This was our last week experiencing life in the wilderness like Sam Gribley.
We started out our day by designing a travel poster, enticing tourists to come visit Sam's tree and meet his animal friends. We have some very clever artists among us!
Then our discussion turned to the book's THEME. We read a few passages from the book that gave us clues. We all agreed that the theme of this story is that civilized life is dangerous and boring while life in the wilderness is safe and enjoyable.
Although my tease of possum stew was received with mixed feelings- we actually had something much sweeter to taste...acorn pancakes! We were brave enough to try pancakes made with mock-acorn meal and coconut flour, topped with black currant jam. We also were pleased with the way sassafrass tea tastes! Wilderness food is surprisingly tasty!
Next week- come prepared to talk about the Adventures of Tom Sawyer!
