The story that we are going to be reading this week is about a boy who is afraid but proves that he can act brave even when he feels afraid.

10. Background Information about Native Americans Some Native Americans in the United States live on reservations (land set aside for the people of their nation). The story we are going to be reading is a realistic story that includes some cultural information about Native Americans and their lives today�not long ago.

11. Background Information about Spelling Bees Spelling bees are contests that allow good spellers to compete against eachother. What are the rules? Each speller is given a word to spell. The word is usually pronounced, used in a sentence, and then pronounced again (like our spelling tests). The speller then says the word, spells the word, and then says the word again. If the word is spelled correctly, the speller stays standing. If the word is misspelled, the speller sits down. As the bee continues, the words get harder. The last one standing is the winner.
