out his remaining energy bars, and put on his headlamp. As he lay in the darkness, covered only by those branches, he checked his phone one more time to see if he had service before shutting it off to conserve the batteries. The wind howled in the night, but he knew he needed rest for the long day ahead of him.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Tommy was awoken by raindrops splattering against his face. The sky was turning pink, so he knew morning was dawning. Not wasting any time, he gathered up his belongings and was off again. “Follow the water downhill, just follow the water downhill…” he repeated to himself. He had grown up hiking with his father, who had drilled this “trick” into his head at least a million times. Tommy walked for what seemed like hours before stopping dead in his tracks. He put his eyes to the ground and listened. Yes! He knew that sound… the sweet sound of car tires crunching on pavement. Picking up his pace, he continued to follow the water and the sound until he came to a thick patch of trees. He bushwhacked his way through the mess of pine until finally he came upon a mountain road. Although he didn’t know exactly where he was, he knew he’d be getting home soon!

This experience helps Tommy because he knows

exactly what to do when he gets lost and again when he realized he has to sleep in

the woods overnight.

Be prepared for the

unexpected.

Tommy gets lost in the woods and must rely on his

mountain knowledge to

survive.
