I can put steps in order and use sequence words.
Making a Bird Feeder
First, wash an empty milk carton and let it dry. Next, ask an adult to cut a large window in two sides. Then poke a hole near the top and push a string through it. After that, pour birdseed into the bottom of the carton. Finally, hang the feeder from a tree branch. Because the seed is easy to see and reach, birds will soon start to visit.

Social Studies
I can tell how U.S. regions make different goods and trade them.
Every Region Has Its Specialty
Different parts of the United States have different weather, soil and resources. So each region specializes, or does a few things very well. Wisconsin makes more cheese than any other state. Arkansas grows the most rice. Texas grows the most cotton. California grows almonds, and Maine is known for wild blueberries. Trucks, trains, ships and planes carry these goods across the country, so a family in any state can enjoy them.
