A Series of Unfortunate Events

We are almost halfway through reading A Series of Unfortunate Events. Although the book has lots of horrible things happen, the most horrible thing I've read so far is:

* That the children's parents both died and now they are orphans. - CJ

* That Klaus was taken to the doctor and something terrible happened to him there. - Shanel

* The children's guardian won't even tell them his name and makes them work in a lumber mill every day. - Equasha

* Their brother had an awful experience and won't respond to his sisters anymore. - Tyreesha

* They have to eat bubblegum for two meals every day! - Juwan

A Series of Unfortunate Events

We are currently reading the novel, A Series of Unfortunate Events. So far we've learned a great deal of new things and had a lot fun reading this story. Here are some new words we've learned:

Equasha - I learned that assiduous means hardworking.

CJ - I learned that diligent means hardworking.

Juwan - I learned that a veteran is a person who has lots of experience doing something. They are different from someone just starting out, they know lots because they have done it for a long time.

Tyreesha - I learned that a lumber mill is a place where people work with lumber or wood.

Shanel - I learned that various means lots of different things or features.
