You studied words like these already. What do you know about reading these words?

yes, when you see a by itself, it usually sounds like /a/.

Today we will learn about words that have the long a vowel sound.

This is an apron. The sound you hear at the beginning is /a/. Say it with me. /a/

The a in this word says its name. The e is silent. This is how I blend this word. Now do it with me.

MODEL WRITING FOR SOUNDS Each spelling word has long a with the CVCe spelling pattern. Before administering the spelling pretest, model how to segment long a words to spell them.What sounds do you hear in game? (/g/ /a / /m/) What is the letter for /g/? Write g. Continue with /a/ and /m/. What letter must we add to the end of the word to make a say its name? (e) Add e. In game the a has a long a sound and the e is silent: /g/ /a / /m/, game. There are four letters but only three sounds. Repeat with safe.

Build Background:Let's Talk About People in Communities

Tell me about what you see here. Yes, that's right, some children are looking at a computer. How are the two boys who are sharing a book learning together? What did the children in the play have to learn in order to perform? How can youtell that all of these photographs are scenes from school? Use today's Amazing Words, group, respect, and share.Which photographs show a small group of children? How are the children in front of the computer respecting the girl in control of the mouse? How can you tell the two boys are doing a good job sharing the book?

How do we learn together at school?

What can children share at school?

Where do you see children helping one another?

This week we will read a story about classmates. We will learn how some classmates work and learn together at school.

Listening Comprehension:

Teach/model Cause and Effect

DEFINE CAUSE AND EFFECTMost things happen for a reason. Good readers ask themselves what happens and why it happens. Words like because and so can help you figure out what happens and why

MODEL When I read, I think about what is happening and why it is happening.In this story, Jimmy is sleepy. I ask myself why he is sleepy. I remember thatthe story said Jimmy stayed up late the night before. Jimmy is sleepy becausehe stayed up late. Paying attention to why things happen helps me understand why characters in stories do the things they do.

Read "Jimmy's Lesson

CLUES TO CAUSE AND EFFECT Ask children to identify other examples of causeand effect. Why does Jimmy quickly drink his orange juice and gobble up his eggs?(Because he is running late.) What happens when Jimmy looks in his backpack? (He sees that he has forgotten his things.) Why did Jimmy forget his things? (Because he was in a hurry to leave.)RECOGNIZE CAUSE AND EFFECT Recall the story A Big Fish for Max.Why does Max go to the park? (He wants to catch a big fish.) Why does Grandma go to the fish shop? (Because she wants to buy a fish for Max.) CONNECT TO READING Tell children that when they read any story, they should think about what happens and why it happens

Shared Writing: An invitation

COMPREHENSION SKILL Remind children that oftenone thing that happens causes another thing tohappen. Discuss how children feel when theyreceive an invitation to a party. Then have them tellhow the invitation your class is going to write willcause someone to feel.

GENERATE IDEAS Ask children to think about an upcoming class event, such as a play or science project, and talk about how they are working on it together.Ask them who they might like to invite to see the event. WRITE AN INVITATION Explain that the class is going to write an invitation asking other people to come to a class event.

Display Writing Transparency 8 and read the title. Ask children to help you make a list of the informationyou need to put on the invitation on the board. Includewho you are sending it to, what the event is, andwhen and where the event will take place. Read the first line on the transparency and havechildren tell you what to fill in on the line. Ask children to use the information on the boardto help you complete the invitation

boy Jim

Grammar:

Develop the concept Proper Nouns

boy is a noun for a person. It is not capitalized. Jim is a noun for one certain person. It is capitalized. The special names of persons, places, animals, or things begin with a capital letter.

Some nouns name a special person, place, animal, or thing. These nouns are called proper nouns, and they begin with a capital letter. The word city tells about a place, but there are many cities. The word Chicago is the name of one particular city. Chicago is a proper noun and it begins with a capital letter

MODEL When I think about the people, places and things in our community, one place I always think about is school. Write school. What is the name of our school? Oneonta Elementary School. Because this is a name, every word should begin with a capital letter.

Speaking and Listening:

Dramatize a StoryDEMONSTRATE DRAMATIZING Recall and discuss the characters from A Big Fish for Max. Then improvise a monologue that's related to the story. You might have Ruby tell about Max's fishing trip. Max went fishing in the pond. He caught a ball, a ship, and a shell, but no fish. I helped Max by calling the fish, but still no fish bit.

As you dramatize a character, model these behaviors:Speak in character. Use correct sequence. Use correct tone, volume, and expression. Use facial expressions and gestures.

DRAMATIZE A STORY Have groups of children choose a page from A Big Fish for Max to act out. Suggest they act out the page more than once, so they can take turns playing different parts. Then have groups present their plays to the class. Remind them of the behaviors you modeled.

Have children read each sentence aloud with you. To encourage discussion using the selection words, ask children what they might find on a gerbil farm. Then write play on the board. Have children tell the meanings they know for the word.
