* In Reading, we are reading the story “Penguin Chick”.  This story is an example of Expository Non-Fiction. We will have a vocab quiz on Tuesday and Selection Test on Wed.  You can listen to the story at link:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30012488/READING%20STORIES/UNIT%202%20STORIES/03%20Penguin%20Chick%20%28Expository%20Nonfiction%29.mp3
