Ms. Mona : Yes! That’s your sense of
hearing. What else can we use?
Salma : I can smell the flowers and see
the colorful butterflies!
Ms. Mona : Excellent, Salma! Those are
your senses of smell and sight. Senses also help us stay safe.
Sami : Ms. Mona, how do our senses help us stay safe?

we know there's a fire.

My Healthy Day
Sarah is a healthy 10-year-old girl. She follows good habits every day
to stay strong and healthy.
In the morning, Sarah wakes up early at 6:00
a.m. She brushes her teeth and washes her
face. Next, she does some simple exercises in
the garden.
For breakfast, Sarah eats healthy food. She
drinks orange juice and eats eggs and brown
bread. These foods give her energy for the day.
At school, Sarah drinks plenty of water between classes. She plays
sports with her friends during break time.
In the afternoon, Sarah does her homework first. After that, she
helps her mother in the garden. They grow fresh vegetables together.
For dinner, Sarah eats lots of vegetables and fruits. These give her
important vitamins. She doesn’t eat too many sweets.
In the evening, Sarah takes a shower and brushes her teeth again.
She goes to bed early at 8:30 p.m. She sleeps for 9 hours every night.
Getting enough sleep helps her body stay healthy and her mind stay
sharp.
Sarah’s healthy habits help her feel good and do well at school. She
has lots of energy to learn, play, and enjoy her day!
Think
Why is a good night’s sleep important to us?

Lesson
Goha’s Great Meal
One morning, Goha was walking through the market. He was very
hungry, but didn’t have enough money to buy food. Suddenly, he
smelled something wonderful. The yummy smell was coming from a
restaurant’s window. Goha stopped and sat outside the restaurant.
He closed his eyes and took a deep
breath.
"Ah," he said. "This wonderful smell
makes me feel less hungry!"
The restaurant owner saw Goha and
asked, “What are you doing?”
Goha said, “I’m enjoying the smell of
your delicious soup.”
The owner was greedy. He said, “You
can’t smell the soup for free! You must
pay for it!”
Goha thought for a moment. Then, he took out a few coins from his
pocket. He shook them in his hand, and they made a jingling sound.
"Here," said Goha. "If you want money for the smell of your soup, then
you can take the sound of my coins."
The owner laughed at Goha’s clever answer. “Come inside,” he said.
“Let’s share this soup. Good food tastes better when shared with
others!"
Think
Why does food taste better when it's shared?

cars every day. We can take the school bus instead. There
will be fewer cars on the road.
Mona : That’s right! The second problem is trash. Some people
don’t put trash in bins, so the streets look dirty.

Dear diary,
Today, Grandpa told me amazing stories about our community’s history.
Fifty years ago, our neighborhood was very different! Where our big
supermarket stands now, there was a beautiful old market with wooden
stalls. People sold fresh fruits and vegetables every morning.
The tall buildings weren’t here then. Instead, there were small houses with
beautiful gardens. Everyone knew their neighbors, and children played safely in
the streets. There was even a small train station where our park is now!
Grandpa showed me old photos. I saw the old school that still stands
today. He said people helped to build it together many years ago. It makes
me proud to know our community has such a rich history.
Yours truly,
Hana

Lesson 2 Taking Care of Animals
a b
Helping Animals
Animals need our help to stay healthy and safe. Some animals live in
the wild, while others live in zoos or homes. Each animal needs special
care to live well.
Zoo animals need special attention. Elephants need bigger spaces
than monkeys to move around. Lions eat a lot of food to stay stronger
than other animals. Giraffes need taller trees to reach their food.
Vets often check their health.
Wild animals face different challenges. Their homes are getting
smaller because of new cities. They need clean water and safe
places to live. Forest officers now work harder than before to protect
these animals and their homes.
Pets need daily care from their owners. Dogs need exercise. Rabbits
eat fresh vegetables, and they are healthier than other animals. Birds
need cleaner cages than other animals.
Everyone can help protect animals in simple ways. Small acts of
kindness make our world better. When we care for animals, we create
a safer place for them. Being kind to animals teaches us to be better
people. Together, we can make their lives happier and healthier.

