  1. The Long Winter By Laura Ingalls Wilder Created by: Krista Roth, Bonnie Grimes Elem.

  2. eagerly- happily, enthusiastically

  3. Another example: I eagerly eat my ice cream. • Word in context: “Carrie eagerly offered to help. “I’ll carry the drinking water out to you. I’m big enough to carry the jug!” Carrie was almost ten, but small for her age.”

  4. marshy- ground that is muddy or flooded

  5. Another example: I am afraid that there are snakes living in the marshy area by the river. • Word in context: “He pushed his way through the harsh, tall grass and Laura followed close behind him. The ground underfoot was soft and marshy and water lay in pools among the grass.”

  6. sober- very serious

  7. Another example: When our teacher got angry with us, our class became quiet and sober. • Word in context: “His eyes twinkled and Laura laughed, because the sun was shining with all its might. But the rest of the afternoon they were rather sober.”

  8. Name three things that you do eagerly.

  9. If I say a word that goes with marshy, say “marshy”. • Wet • Soggy • Muddy • Desert • Dry • Flooded

  10. Which picture shows someone who looks sober?

  11. Tie Them Together As I was walking in the marshy area behind my school I became very sober when my boots started filling with water and I eagerly ran to dry ground.
