Week #1, Day #2 Warm-up Sentences: 1. the bear and the lion eat a small squirrel at the zoo 2. the intelligent zookeeper raises his hand when the animals should stop

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 #2 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: If you didn't get to this last week, review the ways to write a narrative paragraph. Outline the ways for students to use adjectives and give them a practice prompt. Remember, narrative is more show than tell, so just teach students this concept and see how they do with it. 4. Finish reading The Jay and the Peacocks (pages 343-346). Make sure students have made some connections with this story. 5. Have students practice their vocabulary knowledge from last week by telling them to open their textbooks to page 347 and having them copy each sentence from Review Key Vocabulary using the correct vocabulary word in each. 6. Any extra time should be used to address the narrative.
