Twiggy the Amazing Skiing Squirrel

This week in Mrs. Nelson's class we learned about cause and effect.    First, we previewed the text.  When we did this we thought it was fiction because we saw a picture with a skiing squirrel.  As we read, we stopped to think and write a little.   We were amazed that this was really nonfiction. The story was about a squirrel named Twiggy that can ski.   Chuck and Lou Ann Best rescued a squirrel from a storm.  They taught the squirrel how to water ski.  After we answered questions, Mrs. Nelson showed us a video that had Twiggy skiing.  The video was hilarous.  You should go watch it at www.skiingsquirrel.com.

Mrs. Braymer also showed us the video yesterday after we read the story. We thought it was very entertaining. We wish there was a boat show near us, so we could all go see Twiggy ski.
