*Students will listen as the teacher reads aloud, stopping to make connections to their own life

and to ask or answer questions.

*Students will be able to recall experiences from their own life and use ideas from the read aloud

to create their own story.

Materials:

*Yellow file folder with students individual conference sheets and blank reading logs

*Today is Monday by Eric Carle

*Calendars

*Cookie's Week Worksheets

Morning Routine:

*Empty Homework Folders

*Put their 2 books back in their baskets

*Pick 1 new leveled book and 1 old book

*Write the titles onto reading log and go sit down on crate for mini lesson

Introduction:

* Remember when we started Cookie's Week we talked about reading the title and looking at the

picture to make a prediction about what the book would be about. Besides getting ready to read a book

we can get ready to read a page.

Lesson Development:

Reading

*We can get ready to read a page by looking at the pictures carefully. You can think about who is in the

story and what is happening to get you ready to read the words.

***Think aloud as you look at pictures and include vocabulary that you think might be on the

page

*Demo with book Today is Monday

*Students sit on crates in specific reading spot. Practice doing a picture walk and looking at the pictures

to help figure out what book is about. Practice one-on-one with teachers.

Writing

*Days of the Week Song

*Finish Calendars --go over "Today is" and "Tomorrow is"

*Every one of you can be an author and as a class we have already written two books together. In order

to write a story we get a picture in our minds and then sketch the story on paper.

**Model thinking, sketching, then writing.

*Brainstorm with students what Cookie could have done on Sunday "On Sunday, I think Cookie will...."

come up with ideas as a class and then students will come up with something to write about on their

own. Once you come up with a really good idea you stop and put it on paper in words and pictures.

Students can finish tomorrow if we do not have enough time.

Conclusion/Assessment

Formative Assessment Reading

*one-on-one reading with teacher using Columbia sheets to write notes down

Formative Assessment Writing

*I will know if the students have learned if they are able to create their own story about Cookie

after brainstorming ideas. It will help me to learn the students though process and if they need

prompting for writing in the future.
