Example, "Look at your words. Find the ones that start with "s". Look at the letter I made on the chalkboard, this is an "s". There are 3 words that start with an "s". They could say stem or seeds or shell. Help me out. We are looking for the word stem. What sound comes next in the word stem...sss tttt eee mmmm? That's correct a "t". A "t" looks like this. Find the word that looks like this.." Write "stem" on chalkboard.

Glue all words on.

10. Open book so the inside is showing. Have students put lots of white glue on the right inside page and then put wrinkly orange yarn for pulp and dried pumpkin seeds into the glue. Leave books open until dry (probably overnight).
