Off to Hunt and Marven of the Great North Woods

K. and J. Construction want to share the following:  (1) There is a lot of farming, hunting, and lumber in the Midwest; (2) The Mississippi River is great for fishing, shipping, boating, kayaking, and there are lots of bridges and railroads that go over it; (3) The Mississippi River is near Cabela's Hunting Store; (4) The Midwest has many famous parks; (5) There are several good restaurants, stores, including the Farm and Home Store in the Midwest; (6) Marven is a little dude, whose family has influenza, so they send him out into the forest to work with the lumber jacks; (7) Marven's two jobs are to wake up the lumber jacks and to pay them; (8) "Off to Hunt" is a story about a boy named Hunter and a boy named Swift Eagle and a boy named Crying Owl

R, D, and D share the following about what we have been learning:
A boy named Marven got sent to a lumberjack camp because his sisters go because they were girls.  Marven went by himself.  His job was to wake up the lumberjacks on the fourth bell.  He paid the lumberjacks with their signature or sign.  He met Jean Louis and they became good friends.  He went back home afraid that his family wasn't going to be at the train stop waiting for him because the influenza may have killed them.  Then he got off the train and they were all there waiting for him and they all greeted them with hugs and kisses.  His sister kissed his ear.  Grody!

Our question is:  If you have to wake a sleeping lumberjack who is tough as a rock and mean as a grizzly bear would you poke him or knock him out of bed?  We answer, say, "Leve toi!"  Which means wake up in French.

Today we learned about this kid named Crying Owl and his brother named Brave Brother.  He was telling a story about this kid named Hunter and he was afraid of riding a horse and catching a Bison.  It turned out that Hunter was Brave Brother.
