Thruout history, people have built roads and bridges to help them get from

one place to another. Unfortunately, the straitest path between two places

was often blocked by rivers and mountains. Engineers worked long hours to

develop a strategie to overcome such obstacles. Not only did they have to

design tunnels and bridges, but they also had to work out a schedual to get

them built on time. The strane on the workers who built the railroads was

also great. Often laborers who blasted tunnels in the side of mountains had

to scrambel for safety to avoid being blown up themselves!

that his guiding spirit, the eagle, would help him. As the sun rose in the sky,

Chano looked up. An eagle with red-tipped wings looked at him from the

Dear Sister,

As I write this to you, I am filled with excitment. Mother took me to see the

turtles hatch. It was night, and the beach was very peacefull. Then a

remarkible thing happened. The countliss turtle babies hatched! Hundreds of

tiny, defenceless turtles crawled awkwardly across the sand. Once they

started to swim in the ocean, they were very grayceful. I made friends with

one turtle. I hope to see her again next year.

See you soon,

Kiyomi
