How the lesson starts: Build Word Relationships

Kiki's messy pouch
Hi! This is Kiki the kangaroo. Oh no! Kiki's pouch is a big mess. Apples, socks, and toy cats are all mixed up. Let's help Kiki sort her words!
Sort into groups
Words that go together make a group. Apple, bread, grapes. Those are food! Shirt, coat, sock. Those are clothes! Cat, horse, duck. Those are animals!
Let's sort four words
Kiki pulls out teacher, park, mom and zoo. Two groups, places and people. Ask about each word. Can you go there? Park and zoo are places. Is it a person? Teacher and mom are people!
