Teacher Notes: Morning Work for 3rd Grade 1. What’s included in the entire year unit? This packet comes with morning work for Monday – Thursday for the entire year. As a teacher, I always liked to mix things up a bit for Fridays, so that’s why the packet is structured that way. There are a total of 144 pages plus keys for each.

Mondays and Wednesdays: These two days have reading, social studies, and math.

Tuesdays and Thursdays: These two days have language, science, and math.

2. The Table of Contents (Concepts Chart) There is a Concepts Chart for each quarter and it lists exactly which main concepts are included each day, for each subject. The Common Core standards are listed for reading, language, and math. There are no standards listed for social studies, since they vary so much by state. For science, The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are listed for each science concept. While it is impossible to cover every science standard sufficiently on a worksheet, the science concepts listed, support the NGSS concepts. Please note that the student worksheets have no standard notations and that they work equally well in classrooms which do not fall under Common Core.

My recommendation for using the Concepts Chart is to look specifically at the math included. The math is paced according to the order of the standards but since textbooks do not always follow this order (and they vary so much), I would make sure the math topic has been covered in class, and if not, I would search through the math topics to pull the worksheets that go with whatever you are teaching in math. If students are able to do the math independently, hopefully they’ll be able to work on the rest of the worksheet on their own as well.

3. Math

As you can see, math is included each day. The entire first month is a review of 2nd grade standards, since these serve as a foundation for 3rd grade concepts. Also, to me, morning work should be mainly a practice time for reviewing concepts and not a big teaching time. I want things the kids are able to do independently, and that is the reasoning behind the first month being a review.

4. Reading Reading in this packet is on Mondays and Wednesdays and is broken into quarters:

1st Quarter: Fiction – All standards included

2nd Quarter: Informational Text - All standards included

3rd Quarter: Fiction – All standards reviewed

4th Quarter: Informational Text - All standards reviewed

5. Language Language practice is on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is spiraled throughout the year.

6. Social Studies Social studies is on Mondays and Wednesdays and includes a number of formats such as flags with information about countries, maps for geography work, and timelines with famous people.

7. Science Science is on Tuesdays and Thursdays and all of the topics relate to NGSS standards. Besides short passages with comprehension questions, students are asked to create diagrams, draw pictures, and make charts.

This packet was a huge labor of love for me and is something I have wanted for my classroom for a long time. No more searching everywhere for a comprehensive morning work packet. It’s here… Hope it works really well in your classroom too!

Thanks!

Morning Work in Google Slides Specifics:

1. Students will answer most questions by typing in the text boxes where it says text here or simply text.

2. If students are asked to circle specific questions, pre-made circles are often placed next to the questions, so students can easily drag and drop them to the correct answer.

3. Sometimes a “stack” of objects is included. Students may drag different items like punctuation marks, fraction number line bars, ovals, or boxes from a centralized stack.

4. Occasionally students will need to use the line feature to divide a shape into fractional pieces.

5. They font is small to include a lot of information on each slide. Make sure to tell your students to enlarge the text (for example zoom 150% - 200%) so they are better able to see it clearly.

Reading: How the Bear Lost Its Tail: Ojibwe Legend Long ago, in the cold of winter, Bear was walking along the frozen lake. As he was

walking, Bear saw Otter near a hole in the ice. Beside Otter was a big pile of fish. Bear asked Otter how he was able to catch so many fish. At that time, Bear had a long bushy tail and he was very proud of it. He even bragged about his tail to the other animals. So, instead of telling Bear, Otter, who was very mischievous, decided to play a trick on Bear. Otter told Bear that he caught the fish by putting his tail in the ice hole. Otter explained how he wiggled it around until a fish bit it. Then he quickly pulled the fish out of the water. Bear was eager to try and asked Otter if he could borrow his fishing hole. Otter told Bear that he had plenty of fish and that he was welcome to it. At that, Otter scooped up his pile of fish and walked away.

