  2. Dear all,

    Where did Willy eat when he did not get up in the morning?

    What was the dogs name that sat on the front porch in the begining of the story?

    How did you feel when little Willy's Grandfather was still in bed and not responding?

    How did you feel when it said Willy's Grandfather was going to die?

    What do you think is going to happen next?

    From,
    Sydney

    I was dicsussion director. Here are a few thick and thin questions I had. Do you think grandfather will get better? What do you think the person on the frount porch will do? Do you think that the doctor is right and grandfather wants to do? Why do you think Shearchlight ran at the strick of six? Do you think little Willy likes the oatmeal?

    Hi everyone,
    This week I was Word Wizard.The first word i found was "bushel", it was on page 21, I chose it because I thought it was strange and differant.The meaning is "a measurement of weight". My second word was "palomino" it was on page 7 and it was interesting. It is a type of horse. My third word was examine. It was important and in this case it means to check out a patient. My next word was "cure" it was on page 10 i picked it because you dont see it often. and it means to heal a sickness. The next word was "irrigation" it was differant. It means to water crops. My last word was "harmonica" I chose it because it was interesting. And it is a small instrument that you blow into. My question was "Will grandfather ever get better?"

    Dear Justin,
    These are some connetions that I had. {Text-to-self}This story reminds me when my dog was sick. I tried to do things to help him want to live.{Text-to-Text}The story reminds me of the movie Willy Wonka because the boy helped his grandfather get better by taking him to the factory.{Text-to-world} Speed skater Dan Jansen skated in the Olympics for his sister who was dying to make her happy. The question I had was why is the grandfather dying?

    Dear All,

    The first location is page 29 paragraph 2 It was funny to me because searchlight and willy tumdled over and it made me laugh.

    The Next Location is page 24 paragraph 4 It was important because he liked the snow and he practice racing.

    The last location is page 23 paragraph 4 To me it was confusing because she said a lot of things and I lost track of how many things she was saying.

    Mudit,

  55. Dear Justin,
    I do think that Grandfather will
    get better because Little Willy
    sprinted into the woods and told
    Doc Smith that Grandfather hadn't
    played his harmonica the other night
    or any other music. Little Willy also told
    Doc Smith that Grandfather hadn't
    woken him up that morning. Right after
    Little Willy took Doc home to show her.

    Hi,I am Connector and my first connection is that when in the book,it said that Searchlight like the snow,I do too!

    My second connection is that when the Dr.Smith didn't know what was wrong with the grandfather, in a book called "The Stranger", the doctor did not know what was wrong with the stranger

    My last connection is that when the grandpa was using that code with his hand, it reminds me of Americian Sign Language.

    I think Little Willy is very kind because he is going to take use all college money for his grandfather. I think Stone Fox is very inteligent. He is using the money he wins in the race to buy back his tribe's land. I think Clifford Snyder is afraid because he does not want the dog to come in the house. I also think the grandfather is lazy because he just stares at the ceiling
