* In Reading, we will begin our new story, “ Boomtown” on Monday.  This story is about the discovery of gold in California and how it brought new settlers with dreams of striking it rich. Some prospectors brought their families and everything they owned. The new settlers needed food, clothes, banks, and schools. In one short year, a town would rise where there had been only a field of wildflowers. We will focus on Realism and Fantasy. Realistic stories tell about something that could happen. A fantasy is a story about something that could never happen. You can listen to our story at the following link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30012488/READING%20STORIES/1-03%20Boom%20Town.m4a  We will have a test next Tuesday.
