1. Draw a simple family tree: grandparents at the top, then parents, then children.

Read-aloud: My Teeth

1. Read “My Teeth” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
