What Do You Care About?

[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life.  Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”

Today I want to teach you two more words.

The first word is care.  To care means to love someone or something.  To care also means to be interested in something.  The man cared for his sick dog.  He loved his dog and gave it medicine and good food.  Mothers care for their children, even after their children are adults.  They worry about their children and pray for their children.  I don’t care whether you eat chicken or fish.  That means, you can eat either chicken or fish.  I am not concerned which meat you choose.

The second word is worm.  Can you say worm?  It rhymes with “firm” and “germ”.  A worm is a small, long, thin animal with no arms or legs.  It is like a snake, but smaller, and it has no bones.  It does not bite with poison like a snake.  People often put worms on a hook to catch fish.

Today I want to teach you just two words.  Both words start with “sh”!  Can you say “sh”? 

The first word is shade. Shade is the area of darkness made by something that is blocking the light.
The trees in my yard give shade to the house.  It’s hot, let’s sit in the shade. 

The other word is shelter.  Can you say “shelter”?  Good job!  A shelter is something that covers or protects people or animals from danger or bad weather.  A shelter can be something permanent like a house, or something temporary like a tent or even some branches from a tree.  Sometimes very poor people use a cardboard box for shelter.  Nests are shelters for birds.  Many small animals find shelter in holes in the ground. 

Story 12: The Two Gifts

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is “best”. Best means “better than all others in quality or value.”  “Best” rhymes with “rest” and “nest”.  Okay, now you say “best”! That sounded good, but was that your best effort? I think you can do better. Try again. Say “Best”.  Excellent! 

The second word is “accept”. Can you say “accept”?  Accept.  Don't get the word “accept” confused with “except”.  In the story accept is used in two ways.  It means “to receive or take something offered”.  They offered him the job, and he accepted it.  Accept also means, “to allow someone to be part of a group; to look with favor or approval upon someone.”
John accepted Tom as a Facebook friend. The opposite of accept is to reject.
