their birthday is on, do that number of jumps

January, so I am going to do 11 jumps!
Transition:

Set Induction:

swatter game, or heard of it?
- What class have you played it in?
- Well today we are going to practice our
vocabulary words that we have been working
on this week, through a fun game called the fly
swatter game.
Learnable Piece:
- Today you are going to continue to work with
this weeks vocabulary words, by identifying
the word, using it correctly in a sentence, and
part the speech
- The two parts of speech that we are working on
this week are nouns and adjectives
- Lets review:
Noun: person, place, or thing
Adjective: describing words

Transition:
- Number off the students 1 and 2, to create two
teams

the twos on this side, and line up in a single file

As soon as you find your group and form a line,

raise your hand so I know youre ready
- The first person in each line gets the fly
swatter/pointer
- Explain that I will first call out a movement, and
then us one of the words in a sentence. The
person with the fly swatter must do that
movement to the board and find the correct
word. The first person to find the word, and say
the correct part of speech wins. If you get the
part of speech wrong, the other team has a
chance to steal.
