The Adventure Heats Up on Treasure Island

We reviewed the action that took place in chapters 20 and 21 and then read about Jim’s adventure cutting lose the Hispaniola. The excitement was tremendous! We left Jim asleep in Ben Gunn’s little corscle dreaming of home and the old “Admiral Benbow.” Will the sea be his death or will Jim continue the adventure on Treasure Island? What do you think?

The root word test was taken for the second time this week and everyone was reminded that DLW sentences and study guides through chapter 23 are due tomorrow.

Oh, I almost forgot, four of our crew Jolly Rogers have been completed and hung in the classroom. It’s beginning to look a lot like pirate around here.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
