ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House ???? Kids Read Aloud: APART TOGETHER: A BOOK ABOUT TRANSFORMATION Cause & Effect by Sweeney & Rutland
Hi there! I’m Annie, and I’m so happy we get to read a story together. Do you like putting things together? Sometimes, when we do, magical things can happen! Let’s find out what happens when we read “Apart Together.” If you have the book, go grab it so you can read along with me.
The book is called “Apart Together: A Book About Transformation,” written by Linda Booth Sweeny and illustrated by Ariel Rutland. When you open a book, the first few pages are called the end papers. In this book, the end papers have colorful balls of yarn and knitting needles. Let’s remember this page and see what these things turn into by the end of the book.
Blue is blue, and yellow is yellow, but when you put them together, they make green! Isn’t that amazing? When you mix a seed with soil, sun, and water, you get beans. Bees and flowers work together to make honey. Flour, eggs, and sugar can turn into something yummy like a cake!
Bricks and blocks are just bricks and blocks, but when you put them together, they can build tall buildings. Players kicking a ball alone is fun, but when they play together, they can score goals! Soap, hands, and water make foamy bubbles. Twigs, feathers, and love can create a cozy home for birds.
Now, let’s look at the end papers again. Do you remember what we saw at the beginning? The knitting needles and colorful balls of yarn turned into a beautiful scarf! Isn’t that cool?
Are you ready for a fun challenge? Start looking around for other things that become something new when you put them together. I can’t wait to see what you discover!
I hope you enjoyed our story today. See you next time for more reading fun!
Color Mixing Experiment: Let’s explore how colors change when mixed together! Gather some watercolors or food coloring in primary colors (red, blue, yellow). Use a palette or small cups to mix two colors at a time. What new colors do you create? Try mixing all three colors together. Can you make green, orange, or purple? Discuss with your friends or family what happens when colors come together.
Build a Mini Structure: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to create a small structure. Start by building something simple like a wall or a tower. Then, work with a friend to combine your structures into something bigger, like a house or a bridge. Talk about how combining your pieces made something new and exciting. What did you learn about working together?
Nature Observation Walk: Go on a walk outside with an adult and look for examples of things that work together in nature. Can you find a flower with a bee on it? Or a tree with a bird’s nest? Take a notebook and draw or write about what you see. Discuss how these things work together to create something special, like honey or a home for birds.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Woohoo! A part together: a book about transformation, written by Linda Booth Sweeny and illustrated by Ariel Rutland. Do you know that when you open a book, the inside of the cover and the next few pages are called the end papers? These are the end papers at the beginning of this book. What do you see? I see colorful balls of yarn and knitting needles. Remember this page, and let’s see what these things turn into at the end of the book.
A part: blue is blue, and yellow is yellow, but together they make green. Seed and soil, sun and water together make beans. Bees and flowers can make honey. Flour, eggs, and sugar can be yummy. A part: bricks and blocks are bricks and blocks, but together they soar. A part: players kick a ball, but together they score. Soap, hands, and water can become foam. Twigs, feathers, and love together make a home.
These are the end papers at the end of the book. Do you remember what we saw at the beginning? What did the knitting needles turn the colorful balls of yarn into? That’s right—a colorful scarf! Are you ready for a challenge? Start looking for other things that become something new when you combine them together. I can’t wait to see what you discover!
