Language Arts
Topic: Oral Language Topic: Journal Writing Topic: Phonics & Spelling
SWBAT: Student will be able to share about their personal experiences in a group setting.
PLO: Gr. 1 - A1, Gr. 2 - A2
SWBAT: Student will be able to write in their journals about their personal experiences.
PLO: Gr. 1 – C1
SWBAT: Student will be able to work at their own pace and level in their Phonics folder. Students will continue home practice of spelling, and in-class testing.
Week One to Six Prompt - On the weekend I … Draw five name sticks and ask what the
student did on their weekend As a whole group we will sit on the carpet
in a circle Daily Oral Strategies: M - Sentence
Starters, T – Story Box or Picture Book prompts, W – Jig Quiz Cards, R – Poem/Songs, F – Sharing Circles
The teacher will select a prompt from the Sentence Starters such as:
When I first get up in the morning I … My favourite animal is … because … The teacher will go around the circle and
have each student respond to the prompt starting with the special helper
Remind students that the activity is about listening and speaking mindfully
Students need to display eye contact, positive body language, and clear and audible speaking
The teacher will encourage students to think more reflectively, and share beyond simple responses
T – Picture Book Prompts – the teacher will show the cover and ask for predictions, connections, and inferences – the teacher will continue reading and stop at critical points for further feedback
Week One to Six Students will write from two choices -
either their weekend, or the second prompt shared in the oral language circle time
Mini-lessons are taught before-hand regarding writing conventions and powerful writing
Write a sentence full of convention errors on the whiteboard for students to fix as a whole group
Gr. 1 students must print at least one descriptive sentence before drawing what their sentence portrays
Gr. 2/3s must print at least three sentences, although at first do not give them a minimum number and allow them to free write
Encourage students to finish their writing before they begin any drawing
The teacher will circulate and provide assistance with conventions like: finger spaces, capital letters, punctuation, and spelling
If students are struggling to get started, the Think/Pair/Share strategy may help in each table group
Week One to Six Phonics levels are established based on
prior assessment Students will work independently and
quietly If students are off-task, the teacher may
separate talkative or disruptive students Teacher will circulate and provide
assistance where needed
Spelling - two parents and two teachers will work with individual students by reciting words for them to spell
The rainbow table will be used, and all phonics materials will be laid out
The remainder of the students will use their spelling list brought back from home and continue working with those words
Students may choose between five options: rhyming the words, growing the words, rewriting the words in different colours or Rainbow writing, practicing on whiteboards and checking one another’s work, and using magnetic letters on whiteboards
Home Reading A-Z – students will spend 15-20 minutes every day reading at home
Parents will initial the student’s reading record daily, and the teacher will also initial the record
W – Jig Quiz Cards – choose a card that has a random letter such as “c” – choose another card that has a requirement such as “colour” or “made of glass”
Students will name words meeting both criteria and the teacher will print them on the whiteboard
R – Poem/Songs – mainly animal poems, and songs from the Fine Arts Unit
Songs involve actions, creativity, expression Students will learn to trust their own voices
and experience acceptance by the class Students sing together, but opportunities
are created for individual sharing in call/response format, or volunteers for music games
F – Sharing Circles – students will bring an object to school according to a criteria the teacher chooses
For example students will bring an object starting with the same letter as the first letter in their name i.e. Billy and Ball
Example Two: students will bring an object they are grateful for
Additional Journal Writing On Friday two stuffed small animals (Cheery
and Gummy) are sent home by random selection with two students for the weekend
Students are encouraged to take Cheery or Gummy with them wherever they go i.e. piano lessons, park, bowling, going out for dinner
Students will write about where they took their animal and what they did at each location or activity in the journal book that travels with the animal in a large Ziploc
On Monday students will bring back the journal and animal and share in front of the class both orally and with pictures they may have taken
Students and parents in conjunction will decide if the reading was 1=easy, 2=medium, 3=hard
Students who are excelling have the option of reading books outside of the A-Z curriculum such as chapter books from the shelf
Materials: oral prompts, names on sticks, props if necessary, whiteboard, dry-erase markers

Using a variety of reading strategies before, during, and after reading and viewing to construct, monitor, and confirm meaning including predicting and making connections
SWBAT: Students will be able to use pre-reading strategies.
Whole Group – Sit on the carpet with “Chalk” by Bill Thomson (wordless picture book) Inferring is a very important skill to learn before reading a book You get to be a book detective and look for clues in the book to figure out what will happen Authors don’t tell you everything because they want you to figure it out yourself Express an emotion and ask students to infer what is happening – angry, sad, happy Why do you think that I am expressing that emotion Have students partner and take turns expressing an emotion – the partner has to figure out
the emotion and infer why the partner is feeling that way Gather back on the carpet to read Introduce Title, Author, and Genre Remind students that good readers infer what the story is about based on the title and the
picture on the cover Think/Pair/Share with a partner what you think the book is about by inferring information
from the cover – ask for some opinions Show the book slowly and stop at key point to ask what students infer will happen Write in your journals about one picture you saw in the book “Chalk”
Participation in inference activities, reading strategies, and T/P/S.

yourself without sending a picture (Refer to the “I like myself” picture or a mirror) Model the writing on the white board and continue to use oral strategies Describe yourself. Use name sticks for responses and write ideas on whiteboard How old are you, height, weight, colour of hair or eyes, and shoe size. Do like school? What is your favourite subject? Do you like sports or music? What do you like eating? Where do you live? (Needs of Humans) Describe yourself so that someone can imagine what you look like without seeing you Individual Work – in journals, do not draw illustrations until approved by teacher Gr. 1 students will focus on their physical appearance – 2 sentences minimum Gr. 2/3 students will also describe their interests – 4 sentences total Allow students to free write before giving a minimum requirement Gather together to share what students wrote to describe themselves

Whole Group – Sit on the carpet Do you remember what we learned about inferring last class? What was the picture book “Chalk” about? Do you think the book might have different
meanings to different students? Model careful observation of each page by looking for clues “On this page, there is no writing, but there is a lot going on in the picture. I see … “ What do you see on this page? What do you infer will happen? What was your clue? T/P/S and discuss what you think the book is about now after seeing the picture book
several times Have a student model careful observation of a page while up front Ask for some opinions – ask if their idea about the story changed
