Shadow of a Bull



Our story in Reading this week is an excerpt from 1965's Newbery Award winning book Shadow of a Bull.  Manolo Olivar is the son of Spain's greatest matador, who was killed by a bull.  Everyone expects Manolo to follow his father's footsteps and became a bull fighter.  But he has a terrible secret.  Bull fighting scares him!

This week's Greek or Latin root is 'mit' or 'miss' meaning send in such words as emit, missile, and mission.

In math, fourth graders are learning about negative numbers.
