L-Blends Kindergarten – 1st Grade Blends & Digraphs
Kim's Blocks

Kim had a stack of black blocks. A slim flag sat on top, but it did slip. "This will not stand," she said.

Kim had a plan. She got a flat pad and a small clip. She slid the flat pad on the last block. It sat still.

Then she set the clip on the top block and slid the flag in it. The flag did not slip!

"Yes!" said Kim. Kim was so glad. She did a clap for her grand block stack. It was the best stack she had.
