Good Morning scholars,

Where in the world am I?

These falls are 268 feet tall and the name is the English pronunciation of “sah-KOH-koh” or “Sdob-dwahibbluh,” a Salish word meaning moon. As a spiritual place, it gave birth to many legends. The Native Americans who roamed the valley were known as people of the moon.  These falls are also located at these latitude and longitude coordinates: 47.5417° N, 121.8377° W.

ELA Expectations for today:

Reading — today we will be comparing Maniac and Grayson.  As we recognize the similarities and differences between the two, we will be thinking about whether they are more alike or more different.
