Flashba
From Bella’s Big Fear (L1-3)

Bella was afraid of horses.

Camper Sunny helped Bella.
They faced her fear slowly.
Bella joined her cabin for the overnight camping trip.
Now, Bella likes horses. Thanks, Camper Sunny!
Jack the Pa
ddle Ace
 Saturday cabin contests are fun.
I think Jack is going to win the kayak race.
He’ll win points for Otter Cabin.

He’s really fast.

I didn’t know Jack was so strong.

You won’t beat me, Jack.

I’ll get you!
Oh, I’ll catch you.
You have to catch me first, I’m going to win this race.
Chris.

06 Jack the Paddle Ace

 Don’t let him win, Jack. How is he so fast?
Push yourself harder! You can do it! I’m much stronger
than he is.

Jack’s going to cross the finish line.

He’s going to win the race!
That was a close call.
Chris almost took the lead.

You got lucky this time, Jack.

I’ll win the next race.

cross finish line points push race 07

 Thank you so much, Camper Lewis.
You’re a great paddling teacher.

You did great out there, Jack.

You’re good at paddling.

That was an awesome race.

You won Otter Cabin ten points!
You’re a paddle ace, Jack!

Look at these great prizes.

We can win a pizza party. We’re already half way there.

08 Jack the Paddle Ace

 What’s everyone laughing at?

It’s Dennis. He’s not

very good at paddling.

I think the water carried him to the finish line.

He’s just paddling in circles.

Yeah, Dennis should be in

a different contest.
Paddling is too hard for him.

He’s not a paddle ace like me.

but now I’m really tired. Good job on the contests.

We have 25 points,
and we can get 25 apples! No, we want a pizza party!

And maybe we can get apples

with the extra points.

Yeah, a pizza party,

Camper Aaron!

That’s for sure.

You really like paddling.

Yeah, paddling is really fun.
Maybe I should try it too.

The following Monday . . .

I’m glad you’re taking paddling, Rob.

This week, we’re using canoes. What’s the difference between

It’ll be fun. a canoe and a kayak?

Maybe we can be partners.

Canoes are for two people.
One person is in the front, and the other
person is in the back.
Kayaks are only for one person.

I’d like that.

12 Jack the Paddle Ace

 Hello, everyone.
Welcome to week two of paddling. Canoes need two people.
This week, we’ll use the canoes. We’ll work in pairs this week.
Listen carefully,
and I’ll give you a partner.

Larry is with Bert.

Martin is with Chris.
Dan is with Ken. Rob, you’re with Jesse.
Randy is with Joe.

And Jack, you’re with Dennis.

Oh no.

 Everyone, put on your life jackets
and get your canoes.
Practice together as a team.

Have fun paddling today, Jack.

You have a really good partner.

We’ll be just fine, Chris. I think I’ll have the pizza party
next week. I can’t wait.

What am I going to do?

This is going to be a terrible week.
14 Jack the Paddle Ace
 Come on, Jack!
This is going to be fun. Do you want to be
in the front or in the back?
Well, the back does the steering.
I’ll go in the back.

OK. Let’s push off,

captain! All right. Hold on.
Let’s get started.

Please be careful, Dennis.

Paddle slowly and don’t splash the
water.

 Dennis, what are you doing now?
Don’t hold the paddle in the water. I’m paddling slowly,

Yes, but now you’re

paddling too slowly. Will you make up your mind?

That’s fine with me.

I don’t want to paddle
Let’s go back to shore. with you anymore.
This isn’t working.

16 Jack the Paddle Ace

 Jack, why did Dennis leave
like that?

Dennis is really bad at paddling.

Why did you put us together?
He’s terrible, and I’m going to
lose next week’s race.
Dennis will slow me down.

Jack, this is not about winning races.

It’s about working together.

I thought you could help Dennis.

He needs a good partner.

 Jack, what happened with Dennis?
Did you get in trouble?

Camper Lewis thinks

No, I didn’t get in trouble. I should teach Dennis.
That’s why he put us together.

It’s going to be impossible!

Dennis needs a lot of help. I don’t want to teach him.
It’s going to be hard. It’s not my job.

18 Jack the Paddle Ace

 I am!

I thought you were good at

paddling.

Then, why can’t you teach Dennis?

Is it too hard for you? No, it’s not that.
I just want to be a better
paddler.

Don’t you think Dennis wants to be

a better paddler too?

Sometimes we learn more when we help

someone else learn, Jack.

The next morning . . .
Dennis, I’m sorry about yesterday.
I was angry with you, and that was wrong.

I just want to have fun, Jack. I want to have fun too.

Summer camp should be fun. Paddling is really fun.
Can I help you learn?

You’re not going to yell at me, are you?

I promise I won’t yell at you.

20 Jack the Paddle Ace

 First, let’s learn how to hold the paddle.
Put one hand at the top like this.

Now, put your other hand down here.

There you go.

Why do I have to hold

the paddle like that?

Your top hand keeps the paddle

steady. You pull the paddle through
the water with your other hand.

Like this?

Go to page 31
for Activity 4.
pull steady yell yesterday
 Later that week . . . You’re doing a great job, Dennis.
You learned a lot in the past week.

This is so much more fun now.

I like paddling with you. Dennis, the boat is turning.
Paddle on the other side.
That’ll help us.

Like this?
That’s right.
You’re doing it perfectly.

You’re a good teacher, Jack.

Thank you.
22 Jack the Paddle Ace
 Tomorrow is the next cabin contests.
I’m a little worried. I’m still not very good,
and I don’t think we can win. It doesn’t matter.
We had fun this week.

Thanks for all your help, Jack.

Jack, I’m really proud of you.

I was worried at first,
but you helped Dennis a lot. It wasn’t easy, but now
I feel really good.

a little a lot past week this week side 23

 The race day! We must beat Jack today.
If we don’t, you’re in trouble.

I don’t care. I’m just glad

this week will be over.

Are you having a little team meeting

before the race, Chris?

You’re going to
lose today, Jack.
I’m glad you’re my partner
and not Chris.
Well, let’s just do our best.

24 Jack the Paddle Ace

 You need to paddle to the far
side of the lake.

Once there, turn around and paddle back

to this side of the lake.
The first team back will be the winner
of the canoe race.

At the count of three, One . . .

you may begin. Two . . .

Let’s go! Move it!

See you later, Jack!

 You’re doing well, Dennis.
Keep it up! I’m sorry, Jack.
I’m not paddling well enough.
I think we’re going to lose.

Remember last week?

Don’t worry about that. You were very far behind.
You’re doing fine.

We’re keeping up with everyone today.

I think that’s a great change for one week.

26 Jack the Paddle Ace

 You are a good partner,
Dennis. Good job! We didn’t do a good job.
We lost the race.

We only lost a race.

We both won something
much more important.

I don’t understand.
What did we win?
I learned to be a better friend
and not to get angry.

You learned to be
a better paddler.