Bear sat by the ice hole and lowered his tail into the freezing water. Then he waited. Every now and then Bear wiggled his tail, hoping a fish might notice. He waited and waited but not even one fish nibbled on his tail. Finally, the sun was starting to set, and Bear decided to go home. As he started to stand up though, he couldn’t because his tail had frozen into the ice! Bear was stuck there. He pulled and pulled at his tail but it didn’t budge. Finally, Bear pulled with all of his might and only a stub of his tail was left! Bear walked away sad and hungry. Ever since that day, bears have short tails.1. Why did Otter want to play a trick on Bear? Which sentence told you that? ________________________

Reading: King Midas and the Golden Touch: Greek Myth Long ago there lived a king named Midas who was very rich. King Midas was so rich that he had

more gold than anyone else in the whole world. The King also had a daughter named Marigold, who was kind and good. Although the King loved Marigold, all he could think of was how to get more gold.

As the King was counting his money, a fairy appeared. The fairy told the King that she would grant him one wish.Very quickly, the King replied that he wished that anything he touched would turn to gold. The fairy told the King that his wish would be granted at sunrise tomorrow. She warned him however, that his gift would not bring him happiness. The King ignored the warning, thinking this was the best wish anyone could imagine.

When King Midas woke up the next day, he was eager to see if his wish had come true. He touched the bed and it turned to gold. He touched the nightstand and it turned to gold too. Then he ran around the room touching everything he could see, and they each turned to gold as the fairy had promised.

The King went downstairs to eat breakfast but as he lifted his glass of water, it turned to gold and he couldn’t drink it. He picked up some bread and it turned to gold and he couldn’t eat it. Then Marigold ran into the kitchen to hug her father and at once, she turned into gold. The King cried out for the fairy and begged her to take away his wish. As the King told the fairy that he had learned his lesson, she took pity on him and told him to take a pitcher to the pond and to fill it with water. When he sprinkled the water on anything he had turned to gold, it would change back. The King did what the fairy said and with a thankful heart, he sat down to breakfast with his daughter.1. What is the theme of this myth? A. Greed brings bad things B. Gold makes you happy C. Be yourself D. Everyone is important

2. Name at least one key detail from the myth which supports this theme. ___________________________

Science: Inherited Traits, Instincts, and Learned Behaviors

When an animal has a baby, it passes down physical traits like body shape, size, and scales, feathers, or fur. It also passes down instincts, like a bird building a nest, a bear hibernating, or squirrels preparing for winter.

Besides traits that are inherited, animals also learn behaviors from other animals or from their own experiences in their environment. For example, chimpanzees can catch termites by putting a stick into a termite mound. When the termites crawl all over the stick, the chimpanzee is able to eat the termites. Knowing how to make a termite catching tool is not an inherited trait or a chimpanzee instinct. The chimp either learned to make this tool from watching another chimpanzee or it created the idea itself. This is a learned behavior. 1. Which one is not inherited?A. Instinct B. Learned behavior C. Trait

2. Learned behaviors are actions that an animal learns from ________________________ animals or from their own _______________________________________________.

Language: CapitalsNouns (a person, place, thing, or idea) can be common or proper. Proper nouns need capitals. Look at the word on the left and write a proper noun that fits that category. Make sure to use capitals.

1. state: ______________________________ 2. principal’s name:_____________________

3. continent: __________________________ 4. famous person: ______________________

5. grocery store: _______________________ 6. neighbor’s name: ____________________

7. city: _______________________________ 8. a president: _________________________

Look at the words in each box. If it is a common noun, write C in the box to the left of the word. If it’s a proper

noun and needs to be capitalized, write P. columbus, ohio harriet tubman starfish ferret nebraska rabbit tiger denver, colorado alice in wonderland mayor pyramid manager arizona president kennedy mother teresa amazon river statue of liberty chef

Reading: KoalasIn the wild, koalas are found only in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. Even though lots of people

call them koala bears, koalas are not related to bears at all. They are actually marsupials, which means the mothers have a pouch where the newborn babies grow. Koalas are related to other marsupials like kangaroos and wombats.

