🎈 Let’s Make Lists!
Introduction
Lists are like tiny treasure maps that help us remember things. Whether it’s the toys you want to pack for a trip or the steps to bake a cookie, a list keeps everything in order.
1. Why We Use Lists
- Clear And Simple – A list shows one idea per line, so it’s easy to see what’s next.
- No Forgetting – When you write it down, you’re less likely to miss a step.
Imagine trying to remember a long story without notes – a list is the shortcut!
2. How to Make a List
- Pick A Topic – What do you want to remember? (e.g., “My Morning Routine”).
- Write One Word Per Line – Keep it short: brush teeth, eat breakfast, put on shoes.
- Add A Check Mark – When you finish a step, put a ✔️ next to it.
3. Fun Ways to Use Lists
- Adventure List – Write down places you’d like to explore: park, beach, grandma’s house.
- Snack List – Choose healthy treats for the week: apple, carrots, yogurt.
- Story List – List characters, settings, and actions before you start writing a tale.
4. Comparing Lists to Other Tools
- List Vs. Memory – A list is a paper friend; memory is a brain friend. Using both makes you super‑smart!
- List Vs. Drawing – Draw a picture of your day, then add a list to see the details.
Did You Know? 🤔
The word “list” comes from the Old English word liste, meaning “a strip of paper.” Long ago, people used tiny strips to keep track of chores—just like we do today!
