Unit 2
Workbook
This Workbook contains worksheets that accompany the lessons from the Teacher
Guide for Unit 2. Each worksheet is identified by its page number. Some of the
worksheets in this book do not include written instructions for the student because the
instructions would have contained undecodable words. The expectation is teachers will
explain these worksheets to students orally using the guidelines in the Teacher Guide.
The Workbook is a student component, which means each student should have a
Workbook.

Dear Family Member,
This week during our language arts time, we will begin to explore
the writing process with students. Students will learn to plan, draft,
and edit their work before creating a final product. We will not
publish each piece of writing that we create. From time to time, we
will select pieces to publish. In the meantime, you will see writing
coming home in backpacks. Ask your child to explain the process to you. At home,
you can help by suggesting your child write simple notes for you.
Your child will only be tested on the words in the third column marked Spelling
Word. Please note that for these words, the final e is dropped and replaced with -ing.

Dear Family Member,
These are our spelling words for this week. The spellings words
on which your child will be tested are the contractions listed in
the second column, plus the one Tricky Word. When practicing
spelling contractions this week with your child, please also review
the two words that form the contraction. For example, oneway
to practice would be to say two words, e.g., it is, and then ask your child to write the
contraction, e.g., its.
Your child is also bringing home a story to read, How the Hedgehog Tricked
the Hare, and an accompanying worksheet. We have been discussing in class the
characters, setting, and plot for each story. After reading the story, your child will
complete a worksheet and identify the characters, setting, and plot. You can encourage
your child to look back at the story to find the answers. This worksheet will be used
to help your child write a book report about the story, so please make sure your
child completes and bring this homework back to school tomorrow.

The pancake shouted, Ive outrun a mom, six kids, two farmers, and
a pig, and I can outrun you too! I am too fast and too smart for you.
You think so? said the hen. Then she set off, clucking as she ran.
The hen chased the pancake. But the pancake was too fast.
The pancake went on until, by and by, he ran past a fox.
Why are you running, pancake? the fox asked.
The pancake said, Ive outrun a mom, six kids, two farmers, a pig,
and a hen, and I can outrun you too! I am too fast and too smart for
you!
The fox did not get up. He just sat there and said, What was that
you said? I could not quite make it out.
The pancake stopped running and yelled, Ive outrun a mom, six
kids, two farmers, a pig, and a hen, and I can outrun you too! I am
too fast and too smart for you!
The fox squinted and said, What was that you said? I still could not
quite hear you. Why do you stand so far off? Stand nearer to me so I can
hear you.
The pancake ran up near to the fox. Then he shouted at the top of
his lungs: IVE OUTRUN A MOM, SIX KIDS, TWO FARMERS, A
PIG, AND A HEN, AND I CAN OUTRUN YOU TOO! I AM TOO
FAST AND TOO SMART FOR YOU!
You think so? said the fox. I think you made a
mistake and got a bit too close. Then he scooped the
pancake into his mouth and ate it for dinner.
And that was the end of the pancake. And that is the
end of the tale.

I am a clever one, said the fox. There are lots of beasts out
there that would like to eat me, but they cant catch me. I have lots
of tricks that help me escape from them. I can run. I can swim. I can
dig a hole and hide. Why, I must have a hundred clever tricks!
I have just one trick, said the cat. But it is a good one.
