Determine the uses of nouns and verbs and be able to write sentences using these words. Learn a new reading strategy and apply it to a story.

Week #1, Day #1 Warm-up Sentences: (write on the white board as is and have students correct raising their hands and giving you the answers) 1. the boy and girl walk to school on mondays and tuesdays only 2. the mother brings cara a drink on saturday (This is to make sure students understand and can recognize capital letters and periods at the beginning and end of sentences. Believe it or not, a lot of students still have trouble with this, so it is good to reinforce it.)

Today's Agenda:
1. 2 Sentence Warm-up. (Write 2 sentences on the board and teach students that each day they will come in and copy the sentences, then correct any mistakes. They will need to hand in these papers at the end of each week. 2. Pass out Vocabulary List #1 to students and read each word to them while they listen to the sound of each word. Have students repeat the word and spelling of each word. Have students translate these words and discuss the meanings of each using simple words that students can remember. In other words, do a word association with students so they can equate the vocabulary word with a word they already know. 3. Grammar Work: Have students take notes on what a noun and a verb is and the difference between these two words. Show some examples on the board and have students make up their own examples. If time, have students write 10 sentences using at least 2 nouns and 1 verb and then they should label those words in each sentence. 4. Begin Unit 5 of The Edge Fundamentals. Follow the procedure in the textbook to preread and get the students excited about this particular unit. Discuss the essential question with students and possibly think/pair/share some answers to this question. You could have students free write for a few miuntes and then share the answers.
