The film October Sky (1999) is adapted from "Big Creek Missile Agency" and Rocket Boys: A Memoir, by Homer Hickam Jr. They tell the heart-touching story of growing up in a rural West Virginia mining town in the late 1950’s, and boyhood friends’ pursuit of amateur rocketry. History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite.

Bink and Gollie by Kate DiCamillo/CCSS Aligned Novel Study
Bink and Gollie, by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, have to be the most appealing characters in children's literature. While total opposites, they can teach our children so much about friendship. In the first book, Bink and Gollie, children read three short stories: Don't You Need a New Pair of Socks, P.S. I'll Be Back Soon, and Give a Fish a Home. With this novel study, your students will learn to answer concrete and inferential questions, summarize short stories, and write better paragraphs.

Who Was King Tut? by Roberta Edwards CCSS Reading Comprehension Questions/Vocab
As I studied ancient Egypt with my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, I must admit, it was very difficult to come up with material to supplement this unit. The things I found were either too mature or too dry. This book is a fantastic resource for a unit on King Tut or ancient Egypt, so I just had to make a study guide. Included in this study guide are:* Vocabulary for each chapter without the definitions (to allow students to define the words)* Questions for each chapter (both literal and inferential)*
