Antonio’s Story
I have a friend who lives in another world. Her name is Francisca. The world
she lives in is full of light. So she tells me when we meet every Saturday afternoon.
Every Saturday afternoon, my mama takes my hand and we leave the house.
We walk a long way- past other houses where people are talking, past one street
where there are cars honking. At last, when we hear the sounds of children
playing and mothers talking to other mothers, I know we are at the park.
Every Saturday afternoon, here, in this place of happy voices, I meet Francisca
who always shouts in her happy voice, “Hello, Antonio! Let’s go! Let’s go!”
And so, Francisca runs to Mama and says hello and takes my hand. Her
fingers are small but they are strong.
She takes my hand and we walk. As we walk, she talks and tells me everything
she sees along the way:
“Now we are walking near the tree I told you about. “Let’s call it our mango tree. It is
tall-taller than you and me and your mama and my papa even if we all stand on
each other’s shoulders. Its leaves are shaped like knives. Here feel one. You know it
is dry because it is brittle and crumbles easily.
“The tree’s body or the trunk is big, thick and rough. Here touch it! This is the
tree that makes wonderful mangoes, all sweet and smooth and golden.”
I smile because I know what a mango tastes like.
Francisca laughs and says, “The way a mango makes your tongue feel is the
way light makes me feel.”
Sometimes, when Francisca tells me such things, I feel so sad because I cannot
see. My eyes feel nothing except my tears.
But Francisca sees and she sees my hot tears sliding down my cheeks. She holds me
tight with her strong fingers and says, “Don’t cry. My eyes are big enough for the two of
us.”
 And she leads my fingers to her eyes and says:
“Look Antonio:
Red is the color of the sky that when the day and the night meet.
Blue is the color of the sea where the cold fishes play.
Yellow is the color of the sun that makes your cheeks burn, that dries
your tears, the same color as the mango that makes your lips sticky and your
tongue happy.
Green is the color of the leaves that whisper when the wind blows.
And the wind that makes us laugh, that moves our hair, that makes our
clothes fly, not even I can see.
See?”
And I laugh to hear funny colors, and soon I forget that I am blind and
that she lives in another world.
This is my friend Francisca who is more important to me than having
my own eyes.
3. Comprehension check up

cartolina while the rest of the group members guess what that mood is. Each

 QUARTER 3
WEEK 5 (Day 3)

Learning Objective:

• Infer the meaning of unfamiliar words (compound, affixed) based

on given context clues (synonyms - antonyms word parts) and
other strategies (Mathematics)
• Observe politeness at all times

1. Ask a pupil to read a short paragraph presented before them.

One Sunday afternoon, Julian the baker is busy making cupcakes and
cooking pancakes. Celano, his helper is busy packing applesauce and strawberry
jam. They will bring these to Chinatown where anybody can buy anytime.

2. Comprehension check up

cupcakes - cakes shapes like cups
pancakes - cake fried on a pan

B. Explaining the students what to do

Tell the pupils that they are going to read a story entitled “Turtle
Tale”. Remind the pupils to follow the standards for listening. As they
listen to the story find out the answer to this question:

How did Paeng guide the newly hatched sea turtles to the sea?
 Turtle Tale

Paeng and Delia loved to play in the beach so much that they would often forget the
time. When the sun had set, Paeng would remember that their mother would like them to be
home before dark.
One day, Delia saw some prints in the sand that led into the ocean.
“Paeng! Come look at these. I wonder what animal made these prints,” she cried
“I know. I saw the same kind of tracks two years ago. They’re turtle tracks. A turtle
came to this beach and laid her eggs. Then I guess she went right back into the ocean,”
Paeng replied. “Let’s follow the tracks and look for the nest.”
So they followed the tracks until they came upon the turtle’s nest.
“Where are the eggs?” asked Delia.
“The mother turtle must have covered them with sand to keep the eggs warm,” replied
Paeng.
 They would have continued with their investigation but it was getting dark.
Paeng did not want their mother to worry. So Paeng and Delia raced each other
and headed for the light that shone on their porch.
Several weeks passed. One night after supper, Paeng and Delia went outside.
They were so surprised at the sight that greeted them in the yard.
“Mama! Mama!” cried Paeng and Delia.
Their mother quickly ran out to the porch to see what was happening.
Paeng’s light shone on dozens and dozens of tiny crawling sea turtles.
“Where did these sea turtles come from?” their mother asked.
Delia remembered the turtle nest. “Mama, we saw a turtle nest several weeks
back. Maybe these turtles came from the nest,” she said.
“But why are they here? After they hatch, the sea turtles head towards the
light. On beaches where people do not live, the brightest area would be the waves
reflecting the light of the moon and the stars. So the turtles followed the house
lights. We can help the turtles find their way to the sea if we turn off the lights at
night as soon as we finish our chores.”
 “It’s a good thing we saw these sea turtles. If they continued crawling
away from the sea, they would have been eaten by crabs and other
animals.
If they do not reach the sea, they would die from loss of water in their
bodies. Come on, let’s guide the turtle to the sea,” continued mother.
Paeng got a lamp and to his delight the sea turtles followed the light
of the lamp. When they reached the shore, Paeng waded to the sea and
held the lamp.
Before long, the small sea turtles scrambled into the water. They
raced in the waves to begin their life in the sea.

(Lifted from Science and Mathematics stories, Vol. 1)

3. Comprehension check up

c. What does their mother want them to do at sun down?

or a person. The cause answers the question why or
what caused it or what the reason was.
C. Modeling for students
Here are some sentences taken from our story. Let’s read them.

 They loved to play in the beach so much that they would often forget the
time.
 The mother turtle must have covered them with sand to keep the eggs
warm.
 But house lights shine much brighter than the moon and the stars so, the
turtles followed the house lights.
 If they do not reach the sea as soon as they hatch, they could die from
loss of water from their body.
 Let the children tell which part of each sentence is the cause and which
part is the effect.

 The pupils will show off their flags. The red flag signifies Cause and the white
flag signifies Effect. The teacher will read some sentences. If the first part of the
sentence is a Cause the pupil will raise his/her red flag, if the second part is the
Effect the pupil will raise his/her white flag.

Analyzing Cause and Effect
Read the passage and perform the activity after that follows.

From 1943 to 1952, scientists observed the formation of the

volcano Paricutin. In February 1943, there was much underground
activity near the village of Paricutin, Mexico. It caused many small
Earth tremors that worried the villagers. On February 20, Dionisio and
Paulo Pulido noticed smoke rising from a small hole in their cornfield
near the village. The hole had been there as long as the farmer and his
wife could remember. That night hot rock fragments spewing from the
hole looked like fireworks. By morning, the fragments had piled up into
a cone about 40 meters high. Within two years it was more than 400
meters high. Ash from the volcano burned and covered the village.
After nine years, the volcanic activity stopped.
1. Copy the phrase that shows the cause of tremors near Paricutin.
