Welcome back.
It's time for a game.
You all know what it is.
It's called: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
I will talk about one of today's key words.
And when you know what it is, raise your hand and say...
I know it!
Are you ready?
Let's go.
This is something that lives in the ocean.
It is very big, and gains a lot of weight very quickly.
Hey, I... I know it, Nathan.
The key word you're talking about is a whale.
Am I right?
You're right.
And I'm sure you are, too.
A whale is a huge animal.
And a blue whale is the world's largest animal.
I hope you enjoyed learning about animals.
Let's review today's conversations.
What are you reading, Rob?
I'm reading a book about animals.
I'm learning some amazing things.
What are you reading about?
Baby animals.
Did you know that polar bears weigh only one or two pounds when they're born?
Really! Adult polar bears are really big!
You're right!
Some adult polar bears weigh 1,500 pounds!
Baby polar bears gain weight fast.
Yes. They'll weigh almost 100 pounds at eight months old.
What else did you read?
Guess how tall giraffes are at birth.
Hmm. Four feet tall.
No. They're six feet tall!
That's almost as tall as me!
I know!
Oh, here's something about blue whales.
Blue whales are the world's largest animals.
Right. Baby blue whales gain 200 pounds a day in their first year!
Two hundred pounds a day?
I'm happy I don't gain weight like that!
Me, too!
The world is full of amazing animals.
Some adult polar bears weigh 1,500 pounds.
But a baby polar bear weighs only one to two pounds when it's born.
When giraffes are born, they are already six feet tall.
That's taller than a lot of people!
Blue whales are the world's largest animals.
Baby blue whales have to gain a lot of weight to become so large.
So they gain 200 pounds a day during their first year!
Ginger, today we are talking about animals.
Yeah, animals are amazing.
I know.
So Ginger, what can you tell me about animals?
They're amazing.
Well, yes.
But what facts do you know about polar bears, blue whales and giraffes?
Hmm... Ooh, facts about polar bears, blue whales and giraffes?
Yeah, tell us some facts.
OK, polar bears are white.
Blue whales are blue.
And giraffes have spots.
No, Ginger.
Yeah. Monkey Man, it's true.
Well, I know.
But what did we learn today about animals?
Animals are amazing, especially monkeys.
You're right.
Hooray! So can I have a banana?
OK.
Hello.

Sidney, you just keep playing with your dolls, and Grandpa's going to take a
little nap, OK?
OK, Grandpa.
Annie, do you want some tea?
Do you hear that noise?
Oh, it's... it's OK.
Don't cry.
It's just Grandpa snoring.
Wow! I'm happy I...
I... I'm happy that...
Grandpa, I'm trying to say something, but you keep snoring.
I'm happy I don't snore like Grandpa does.
What? Who said that?

And today's super sentence is: I'm happy I don't do something like someone else
does.
You want to say, "I'm happy I don't snore like Grandpa does," right?
You're right.
Great.
Can you use the super sentence in another way?
Sure.
I'm happy I don't have a test tomorrow like Julie does.

Excellent!
What about you, Grandpa?
He's sleeping!
Oh, watch this.
Grandpa, what are you happy about?
I am happy I don't have to wear silly red clothes like Super Sentence Man.
It worked!
I'm happy I don't have to wear silly red clothes like Super Sentence Man.
I don't have to wear them.

Now what super sentence do you need to use with your little doll Annie?
