Tell It in Order

Today: Retell three events using beginning, middle, and end.

Begin

Learn

A retelling keeps the important events in the order they happened. It does not need every tiny detail.

Hold up one finger for the beginning, two for the middle, and three for the end. Say one important event for each.

Study the model

Beginning: seed planted. Middle: sprout grew. End: flower opened.

Read

Lina tucked a bean into damp soil. Each day she checked the pot. One morning, a green hook pushed through the dirt.
