U3W2 Shadows in the Sky

Shadows in the Sky

Chapter 1 Class Trip " This way. ” Mr. Washington waved to his second-grade class. The students were lining up to go inside the planetarium. Malik waited for Jamal. As usual, Jamal was the last one off the bus. Malik was Jamal's neighbor. They were also best friends. But Malik did not enjoy waiting for Jamal. He liked being first.

“ Why does everything always take you so long?" Malik grumbled. “ Unlike you, I wait my turn, " Jamal said. Mr. Washington was waiting inside when the boys finally caught up. " We have an hour before the sky show begins, " he told the class.

Mr. Washington continued speaking. “ Until then, you can look at the exhibits in pairs. Have fun, " he added, “ but not too much fun. " He looked directly at Jamal and Malik. “ Why is he looking at us?” Malik asked Jamal nervously.

“ Because on our class trip to the zoo an elephant almost ate your hat, " Jamal reminded him. “ That zookeeper was pretty angry. " " Oh, that! It was an accident! ” Malik insisted. “ Boys, ” Mr. Washington interrupted them. " Settle down. We're here to learn about what happens during an eclipse. Do you know anything about that already?"
