Procedure:
Place two High-Five the Word words on
the classroom door before the school
day begins. They should be place near
the students eye level.
As the students walk by the door to enter
the classroom, they have to High-Five

As teacher greets the students by the
door, he/she will observe their interaction
with the words.
Teacher will observe whether the

Conclude the whole group lesson by
providing each student with a package
for 5 addition flash cards.
Have students work in pairs to predict
the sum, and write their prediction down

using various representations. Students
should discuss amongst themselves their
thinking that informed their estimation
(using math language previously
discussed in class---see math wall).
Once students have made their
prediction they should calculate the sum
of their equation.
Accommodations:
Flash cards with word representations (a
well as numerals, dots etc) are available
for those students who are having
difficulty printing to use to express
themselves
Students know that they can also refer to
the math word wall for assistance

Assessment:
Teacher can assess students oral
language to discern their knowledge of
mathematical language being explored in
the text.
Student predications can also be
assessed to understand student use of
prior knowledge and of the text in
determining their predictions
Student writing on the Whiteboards can
be quickly assessed to determine
student ability to represent their
predictions in various ways.

Procedure:
Pick a page on Knuffle Bunny and draw
students attention to the illustrations.
Ask if they notice something special
about the illustrations.
After a short whole group discussion,
point out that the illustrator uses two
different media (actual photos in the
background and cartoon drawings).
Draw their attention to the photos in the
background. Ask them questions like
what do you see in the photos?, do
you see places like these in our
neighbourhood?, what city do you think
this is?, and have you ever been to
places like these?
Write Places in Our Neighbourhood on
the top of the whiteboard and ask the
following question: If we are to make a
story book that happens in our
neighbourhood, where should we go to
take pictures? Take 2-3 answers and
write them down.
Select one place (ex. school) and write
down one sentence describing the
reason why this place is significant. (ex. I
like going to school because I can play
with my friends.)
Add one more sentence about its
direction. (ex. From home, I have to go
straight to go to school.)
Make a list of directional vocabulary with
students. (Refer to Appendix H) Make
sure to give examples of sentences that
use those words.
After the whole group discussion, provide
groups of 2-3 students with a small piece
of paper on a clipboard. Ask them to
think of at least 5 more places in their
neighbourhood and write them down.
Encourage students to utilize dictionaries

and computers to find words.
Once they have at least 5 places written
down, provide individual students with
My Favourite Places template (refer to
Appendix F). They will pick 3 favourite
places and write down their answers.
Encourage students to use descriptive
and directional words.
Accommodations:

Online translators will be provided for
students who need extra support with
English language.
Teacher will write some words and
sentences for students who have

Jack has 2 blocks (have the

the teacher choose 2 blocks from
the basket). He makes a house
(have the next student come and
build a house using the 2 blocks
that the previous student
choose). Subsequently move
onto the next student.
Continue until you have reached the end
of the story. Highlight to students how we
can use the Jack the Builder text to help
us practice counting on and making
predictions.
Explain that the text will be available
during Math Centres for students to

Briefly introduce the Roll a Building game
as a subsequent activity that students
can play during Math Centers based off
the text.
Explain the game:
2 players take turns rolling dice
and adding the number of foam
blocks that they roll to the existing
pile. Each time they roll students
should reconstruct their pile of
foam blocks to build something
new by adding onto the existing
pile. Students should record the
values that they roll and calculate
the sum that ensues after each
roll.
Choose a students to help model the
activity, then ask if there are any
questions. Dismiss students to Math
Centres for the latter half of the Math
period.
The available centers for today are:

they have any math work that they would
like to share. Choose five students to

variety of work: some math stories/math
fables; some theories/strategies; new
math game ideas etc).

Materials:
Youtube Video: Carmen Campagne: Pas
Capable de Tirer Ma Vache
Procedure:
Have students gather on the carpet
around the Smart Board.
Introduce the sound of the week: ch.
Have students suggest words that have
the sound ch, and compile a ch list.
Model how we make the sound.
Next introduce the song: Pas Capable de
Tirer ma Vache. Have students use
highlighter tape to highlight the ch
sound in the text. Using a pointer to
touch under words modelling how to read
through the song.
Have students join in on the reading,
having them read alternate words, and
subsequently lines. Also choose a
student to touch under the words as the
class reads.
Next, have students listen to the song
being performed by Carmen Campagne.
Students may want to listen to the song a
couple of times. Ask students about
Carmen Campagnes voice each time
she sings a verse.
How does her voice change? Her
face expressions? How does it
sound? How does it make you
feel? Does it change how we
understand the song? Have
students work in groups of three
and practice performing the song
in their own way.
Encourage them to use actions to act out
the song to help convey its meaning.
Once students have prepared their
performance piece, have students
perform their interpretation of the song.
Assessment:
Observe as students suggest words that
start with ch. What words do they
suggest?
Assess student performance: Do they
demonstrate understanding of the song
through their actions? Do they express
themselves using appropriate
pronunciation? Can they communicate

ideas effectively?

earlier during the week. Students
will refer to the book and practice
estimating the sum of different

Roll-a-Building: Based on the
book read earlier in the week,
students will take turns rolling
dice and using the number they
rolled to construct a building
together. They will record what
the rolled, and keep track of the
sum of the blocks in their building
after each roll.

Materials:
Diary of a Worm book by Doreen Cronin
and Harry Bliss
Magnifying glass
Pencils
Paper
Clipboard
Flashlight
Procedure:
Beginning by praising students for the
wonderful discoveries that they have
been making at the various learning
centers. Remind them that as Scientists,
it is not only important to make great
discoveries but also to document their
discoveries. Ask students for different
ideas as to how they can document their
discoveries.
Explain that students need to write down
their observations being mindful of the
perspective that they are writing from.
Introduce the text Diary of a Worm, and
ask students to consider whose
perspective the story is being written
from and how does that affect their

understanding of the text as we read
through the text. Highlight that the story
is the Diary of a worm, what is a diary?
What type of information might we find in
a diary? Take 2-3 suggestions from
students.
Read the text
Once the story is complete, explain to
students that they will have their own
opportunity to be scientists and practice
making make observations. They will be
going outside to observe and document
interesting things in nature (i.e. plants,
worms leaves etc).
Have students put on their outdoor
clothes, and then proceed out to the
primary yard. Once outside have
students sit along the bench near the
sandbox. Assign students their pairs and
present them with the materials they will
be using to make their observations.
At 2:25 have students put the materials
away in the outdoor materials bin, and
collect their writing samples as we will be
revisiting their work during science next
week.
Once students have put the materials
away they are to remain outside for
recess at 2:30
Assessment:
Review student work that was collected to see
what for of writing they choose to express their
observations.
Also review work to see what writing
conventions are being used (are they
remembering capitals at the beginning of the
sentence, punctuation at the end etc)
As students work, walk around with ipad and
take pictures/record observations using mental
note.
