Review the meanings/spellings of 8 different vocabulary words.
Review narrative and practice writing. Determine how to make connections using a given text.

On Wednesday or Thursday, have some type of real formative assessment for students so you can really see the progress they have made.

Week #1, Day #2 Warm-up Sentences: 1. him and me are going to the library to check out the book the boxcar children 2. the plane is gonna be late it wont arrive until 1206

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 and underline nouns, circle verbs and put a box around any adjectives. 2. Students should take out Vocabulary List #3 and you should read each word to them while they listen to the sound of each word. Have students repeat the word and spelling of each word. Today, students will make flashcards using the ten different vocabulary words. Review the words students used to associate each vocab word with another word and possibly use these for the flashcards. Students can also write the vocab word on one side and draw a picture of the word on another side. Spend 5 minutes reviewing in partners. 3. Formative Assessment Practice: Same as yesterday. Keep practicing with students using any means necessary. 4. Finish reading the story on pages 381-387. Make sure students have made some connections with this story. 5. Address the next page, 388 and go through this concept with students.
