Do You Need Help? Excerpt:
Stars twinkled against the crisp blue background of the night sky. The moon was full and bright. Its light sparkled off the rippling waters of the stream. Riley and Rebel watched as the moon’s reflection danced on the surface of the water. They laughed as they noticed their faces wiggling in the rippling surface. Then the raccoons saw another face.
“Hi!”
Rebel and Riley jumped and turned to see the newcomer.
“I’m Rob!” The new raccoon said smiling widely at them.
“Oh Hi, I’m Riley and this is Rebel.” Riley said.
“What brings you to the stream?” Rob asked.
Rebel replied, “We were thinking about getting a snack, and so we figured we should wash up first.”
“That’s a good idea!” Rob said. “Can I join you?”
“Sure,” Rebel said. And the three raccoons bent over the rushing water to wash their paws. One, two, Rebel dipped his front paws into the stream. Three, four, Riley began to wash his paws. Five, Rob dipped his front paw in the stream and allowed the water to flow over it. Rebel and Riley looked at each other and then at Rob. Lots of emotions tumbled through their minds as they realized that Rob only had three paws. The two raccoons felt surprised, sad, and a little nervous at first. “Would you like us to bring you a snack? Rebel asked.

Ian’s schedule is missing. His friend Mike and his teacher help him out. What trick will Ian learn today?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Guessing Game” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!

Guessing Game Excerpt:
Ian settled down at his desk and noticed that his schedule was missing. He began to feel nervous. Ian liked to know what was going to happen so he could feel ready for his day. Today he had no idea. His friend Mike looked over and noticed that Ian seemed upset.
“What’s wrong Ian?” Mike asked.
“I don’t have my schedule.” Ian replied.
“Oh, did you ask Mr. Smith?” Mike suggested.
“No. If it’s not on my desk then Mr. Smith doesn’t have it. He always puts my schedule out.” Ian said, starting to feel a little panicky. “I need to take a deep dragon breath (deep breath).” Ian felt a little better, though he still worried about what was happening today.
Mike asked, “Do you want to know what I do when I’m unsure about what is going on?”
Ian looked at Mike and said, “I thought you always knew what was happening.”
“Oh no.” Mike said with a smile. “I guess. I look and listen to find clues, then I guess. Sometimes I’m right, sometimes, I’m wrong. Do you want to try?”
“Ok,” Ian said hesitantly. “ How do you find the clues?”
“I look and listen for changes. Like Mr. Smith standing up at the board, he was at his desk. Since he has changed spots, he may be giving us a clue.” Ian eagerly waited for the clue his teacher was about to give. Mr. Smith got out his magnets. Ian made his first guess.
“I’m guessing that Mr. Smith is about to give us directions.” He said to Mike.