Koalas sleep from 16 - 20 hours a day. When they are awake, it is night time, so they are nocturnal. When Koalas are awake, their main activity is eating. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees, where they eat the bark and leaves. They can go without water for a long time because they get water from the leaves that they eat. Koalas also like to eat mistletoe and box leaves. Koalas weigh about 30 pounds and are usually about two feet tall. They have thumbs which can grab, like people do (opposable thumbs). This helps them hold on to tree branches. They have tough skin on their feet to keep them from slipping and falling. They also have soft fur that feels like wool. They are mostly gray, with white fur on their underside and on the tips of their ears.

Koala mothers usually have one baby, called a joey, each year. When the baby is born, it is the size of a peanut and is bald and blind. It climbs into the mother’s pouch where it can feed on milk and grow. When the joey is six months old, it sometimes leaves the pouch to explore but still stays close to its mother. When the joey is one years old, it can live on its own. 1. Which animal is closely related to a koala? A. Bear B. Kangaroo C. Monkey 2. What does nocturnal mean? A. Sleeps during the day B. Sleeps at night C. Sleeps off and on all the time

3. On which continent are koalas located? ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________4. Where do koalas get much of their water?

Language: Possessive Nouns and Plural NounsWhen someone owns something, you usually make the noun a possessive by adding anapostrophe and then an s (the cat’s toy). Most plural nouns are made by simply adding an s (lots of cats).Directions: Add an s or apostrophe s to change the underlined noun to a possessivenoun or a plural noun.1. My dad ______ car could seat eight, so he drove us to the carnival.2. All of our dad_____ like to go on the rides with us.3. The corn dog_____ stick had a riddle!4.

Science: MotionWe know that a force can cause an object to stop, start, or to continue moving. When an object moves, it is called motion. There are lots of different ways an object can move:

Objects in motion can move at different speeds. They can be as fast as a rocket or as slow as a snail. They can also be somewhere between a rocket and a snail.

Objects in motion can also move in different ways.•Zig Zag or Straight•Up and Down•Back and Forth•Round and RoundNext to each object, write the type of motion it uses.1. ____ Swings2. ____ Tornado3. ____ Lightning4. ____ Trampoline5. ____ Carousel6. ____ Train7. ____ Grandfather Clock’s Pendulum

8. ____ Tires on a Car

Zig Zag = ZStraight = SUp and down = UBack and Forth = BRound and Round = R

______________________________________________________________

Science: Magnets as a ForceForce can cause things that we touch to move.

When we push bicycle pedals with our feet or shoot a basketball with our hands, the objects move. Force can also occur though, when things do not touch each other. Static electricity is one example of that and magnetism is another.

If you’ve ever played with a magnet, you know that magnets attract some kinds of metals. Their pulling force is called magnetism. If you put a magnet on a paper clip, the paper clip sticks to the magnet. If you put a magnet near a paperclip, without touching it, the paperclip will jump towards the magnet. This is because a magnet has an invisible magnetic field. Objects that are attracted to the magnet will be affected by magnetic force, as soon as they are in the magnet’s magnetic field.

1. Magnets attract most _____________________.2. The area around a magnet that attracts objects is called its ___________________________________________________________________________.3. Which will have a bigger magnetic field?A. Weaker magnet B. Stronger magnet C. Smaller magnet

Language: Comparative and Superlative Adjectives ReviewWhen you want to compare two things, use a comparative adjective (like smaller). To compare three or more things, use a superlative adjective (like smallest).

Directions: Choose the correct comparative or superlative adjective and circle the word on the right. 1. Our garden this year is much _________________________ than last year. bigger biggest2.

Reading: The Cat, the Rooster, and the Young Mouse: An Aesop’s Fable

Once there was a very young mouse who lived with his mother. One day, the young mouse was finally old enough to leave his hole for the first time and so he went outside to see the world. When the young mouse came back, he told his mother about all of the creatures that he saw.

