What's going on? What do you say we read a news article? It was kind of big news last week. As we read this, I'm going to have pictures for you and some definitions for the words. I'm just a little worried that they are out of order. So it might not be as organized as usual. And for that I apologize, but we will be able to read this article. So let's start at the top here and we'll read the title and it says a toddler lost in the woods is found asleep using family dog as a pillow. So when I first saw this article, I thought, oh, that's so cute. And I saw this little picture here. I thought, oh, this could be a toddler. We'll talk about what toddler is in a minute, but I can imagine her going out just for a little walk like toddler.

So Peninsula that means land that is surrounded by water but basically three sides. So if you look at that picture, you know, there's water like in the front of it to the left of it to the right of it, but not behind it. So if you look down, it's a noun. A peninsula is a thing piece of land almost surrounded by water or projecting out into a body of water. So if something is projecting out, it means like pushed forward and I do have another they talked about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I wanted to show you what the state of Michigan looks like it's separated into two parts.
