Happy New Year

Eddie sat at the table with his father.

Papa said, “You haven’t been very nice to your sister or your mom lately,

Eddie. Today is New Year’s Day. I hope you will turn over a new leaf this year.”

Eddie was puzzled. He looked outside. “How can I turn over a new

leaf?” he asked. “It’s winter. The trees don’t have leaves.”

Papa laughed. He said, “ ‘Turning over a new leaf’ is a saying. It means

making a big change, a good change. You may go play now,” said Papa.

Eddie got drawing paper and crayons. He drew a leaf and colored it

in. He handed the paper to Papa. As Papa reached for the paper, Eddie turned

it over.

“What are you doing, Eddie?” asked Papa.

“I’m turning over a new leaf,” said Eddie.

“That’s great!” said Papa. “Happy New Year, Eddie.”

What is the first thing Eddie does? Look at the pictures. Select the picture that shows what Eddie does first.

Water, Water, Everywhere

One day in the winter, clouds start to form in the sky. The clouds get

darker. Then it starts to rain. As the air gets colder, the rain turns to snow. Water

on the ground turns to ice.

Clouds, rain, snow, ice—how are all these things alike? They are all

made of water. Water can take many forms. It can take the shape of anything

that holds it. It can change from something wet to something cold and solid. It

can melt again to form a puddle. Water can even change to become part of the

air. You cannot see it when it is in this form. It can change back again to make

tiny drops on the side of a cold glass.

You can make water change form, too. Just put some water in the

freezer. Check it in a few hours. It turns to ice. Leave it out for a while. It will

melt once again. Where can you see water?

Look at the pictures of rain, clouds, snow. In this story,

what comes first in time order? Select the picture of what

comes first.