"You won’t believe what I saw, Mother," said the young mouse, "The first animal was very beautiful. She had fluffy fur and a long bushy tail. Her ears were pointed nicely, and she made a soft purring sound. The other animal I saw though was frightening. His head was red and it looked like raw meat. He had a red chin that wobbled when he walked. Every now and then, he would stop and ruffle his feathers. Then he would scream with a very loud sound, so I scurried away in fear. I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t stop and chat with the first animal who was beautiful and sweet.”

Mother Mouse listened with relief. She smiled gently as she said, "My little one, the animal that you thought was frightening was actually a harmless bird, called a rooster. The animal that looked beautiful was actually very dangerous and was called a cat. You are lucky that she didn’t see you or you would have been her dinner."

Do not trust outward appearances.1. The lesson or moral of this story is do not trust outward appearances.

Science: More About Magnetic Force - PolesMagnets have been used since the ancient times.

Greek and Romans did not know exactly how they worked but only knew that lodestone attracted objects, like metals. Today, we know that a magnet has two ends. It has a north pole and a south pole. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet. The two opposite poles attract. The north pole of one magnet will repel (pushes away, won’t stick to) another magnet’s north pole. The same poles repel. One interesting thing is that if you cut or accidentally break a bar magnet, those smaller pieces will each have its own north and south pole! Write repel or attract for each set of magnet pictures.

Reading: Pancakes for Breakfast Saturday is my favorite day of the week. One of the best things about Saturday is

that we always have pancakes for breakfast. My dad is in charge of making them and we go bananas for his pancakes. Not only does he make pancakes, but he either makes sausage or bacon to go with them. It’s weird but I love to dip either of those breakfast meats into the syrup and they taste heavenly.

One day my dad asked me if I wanted to help make the pancakes. At first I felt like a fish out of water, since I don’t usually cook. My dad seemed excited about having my help, so I told him that it sounded like fun. We got out a big bowl, the pancake mix, a few eggs, and some oil. After adding all of the ingredients, we also added a little bit of water. So far it looked awful, but I didn’t say anything. My dad gave me a big wooden spoon and told me to mix it all together until it looked more like batter. I mixed and mixed and finally asked him to take a look. He said I mixed it well and that it was time to turn on the pancake griddle. Since we make so many pancakes, the griddle works well because it’s so big. My dad showed me how to spoon the batter on the griddle. Then he told me to watch for the batter to look bubbly on top and then to flip it quickly. I was nervous at first to flip it, but it wasn’t that hard and it was kind of fun! Shortly after the pancakes were flipped, they were done and I put a few on each plate. I think I might ask my dad if he needs help every Saturday!

What is the meaning of the underlined phrases, called idioms? Circle the letter by the correct definition.1. Go bananasA. Are crazy about B. To dislike C. Use bananas in the recipe

2. Taste heavenlyA. Are disgusting B. Are delicious C. Are light and fluffy

3. Like a fish out of waterA. Trying to catch my breath B. Comfortable C. Doing something new

Reading: The Ice Cream Shop Last Saturday, it was really hot. In fact it was so hot that even though my mom and dad planes a family

work day (to pull weeds and to clean up the backyard), they decided to call it quits after an hour due to theheat. After we went inside and ate lunch, out of the blue my dad asked if we wanted to hop in the car andget an ice cream cone for a treat. All of us said yes, of course, and piled into the car.

As we walked into the ice cream shop, I could feel a wave of cool air hit my face. We looked at theice cream flavors behind the glass cases and I couldn’t decide between bubble gum ice cream and cake batter ice cream. My little sister, who is tiny, asked my dad if she could get a banana split but I don’t think she realized how much food that was. My dad said her eyes were bigger than her stomach, so he told her to just get a single scoop.

Once we ordered and got our ice cream, we sat at a little table and started to chow down. I ended up with cake batter in a waffle cone with sprinkles. It was actually bigger than I thought it would be, but I ate the whole thing! When we finished, we thanked our mom and dad and got back in the car to go home.

