Activities
Spelling: (SP) Incorporate phonemic awareness training in spelling dictation. Continuously review 70 phonograms. Read (say) 30 of 70 phonograms daily (OPR). Say/write 20 of 70 phonograms daily (WPR). Analyze/evaluate handwriting for straight lines that begin at the midpoint and extend the same distance below the baseline. (HFV) Read, segment, write, blend, and explain syllable division, pronunciation, spelling, & markings for section O in the spelling lists eight - whether. Explain a syllable that ends in one or more consonants is a closed syllable type, vowels usually say the first sound when followed by consonants. Explain/Analyze/Apply concepts of syllabication, pronunciation, spelling, markings, rules, and/or syllable type of example words. Explain after c we use ei. If we say a, we use ei. In the list of exceptions, we use ei. In all other words, the phonogram ie is used. Explain words are usually divided between double consonants within a base word. Reading: (TS) Explain the authors purpose and the elements of informative-narratives. Listen to informative-narrative text structure using The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry; identify (on an informative-narrative organizer) the authors purpose, the narrative and informative elements, and the point of view; cite evidence to support thinking; use completed organizer to retell information that supports the topic. Listen to informative text structure using Hurricanes by Gail Gibbons; identify (on an informative organizer) authors purpose, basic elements of the type of writing, and point of view; identify and use text features to locate key facts. Listen to a narrative text structure using Elmer by david McKee; identify (on a narrative organizer) authors purpose, basic elements of the type of writing and point of view. Listen to informative text structure using Sea Turtles by Julie Murray; identify (on an informative organizer) authors purpose, basic elements of the type of writing, and point of view; identify and use text features to locate facts. Explain that one type of narrative is a fable; explain that a favle includes a moral or message usually delivered by animal characters. Listen to a narrative text structure in a fable using Fox Tales: Four Fables from Aesop by Amy Lowry; identify (on a narrative organizer) authors purpose, basic elements of the type of writing, and point of view; identify moral of the fable. (LA/F) Read Sarah, Plain, & Tall by Patricia MacLachlan aloud daily to demonstrate fluent and expressive reading; identify examples of precise language (word choice) and emotional appeal; identify and describe the plot (sequence of events) including key details. Explain main characters are fully described their appearance, speech, actions, thoughts through what others in the story or the author says about them. Describe Sarah as a main character in Sarah, Plain & Tall; cite evidence from the story. Explain an integral setting; identify in the story and cite evidence to support thinking. Explain that what a main character says and does in a story helps the reader understand there are rewards and consequences for different behaviors (insight). Listen to excerpts of Fox Tales: Four Fables from Aesop; explain how the authors use of insight into foxs character adds enjoyment or understanding; identify examples from the text.

Writing: Compose oral/written sentences that demonstrate usage and meaning of unfamiliar words using a variety of the four types of simple sentences (Declarative, Interrogative, Exclamatory, Imperative). Explain words ending with a silent final e are written without the e when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel; read sentence patterns that use helping verbs. Explain a conjunction may connect compound nouns and adverbs; identify conjunctions in

comprehension. W.3.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly. W.3.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences. W.3.4 With guidance and support from adults, produce writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task and purpose. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above) W.3.5 With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 3 on pages 28 and 29.) W.3.6 With guidance and support from adults, use technology to produce and publish writing (using keyboarding skills) as well as to interact and collaborate with others. W.3.10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of disciplinespecific tasks, purposes, and audiences. Math: OA.3.1 Interpret products of whole numbers. 3.5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. 3.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities. 3.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. Mathematical Practices 1-8. By Unit Science & Social Studies (Each is taught 2 afternoons per week): 3 Weeks SS-P-G-U-1 Students will understand that the use of geographic tools (e.g., maps, globes, charts, graphs) and mental maps help to locate places, recognize patterns and identify geographic features.

sentences and identify nouns/verbs they connect; compose oral/written sentences using conjunctions to connect nouns or verbs. Alphabetize to the second letter; compose oral sentences that use any of these words. Explain that in writing, the author sees the story from a specific point of view; in a first-person narrative, the author participates in the story and uses pronouns known as first-person pronouns; compose oral/written sentences using first-person pronouns. Explain that in writing, the author sees the story from a specific point of view; in a third-person narrative, the author does not participate in the story but describes actions, thoughts, and feelings, and uses pronouns known as third-person pronouns; compose oral/written sentences using third-person pronouns. Explain a compound sentence is two independent sentences related to the same thought and joined with a connecting word (conjunction); compose oral/written sentences that use one to connect two independent sentences with a comma. Explain related sentences are about one topic; use the book Elmer by David McKee and the narrative organizer to write related sentences about a good time you had with someone. Explain persuasion is meant to change the way someone thinks or acts; identify and list on the board some of the animals and their reasons for persuading the man not to chop down the Kapok tree; use the book The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry; compose sentences that identify three reasons the animals gave that persuaded the man to leave the forest. Math: Lessons 7-8: Demonstrate the commutativity of multiplication and practice related facts by skip-counting objects in array models. Lesson 9: Find related multiplication facts by adding and subtracting equal groups in array models. Lesson 10: Model the distributive property with arrays to decompose units as a strategy to multiply.
