*After announcements take roll and send it to the office. I always send it to the office with Atzy. Then take lunch count and put the number of classroom trays needed on a post it on the outside of the classroom door. Shared Reading 8:00-8:20 Read the poem “Five green and speckled frogs”. Read it once out loud with them. Then pass out the little cards paper clipped together to random students. Have them find the words that match the sounds in the poems. Then go over the alphabet chart and blends chart with the class. They do this every morning so they know how to say them. Do not let students get ahead of each other make sure that they read them together! Then go over all the sight words on the note cards on the document camera. Flip them
* Read an alphabet book. Ask children to point to the letters and say their names after you.
Another activity that I took part in was bubble painting. This was where I put paint in a tray and added water. Once this was mixed properly I got the children to use a straw and blow through it to make bubbles. Once the bubbles were there a piece of paper was placed over them to create a bubble effect picture. There were two different trays of which one was purple and the other one was orange. This is so that they were able to make their own choice on what colour they wanted to use.
For session three I read Walker the story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. This story is one of my favorites and he really enjoyed it. It is about a little girl who does not have the confidence that she can paint. Once she overcomes it and starts painting her paintings are placed in an art museum. I thought this story could give Walker the encouragement he needed. After reading the story I gave Walker cut out lo-go’s of McDonald’s, Ward’s, John Deere, Ramey’s, Dollar General and Wal-Mart. Walker was able to read them all except Wal-Mart. He was so excited to read them to his mom whenever she came to pick him up. Teachers can use environmental print to relate the pictures to the letters they begin with. The McDonald’s logo can be used to teach
poem it says, “…and looking down into…” as if to say that the Bin Men
Explain to students how to play Jenga (i.e. when it is your turn you must pull out one of the wooden Jenga blocks and try not to knock the tower over. After you have successfully removed the block you place it on the top of the tower.)
“ The Road Not Taken” and “ Stopping By Wood On a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost, is made up of four stanzas and each line has between eight and ten syllables in a roughly iambic rhythm. These two proems were published seven years apart, and in both poems the speaker was trying to choose between different paths in a wood, and he used those roads as a metaphor for choosing between different changes in life. Yet, both poems seems look like simple and easy, it has been the subject to very different explanation of how the speaker feels about his situation, and how the reader can understand the speaker better. Moreover, Robert Frost indicated “The Road Not taken” as of choosing different paths in life and “Stopping By Wood On a Snowy Evening” indicated
During week 4 (November 9th) A.Q and I played a matching rhyming words games. Another child name L.B. joined us. A.Q. and L.B took turns matching the rhyming words and reading them a loud. Then, I had both students write sentences using rhyming words. One sentence A.Q. wrote was, “The box is in the box.” While, L.B wrote “A mouse live in the house.” Then, the students took turn reading their sentences a loud and they told me which word rhymed with which. I enjoyed the student being independent and sharing their thinking. (see binder).
You can also include elements from around the classroom, like tables, chairs, yardsticks, string, etc. To make the project more interesting, I sometimes acquire refrigerator-sized cardboard boxes and duct tape them to the floor of the classroom. Turn your class into an amusement park!
Poems come in all different emotions, lengths, and arguments, just like John Donne’s poems, “Death Be Not Proud” and “The Flea”. The way that John creates his poems is very creative, he has a way that will make the reader second think what his lines really mean. Johns arguments will most likely always win, it is as if he plays mind games with the people in his poem, I would say he is convincing. The two poems that I read “The Flea”, and “Death Be Not Proud” both have very distinctive arguments and emotions which makes both poems unique. “Death Be Not Proud” John makes the speaker seem tough, brave, and not scared of what “death” might bring. In the poem “The Flea” the speaker is pictured as a beggar,
Entry Event: Have everyone in the class take their height measurements (or guesstimate depending on time). . And ask, “If you are under 4’11 sit down, if you are under 5’1, sit down…” and so forth to a height that is relatively tall. The last person standing should be over six feet tall, if no one is, everyone lost. Restart the game and ask, “If you are over six feet sit down…” and so forth until the height of 5 feet on the dot. If they are five feet or shorter, than they have won this round. This shows adaption through traits that the students already have, such as height. Then, begin to talk about adaptations. This unit would be fun and enjoyable to do because the involvement of fossils, abstract thinking, and learning about the natural world.
Both poems say that you should make the best out of life, but each poem has a different reason. “Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now” says people need to live to the fullest and enjoy every moment, because they won’t get a second chance. “Spring and All” says that everyone was born with an equal chance, so they should make the best of it. Another difference between the two poems is “Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now” was written during the Romantic period, while Spring and All” was written during the Modern
Two poems that I could easily contrast against one another are Thomas Campion, “There Is A Garden In Her Face” and William Shakespeare, Sonnet 130. The two poems both discuss the topic of the poet's’ love interest; in contrary to one another, Shakespeare’s approach is more realistic, whereas, Campion’s approach may seem more pleasant to hear its ideas are unrealistic. Campion states, “There is a garden in her face,” to describe his love’s immeasurable beauty and glow. Throughout the remainder of his poem, Campion continuously expresses that his beloved has more beauty than those objects created by God in nature such as: flowers, pearls, and angels. Shakespeare expresses his affect for his romantic companion in a way that shows that all though
The text will be simplex enough for them to read, and teams will be set up to try and ensure that each team has a student that is reading some. Each student will give a page an illustration and they should go along with the other students.
While singing the songs, act out the emotions to help the children learn about them.
In my poetry comparison essay I have gone through a number of different changes throughout my essay. One of these changes I the manner of how I use language throughout my essay. For example, previously I used the lines such as “pilgrims and poetry readers are similar because of the trails they faced,” now, after revising my essay the same line reads as such, “Pilgrims and poetry readers share a similar bond as both at one point or another must face hardship.” Another example of something I changed in my revision of my poetry essay is the grammar I used. For example, one of the lines that I changed in my essay read as such, “when the pilgrims faced hardships, they simply had to tough it out.” The know revised line after some grammatical changes,