What is the meaning of the underlined phrases, called idioms? Circle the letter by the correct definition.1. Call it quitsA. To be lazy B. To stop what you are doing C. To keep going

2. Out of the blueA. A surprise/without warning B. Like always C. Feeling sad

3. Her eyes were bigger than her stomachA. She has owl eyes B. She wants more food than she can eat C. She is happy

4. Chow downA. To eat chow mein B. To nibble slowly C. To eat everything

Social Studies: Argentina

Reading: How the Bear Lost Its Tail: Ojibwe Legend Long ago, in the cold of winter, Bear was walking along the frozen lake. As he was

walking, Bear saw Otter near a hole in the ice. Beside Otter was a big pile of fish. Bear asked Otter how he was able to catch so many fish. At that time, Bear had a long bushy tail and he was very proud of it. He even bragged about his tail to the other animals. So, instead of telling Bear, Otter, who was very mischievous, decided to play a trick on Bear. Otter told Bear that he caught the fish by putting his tail in the ice hole. Otter explained how he wiggled it around until a fish bit it. Then he quickly pulled the fish out of the water. Bear was eager to try and asked Otter if he could borrow his fishing hole. Otter told Bear that he had plenty of fish and that he was welcome to it. At that, Otter scooped up his pile of fish and walked away.

Bear sat by the ice hole and lowered his tail into the freezing water. Then he waited. Every now and then Bear wiggled his tail, hoping a fish might notice. He waited and waited but not even one fish nibbled on his tail. Finally, the sun was starting to set, and Bear decided to go home. As he started to stand up though, he couldn’t because his tail had frozen into the ice! Bear was stuck there. He pulled and pulled at his tail but it didn’t budge. Finally, Bear pulled with all of his might and only a stub of his tail was left! Bear walked away sad and hungry. Ever since that day, bears have short tails.1. Why did Otter want to play a trick on Bear? Which sentence told you that? Answers may vary: Otter wanted to play a trick on Bear because Bear bragged about his tail. The text stated, “He even bragged about his tail to the other animals.”

Reading: King Midas and the Golden Touch: Greek Myth Long ago there lived a king named Midas who was very rich. King Midas was so rich that he had

more gold than anyone else in the whole world. The King also had a daughter named Marigold, who was kind and good. Although the King loved Marigold, all he could think of was how to get more gold.

As the King was counting his money, a fairy appeared. The fairy told the King that she would grant him one wish.Very quickly, the King replied that he wished that anything he touched would turn to gold. The fairy told the King that his wish would be granted at sunrise tomorrow. She warned him however, that his gift would not bring him happiness. The King ignored the warning, thinking this was the best wish anyone could imagine.

When King Midas woke up the next day, he was eager to see if his wish had come true. He touched the bed and it turned to gold. He touched the nightstand and it turned to gold too. Then he ran around the room touching everything he could see, and they each turned to gold as the fairy had promised.

The King went downstairs to eat breakfast but as he lifted his glass of water, it turned to gold and he couldn’t drink it. He picked up some bread and it turned to gold and he couldn’t eat it. Then Marigold ran into the kitchen to hug her father and at once, she turned into gold. The King cried out for the fairy and begged her to take away his wish. As the King told the fairy that he had learned his lesson, she took pity on him and told him to take a pitcher to the pond and to fill it with water. When he sprinkled the water on anything he had turned to gold, it would change back. The King did what the fairy said and with a thankful heart, he sat down to breakfast with his daughter.1. What is the theme of this myth? A. Greed brings bad things B. Gold makes you happy C. Be yourself D. Everyone is important

2. Name at least one key detail from the myth which supports this theme. Answers may vary: When the King touched the glass of water it turned to gold and he couldn’t drink the water. The bread turned to gold and he couldn’t eat it. He hugged his daughter and she turned to gold.