Lesson 2
Comparative Adjectives
We use comparative adjectives to compare two people, things,
animals, etc.
Comparative forms with short adjectives.
Add: –er to the end of the adjective:
● short shorter ● clean cleaner
Example: A zebra is shorter than a giraffe.
If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, double the
consonant before you add –er
● big bigger
Example: Bears are bigger than dogs.
If an adjective ends in -e, we add –r to the end of the adjective:
● safe safer
Example: Cats are safer than lions.
If an adjective ends in a consonant and -y, change -y to -i and
add –er
● healthy healthier
Example: Rabbits are healthier than other animals.

Endangered Animals
Many animals around the world are in danger of disappearing
forever. These animals are called endangered species. Here are
some important facts about endangered animals.
The Arabian Leopard is one of the
most endangered animals in Egypt and
the Middle East. Less than 200 of these
beautiful cats remain in the wild. One
reason is that these animals are in
danger because people build houses in
their habitats.
The Red Sea Dugong is another endangered animal in Egypt.
These gentle sea animals eat sea grass. They are in danger
because of pollution and fishing nets.
To help these animals, we need to:
● protect their homes.
● stop pollution.
● create safe areas.
● teach people about them.
If we don’t act now, these amazing
animals could disappear forever.

Animals need our help to stay healthy and safe. Some live in the wild, while others
live in zoos or homes. Zoo animals, like elephants and lions, need space, food,
and vet checks. Wild animals face challenges, like their homes getting smaller.
They also need clean water and safe places to live in. Pets, like dogs and rabbits,
need daily care, exercise, and fresh food. Birds need clean cages, and all pets
need vet visits. We can help by being kind and caring for animals.

Our city has many important places that help people every day.
One important place is the school. Students go there to learn and
meet friends. Teachers help them, and the
library has many books to read or borrow.
Another important place is the hospital.
Doctors and nurses help sick people feel
better. Next to the hospital is the post office,
where people send letters and packages to stay connected.
The shopping mall has many stores and restaurants. People buy
things and eat there. Behind it is a museum with treasures that
teach us about our history.
These places make our city a great place to live.
Think
What would happen if a city didn't have one of these places?

In a small school, there was a girl named Wanda. She was a quiet girl
who sat in the back of the classroom. Wanda always wore the same
faded blue dress every day. Despite this, Wanda told everyone she had a
hundred beautiful dresses at home, all lined up in her closet.

Story
The popular girls at school, especially Peggy and Maddie, annoyed Wanda
every morning. One day, while they were in the playground, Peggy said,
“Hey, Wanda, tell us about your hundred dresses!” The other girls laughed.
Maddie didn’t like how they were annoying Wanda, but she stayed quiet.
Maddie was afraid of losing Peggy’s friendship. Soon, most of the girls
were annoying Wanda and laughing about her hundred dresses.

One day, Miss Mason, the teacher, announced that it was time for the

and one girl as winners.” When it was time to announce the winners,

drawings of dresses of all colors and designs. Wanda drew and signed all
the drawings. She won the competition, but she wasn’t there to receive
her medal.

Story
Wanda was absent for several days, but no one noticed. Miss Mason
read a letter from Wanda’s dad, saying that Wanda’s family moved to the
big city, where they wouldn’t face unkindness.
Peggy and Maddie felt terrible. They realized that when Wanda talked
about her hundred dresses, she meant those drawings, her dreams on
paper. Maddie said to Peggy, “We need to write to Wanda and apologize.”
They wrote her a letter, saying, “Wanda, your drawings are beautiful and
amazing. It’s very sad that you aren’t here to receive your medal.
We are sorry for our behavior and hope that you’re happy at your
new school.”

This experience changed Peggy and Maddie forever. They learned that
