Dog runs up the street toward home. SPLASH! A ball bounces in a<br />
puddle and some gray mud splatters him. Now Dog has eight spots.<br />
(Place gray spot on Dog)<br />
In front of the gate Dog steps onto an orange juice box. SPLURT!<br />
The straw squirts an orange patch onto him. Now Dog has nine spots. (Place orange spot on Dog)<br />
Dog races back inside the house and right into someone who is coloring<br />
with markers. The marker leaves a purple smudge on Dog’s head. Now<br />
Dog has ten spots. (Place purple spot on Dog)<br />
When everyone notices how many spots Dog has, he/she says “You need a<br />
<br />
bath, Dog!”<br />

Five Little Frogs (we filled in the blank (underlined word) with animals the children picked)<br />
Five little frogs<br />
were down at the pond, down at the pond at play<br />
along came a hungry <u>alligator</u><br />
and chased one frog away<br />
four little frogs<br />
were down at the pond, down at the pond at play<br />
along came a wiggly <u>snake</u><br />

one little frog<br />

along came a flying <u>eagle</u><br />
and chased one frog away<br />
then no little frogs<br />
were down at the pond, down at the pond at play<br />
where do you think the little frogs went<br />
when they all hopped away?<br />

Spider facts:<br />
Spiders don't have antenna, which separates them from insects<br />
An increase of spiderwebs in your house may be a sign of cold weather coming<br />
Crabs are distant relatives of spiders<br />
Some spiders hunt by spitting poisonous fluid to immobilize their prey<br />
Spiders are nearsighted, which means they can't see things far away<br />

1) What part of the lamb is it's fleece?<br />
2) What else could it be as white as?<br />
3) Do your pets follow you around like Mary's Lamb? How does it make you feel?<br />
4) Why wasn't it all right for Mary's lamb to be at school?<br />
5) What does it mean that "the teacher turned him out"?<br />
