Are you curious about how words connect to real life? In this lesson, you'll learn some words we use and how they connect to things we see, taste, and do in real life!
It's true! Keep reading to make some new connections to things we see, taste, and do in our homes!
Let's begin with the word clean.
Hmm...maybe we need to look at an example.
Read the sentence below:
My Mom asked me to clean my room.
Let's make a connection!
In this sentence, the word clean is being used as a verb. A verb is a doing word or an action word.
To clean your room means you are taking away or fixing things that are dirty or messy.
You can clean your room in different ways: by picking up dirty clothes off of the floor, by making your bed, and by putting away your toys.
The word clean can also be used as an adjective. An adjective describes a noun.
Read the sentence below:
The kitchen sink is nice and clean.
Good work!
Next, look around your home.
Now, let's go to the kitchen and learn about a word that can describe things that we eat! Sweet!
Read the sentence below:
The candy is sweet.
Sweet means something is sugary or tastes like sugar.
Cookies are sweet.
Bananas are also sweet!
Look at the picture below and read the sentences:
Good work!
Now, let's move on to another word that can describe things in the kitchen and lots of other places too: cold.
Brrrrrrr!
Read the sentence below:
Ice cream is cold.
It means something is chilled or has a very low temperature. Many things are cold in our world.
Yes, they are! Things in the freezer and refrigerator are cold.
Yes, it is! Snow is definitely cold.
Great work! You learned about some words we use every day, especially in our homes and how they connect to things in real life.
Now, let's move on to the Got It? section to see what connections you can make!
