DAY 1

This week we will talk, sing, read and write about animals as they grow and

change.

Animals don’t just change in looks as they grow. They also change in what they eat and the things they can do.

maturefeaturesnatural

•The song says that the puppy gets bigger as he matures. When people or animals mature, they grow older and become adults.

•Features are parts or details that stand out. We talk about people’s or animals’ features to tell what they look like.

•Something natural grows on its own in nature and is not made by people. The wild flowers were a natural beauty.

One change that happens to children as they mature is ________________.

One feature of a turtle is ____________.

It’s natural for a cat to _________________.

What kind of flower do you see in the picture? The word roses is made from a base word and an ending. The base word is rose. The ending is /ez/. What kind of seats do you see in the picture? Benches is also made from a base word and ending. The base

word is bench. What ending do you hear?

Phonics

digs hats

• What do you know about reading these words?

• Hat is a noun. In a noun, an –s ending means “more than one.” Digs is a verb. In a verb, an –s ending means that someone is doing something now.

For some base words, we use the ending –es instead of –s.

peachesThis word is made up of the base word peach and the ending –es.

peach es peaches

rosesbenchesfencesbusheshorses

crunches

fixes Fixes is made from the base word fix and the ending –es. When I come to a word that ends with –es, I look to see if

it has a base word and an ending. I read the base word and the ending: fix, -es. Then I read the two parts together

as one word: fixes.

fix es fixes

taxes waxes messes dresses kisses fishes flushes pinches

What do you know about reading these words?

If the base word is a noun, -es means more than one. If the base word is a verb, -es means that someone is

doing something now.

aloud with your partner.

do not add -s. A verb in the present tense means the action is happening now. Verbs can also be

in the past tense or future tense.

Good readers read for a purpose.

Setting a purpose helps us to think and

the problem.
