   The Cloudy Picnic

   Ana and her mom packed sandwiches for a picnic at the beach. As they spread out the blanket, dark clouds rolled over the water, and the wind began to blow the napkins across the sand. Ana looked up and felt a drop land on her nose.

2. 1.

   Model answer: It will start to rain, so Ana and her mom will pack up the picnic and run for cover. (Any prediction that fits the clues in the story is right.)

3. The Wobbly Tooth

   Leo had a loose tooth that wiggled all week. At lunch he bit into a crunchy apple and felt the tooth move even more. He put his finger on it, and it wobbled back and forth.

4. 2.

   Model answer: Leo's tooth will fall out soon, maybe at lunch. (Any prediction that fits the clues in the story is right.)
