Let's solve each question in the "Making Predictions" worksheet step by step, based on the information provided and logical reasoning.
---
1. Katie was telling her friends a very funny story about a trick her dog can do. Her friends thought it was very funny. What do you predict her friends did next?
Choices:
a) They laughed.
b) They got mad.
c) They went home sad.
Analysis:
The key detail is that the story was *very funny* and *her friends thought it was very funny*. When people find something funny, their natural reaction is to laugh.
✔ Correct prediction: a) They laughed.

2. Bobby could hardly keep his eyes open. He didn't take a nap during the afternoon. What do you predict Bobby will do next?
Choices:
a) go to sleep
b) watch TV
c) eat dinner
Analysis:
Bobby is tired ("could hardly keep his eyes open") and missed a nap. This strongly suggests he is sleepy. The most logical next action for someone who is very tired is to sleep.
✔ Correct prediction: a) go to sleep
*(Note: The picture shows a boy sleeping in bed with “Zzzz” above his head, which supports this answer.)*

3. Jessie and Freddie put on their snow coats. They got their hats, boots, and scarves. They went outside and began to put the snowballs on top of each other. They went to look for two sticks.
MAKE A PREDICTION:
Analysis:
They are building a snowman — they’ve stacked snowballs (the body), and now they're looking for two sticks. Sticks are typically used for arms on a snowman.
✔ Prediction: *They will use the sticks as arms for the snowman.*

4. Patty practiced her spelling words every night. She did her spelling homework each night also. What do you predict will happen next?
MAKE A PREDICTION:
Analysis:
Patty is consistent in practicing and doing homework. This shows dedication and effort. Based on this pattern, we can predict positive outcomes related to her learning.
✔ Prediction: *Patty will do well on her spelling test.*
(Or: *She will improve her spelling skills.*)
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
a) They laughed.
2.
a) go to sleep
3.
They will use the sticks as arms for the snowman.
4.
Patty will do well on her spelling test. *(or similar reasonable outcome)*
These predictions are based on logic, context clues, and understanding of cause and effect.