Science: Inherited Traits, Instincts, and Learned Behaviors

When an animal has a baby, it passes down physical traits like body shape, size, and scales, feathers, or fur. It also passes down instincts, like a bird building a nest, a bear hibernating, or squirrels preparing for winter.

Besides traits that are inherited, animals also learn behaviors from other animals or from their own experiences in their environment. For example, chimpanzees can catch termites by putting a stick into a termite mound. When the termites crawl all over the stick, the chimpanzee is able to eat the termites. Knowing how to make a termite catching tool is not an inherited trait or a chimpanzee instinct. The chimp either learned to make this tool from watching another chimpanzee or it created the idea itself. This is a learned behavior. 1. Which one is not inherited?A. Instinct B. Learned behavior C. Trait

2. Learned behaviors are actions that an animal learns from _________others_________ animals or from their own _______experiences_____________________________.

Reading: KoalasIn the wild, koalas are found only in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. Even though lots of people

call them koala bears, koalas are not related to bears at all. They are actually marsupials, which means the mothers have a pouch where the newborn babies grow. Koalas are related to other marsupials like kangaroos and wombats.

Koalas sleep from 16 - 20 hours a day. When they are awake, it is night time, so they are nocturnal. When Koalas are awake, their main activity is eating. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees, where they eat the bark and leaves. They can go without water for a long time because they get water from the leaves that they eat. Koalas also like to eat mistletoe and box leaves. Koalas weigh about 30 pounds and are usually about two feet tall. They have thumbs which can grab, like people do (opposable thumbs). This helps them hold on to tree branches. They have tough skin on their feet to keep them from slipping and falling. They also have soft fur that feels like wool. They are mostly gray, with white fur on their underside and on the tips of their ears.

Koala mothers usually have one baby, called a joey, each year. When the baby is born, it is the size of a peanut and is bald and blind. It climbs into the mother’s pouch where it can feed on milk and grow. When the joey is six months old, it sometimes leaves the pouch to explore but still stays close to its mother. When the joey is one years old, it can live on its own. 1. Which animal is closely related to a koala? A. Bear B. Kangaroo C. Monkey 2. What does nocturnal mean? A. Sleeps during the day B. Sleeps at night C. Sleeps off and on all the time

3. On which continent are koalas located? They are from Australia.4. Where do koalas get much of their water? They get water from the leaves they eat.

Science: MotionWe know that a force can cause an object to stop, start, or

to continue moving. When an object moves, it is called motion. There are lots of different ways an object can move:

Objects in motion can move at different speeds. They can be as fast as a rocket or as slow as a snail. They can also be somewhere between a rocket and a snail.

Objects in motion can also move in different ways.•Zig Zag or Straight•Up and Down•Back and Forth•Round and RoundNext to each object, write the type of motion it uses.

1. __B__ Swings2. __R__ Tornado3. __Z__ Lightning4. __U__ Trampoline5. __R__ Carousel6. __S__ Train7. __B__ Grandfather Clock’s Pendulum8. __R__ Tires on a Car

Science: Magnets as a ForceForce can cause things that we touch to move.

When we push bicycle pedals with our feet or shoot a basketball with our hands, the objects move. Force can also occur though, when things do not touch each other. Static electricity is one example of that and magnetism is another.

If you’ve ever played with a magnet, you know that magnets attract some kinds of metals. Their pulling force is called magnetism. If you put a magnet on a paper clip, the paper clip sticks to the magnet. If you put a magnet near a paperclip, without touching it, the paperclip will jump towards the magnet. This is because a magnet has an invisible magnetic field. Objects that are attracted to the magnet will be affected by magnetic force, as soon as they are in the magnet’s magnetic field.

Reading: The Cat, the Rooster, and the Young Mouse: An Aesop’s Fable

Once there was a very young mouse who lived with his mother. One day, the young mouse was finally old enough to leave his hole for the first time and so he went outside to see the world. When the young mouse came back, he told his mother about all of the creatures that he saw.

