​Today, you will read chapter 6 of Disaster Strikes.







What happened at the entrance of the cave?

How did Noah, Emma, and Alex escape?

​On page 53, a subdued light streamed over the large rock.

​Have you ever felt nervous or panicky?



How do you squelch that feeling?

​Noah and Emma had made it out of the cave. Alex was the last one to try and get out. He had no one to help push him out. The opening was too small for him to fit. Alex was panicking. Noah saw the grimace on his friend's face. A grimace is an expression on someone's face that shows fear, hurt, or worry.
