This second medium worksheet broadens first graders' learning to grasshoppers, salmon, and baby animal names. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank sentences covering grasshopper stages like nymph and adult, plus where salmon lay eggs. Part B is a matching activity pairing animals (Frog, Dog, Chicken, Grasshopper) with their young (Tadpole, Puppy, Chick, Nymph), teaching first graders the special names we use for baby animals across many species.
