Unfortunately we had quite a few students home sick last week so we had a very small class to start reading the book. As there were so few students, all got to use a beanbag chair and read and write in comfort. We found out that there are two stories being told. One story take place in the present and the other happens in the 1600s. We filled out the story chart for the Griffin. We continued reading later in the week and found out about three main characters - so far.
