Patty, Bobby, and Mac

Here is our story for the week, where we are focusing on Arizona.  The bold letters are the vocabulary for the month.  Feel free to show them these pictures on the blog, or print out the pictures! Have your child answer questions about the story, retell the story, or just listen to you tell the story!

1. Once there was a girl named Patty and a boy named Bobby.  They had a dog named Mac that went everywhere with them.

2. They all lived in Arizona together.  By their house they had mountains, cacti, and a citrus tree with oranges.  Arizona is a desert, and it does not have a lot of water.  By their house there wasn't a lot of grass, because deserts are mostly made with sand and rocks.

3. One day, Patty, Bobby, and Mac got lost!  They looked around and saw lots of grass and trees. They knew they weren't in the desert of Arizona anymore.  They saw lots of elephants and a monkey. They thought, "These animals don't live in Arizona!." They felt sad. They wanted to find their home!

4. Next they found themselves by the ocean!  There was lots of water by them.  They knew they weren't in Arizona because Arizona doesn't have an ocean! They still felt sad and kept trying to find Arizona.

5. After awhile, Patty, Bobby and Mac stopped walking.  They looked around they saw mountains, cacti, and a citrus orange tree.  They were back in the desert!  They were so happy that they finally found Arizona again!
