Holy Macaroni BATMAN!

 

 

I took in a lot of information today at the REACH 3 common core training today in Norman, OK.  While I continue to process it... did you guys know there is a site called UTAH TEXT TALK made by reading first educators that lists 101 book with tiered vocabulary lessons...OH MY WORD.  The first lesson is for A Bad Case of the Stripes.

Here is an a partial example developed by Elizabeth Moore

Potential Tier 2 words in the text:

fretting   impress  relieved  extraordinary drowsiness  disaster contagious

Step 1: Doing the read aloud of the text with a focus on comprehension.

Read aloud page 1. Show the illustration. Ask the children, “Have you ever been

worried about what other people would think of you?” (fretting)

Read aloud page 2. Ask the children, “What is Camilla’s problem?” Then show the

illustration on page 3.

Read aloud page 4 and show the illustration on page 5.

Read aloud page 6. Show the illustration on pages 67.

Ask the children, “Can you

predict what made Camilla’s stripes change?” “What do you think the other children

will say?”

Read aloud page 8. Ask the children, “Does this confirm our prediction of why

Camilla’s stripes change?” Show the illustration on page 9. Ask, “How does Camilla

feel about all of this?”

Read aloud the first paragraph on page 10. Show the illustration on page 11. Ask the

children, “Why are the other parents afraid to have Camilla around their children?”

“Have you ever gotten sick because of someone else?” (contagious)

ANYWAY I THINK you should check it out.  More to come on my trip this day later.

Well I have been busy, finishing up the 2nd grade version of my academic vocabulary units.

I base these vocabulary units on the Oklahoma State Department of Educations Academic Vocabulary

This is a 25 page unit with illustration worksheet, academic vocabulary notebook templates, five in a row, matching definitions to words (with BOOM!) cards to play, and matching antonyms and synonyms..

Here is the next version of Academic Vocabulary - 2nd Grade - Language Arts

You can find it here on my TpT store.  I hope you enjoy.

Common Core - Speech Therapy

Hey everybody, I've been busy studying ways to relate speech therapy to common core standards in the school setting.

I created this activity to help students "distinguish shades of meaning among verbs, adjectives, and states of mind or degrees of certainty."  It also can be used to  demonstrate understanding of words by relating them to their opposites (antonyms) and to words with similar but not identical meanings (synonyms).

Language Standards k.5.d, 1.5.d, 2.5.b, 3.5.c, 4.5.c, 5.5.c
