We're going to be doing more thinking work together. Let's start with this one.

Ling went to the PETTING ZOO. Her favorite part of the day was when she got to pick up and
cuddle this animal in her arms. Circle the animal that she held. (the bunny is correct)

Why is that animal the right one?

If incorrect or not well-explained SAY: You can put your arms around any one of these animals,
so any one you circle might be okay. But I want you to tell me which one would be the EASIEST
one for you to pick up and hold in your arms.

Before we try this next one, I want you to know that some of these were easy, but some might be
very hard. It's not important that you know the right answer. What is important is that you stick with it.

Okay, what comes next here? (black triangle is correct )

Why did you pick that one?

If incorrect or not well-explained SAY: This one is tricky because two patterns are going on at once.
The color goes from black to white and the shapes have their own pattern too.

Let's slow down and figure this out. First, let's figure out what COLOR comes next. Let's say it out
loud like we did for the other ones. It goes black, white, black, white, black, white . . . What color
comes next? (black)

Now let's figure out what SHAPE comes next. Let's remember to say it out loud as we point to the
shapes so that we're sure of what comes next: triangle, triangle, flower, triangle, triangle, flower,
triangle, triangle, flower. . . . what shape comes next? (triangle)
