Today, we will explore new words that we can use in our everyday conversations. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and feelings clearly. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss what these words mean and how we can use them in sentences.
Let's look at the sentence: 'The cat is on the mat.' We can see that it has a subject (the cat), a verb (is), and a prepositional phrase (on the mat). Now, let's change the sentence to: 'The dog is on the mat.' Notice how we only changed one word, but the meaning is still clear. This shows us how we can build sentences by changing words while keeping the structure.
Now, I will give you a few words: 'bird', 'tree', 'fly'. Let's work together to create sentences using these words. For example, 'The bird is in the tree.' I will write it on the board. Now, I want you to think of your own sentence using one of the words. Raise your hand when you have your sentence ready, and we will share them with the class.
It's time for you to write your own sentences! Choose three words from the list I provided: 'sun', 'run', 'happy'. Write one sentence for each word, making sure to use correct punctuation. After you finish writing, draw a picture that represents one of your sentences. Be ready to share your sentences and pictures with the class!

Answer: Dog
The word 'dog' can replace 'cat' while keeping the sentence structure intact.

The subject is the part of the sentence that indicates who or what is being discussed.

This sentence follows the correct structure and punctuation.

The word 'happy' describes a feeling or emotion.
Answer: Full stop
A full stop is used to indicate the end of a declarative sentence.
Answer: Flies
The verb 'flies' tells us what action the subject (the bird) is doing.
