I am going on a long walk. Two camels walk with me.

These are my camels. One is named Fares. The other is named Seema. They help carry my things.

I am careful when I pack the camels.Each one has a hump. I pack my things around their humps.

I take care of the camels. I bring them to water. I feed them grain in the morning and at night.

A camel can drink as much as 30 gallons of water at one time.

The camels are strong. We are a good team. I am glad to have their help on my long walk.

Ann is looking left. Ben is looking right.

The bench is near them. The swing is far.

The leaves are high. The grass is low.

1. Find the cat. Is it looking left or right?

2. Find the tree. Is it on the left or right of Ann?

3. Is Ann near Ben or far from Ben?

4. Is the squirrel high or low?

Big Idea: Words tell where things are in a place.