"You won’t believe what I saw, Mother," said the young mouse, "The first animal was very beautiful. She had fluffy fur and a long bushy tail. Her ears were pointed nicely, and she made a soft purring sound. The other animal I saw though was frightening. His head was red and it looked like raw meat. He had a red chin that wobbled when he walked. Every now and then, he would stop and ruffle his feathers. Then he would scream with a very loud sound, so I scurried away in fear. I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t stop and chat with the first animal who was beautiful and sweet.”

Mother Mouse listened with relief. She smiled gently as she said, "My little one, the animal that you thought was frightening was actually a harmless bird, called a rooster. The animal that looked beautiful was actually very dangerous and was called a cat. You are lucky that she didn’t see you or you would have been her dinner."

Do not trust outward appearances.1. The lesson or moral of this story is do not trust outward appearances. What does this mean? It means that looks can be deceiving. You can’t tell a person’s character by the way they look.

2. Name one key detail from this fable that is an example of a reason you should not trust outward appearances. The Mouse wanted to chat with the Cat who looked pretty but was dangerous/The Mouse was afraid of the Rooster who looked scary but was harmless.

Once there was a very young mouse who lived with his mother. One day, the young mouse was finally old

Science: More About Magnetic Force - PolesMagnets have been used since the ancient times.

Greek and Romans did not know exactly how they worked but only knew that lodestone attracted objects, like metals. Today, we know that a magnet has two ends. It has a north pole and a south pole. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet. The two opposite poles attract. The north pole of one magnet will repel (pushes away, won’t stick to) another magnet’s north pole. The same poles repel. One interesting thing is that if you cut or accidentally break a bar magnet, those smaller pieces will each have its own north and south pole! Write repel or attract for each set of magnet pictures.

Reading: Pancakes for Breakfast Saturday is my favorite day of the week. One of the best things about Saturday is

that we always have pancakes for breakfast. My dad is in charge of making them and we go bananas for his pancakes. Not only does he make pancakes, but he either makes sausage or bacon to go with them. It’s weird but I love to dip either of those breakfast meats into the syrup and they taste heavenly.

One day my dad asked me if I wanted to help make the pancakes. At first I felt like a fish out of water, since I don’t usually cook. My dad seemed excited about having my help, so I told him that it sounded like fun. We got out a big bowl, the pancake mix, a few eggs, and some oil. After adding all of the ingredients, we also added a little bit of water. So far it looked awful, but I didn’t say anything. My dad gave me a big wooden spoon and told me to mix it all together until it looked more like batter. I mixed and mixed and finally asked him to take a look. He said I mixed it well and that it was time to turn on the pancake griddle. Since we make so many pancakes, the griddle works well because it’s so big. My dad showed me how to spoon the batter on the griddle. Then he told me to watch for the batter to look bubbly on top and then to flip it quickly. I was nervous at first to flip it, but it wasn’t that hard and it was kind of fun! Shortly after the pancakes were flipped, they were done and I put a few on each plate. I think I might ask my dad if he needs help every Saturday!

Reading: The Ice Cream Shop Last Saturday, it was really hot. In fact it was so hot that even though my mom and dad planes a family

work day (to pull weeds and to clean up the backyard), they decided to call it quits after an hour due to theheat. After we went inside and ate lunch, out of the blue my dad asked if we wanted to hop in the car andget an ice cream cone for a treat. All of us said yes, of course, and piled into the car.

As we walked into the ice cream shop, I could feel a wave of cool air hit my face. We looked at theice cream flavors behind the glass cases and I couldn’t decide between bubble gum ice cream and cake batter ice cream. My little sister, who is tiny, asked my dad if she could get a banana split but I don’t think she realized how much food that was. My dad said her eyes were bigger than her stomach, so he told her to just get a single scoop.

Once we ordered and got our ice cream, we sat at a little table and started to chow down. I ended up with cake batter in a waffle cone with sprinkles. It was actually bigger than I thought it would be, but I ate the whole thing! When we finished, we thanked our mom and dad and got back in the car to go home.
