Lesson:
‘Kate, I wish we had a boat to put the dolls in. Don’t you?’
‘I know what we can do. We can get the little tub, and tie a rope to it, and drag it to the pond. This will float with the dolls in it, and we can get a pole to push it from the shore.’
‘What a funny boat, Kate! A tub for a boat, and a pole for an oar! Won’t it upset?’
‘We can try it, Nell, and see.’
‘Well you get the tub, and I will get a pole and a rope. We will put both dolls in the tub, and give them a ride.’
Copy work:
The dolls had a nice ride to the pond. A soft wind made the tub float out. Nell let the pole fall on the tub, and upset it.
