Sixth graders (year 6) verb to be

Let's see if you remember the verb to be.... (have your copy ready just in case...)
easy (check up)
exercise 
advanced (for A grades) (sobresaliente)


Sixth graders (year 6)

Read the story:

Copy and answer the questions in the notebook. 

Write a short summary (20-40 words)


Sun

Lost and Found

Donna and her husband John go to the beach every Saturday in the summer. Today is no exception. Donna packs a picnic lunch. She packs the beach umbrella and sun lotion.

She cannot find their beach towels. Donna always loses things. The towels are not in the laundry basket or dryer. They are not in the closet, either. She finally looks in her beach bag. She sees the towels folded in the bottom. Of course, the beach towels are exactly where they should be.

Donna puts on her swimsuit and floppy sun hat. She is almost ready. She just needs her sunglasses. She thinks they are on the table by the door. Or maybe they are in the bathroom. They could also be in her purse. Donna sighs.

John puts the picnic basket, umbrella, and beach bag in the car.  He  checks his fishing poles and equipment. He places them in the car beside the picnic basket.. Daisy, their dog, jumps in the backseat. She loves the beach! John is ready to leave. Where is Donna? She knows he likes to arrive at the beach before the crowds.

John groans and shakes his head. Donna is always late!

Donna searches for her sunglasses. She cannot find them, and she knows John is waiting. He hates when she is late! She grabs her purse and locks the door.

"You are late," John says as Donna gets in the car. Donna tells John that she could not find her sunglasses.

John looks at her and laughs! He flips down the sun visor so Donna can see herself in the mirror. Donna looks in the mirror and laughs too. Her sunglasses are on top of her head. They were there the whole time!

"It is always in the last place that you look," Donna giggles!

THE END


Questions: (remember to copy them in the notebook)

1. What is the meaning of:

crowds
fishing pole

 2. Where were they going?

3. What was Donna looking for before she closed the door?

4. Why does Donna say "It is always in the last place that you look,"?
