Listen while I read this poem, and then we will
read it together
Problems, fussing, lots of trouble.
Sometimes it seems we’ve all got double,
And we’re in a lonesome bubble,
And we don’t know what to do.
But if I help you and you help me,
We might just set our trouble free.
The story can end happily
For the whole contented crew.
Question of the Week:
How can we work together to solve
problems?

Phonemic Awareness
Let’s look at page 316-317 in your Reading book
We see a beach of an ocean bay. The sound /a/ is at the
end of the word bay; /b/ /a/.
Pail has the sounds /p/ /a/ /l/. Let’s change /l/ in pail to
/n/: /p/ /a/ /n/, pain.
Snake has the sounds /sn/ /a/ /k/.
Phonics: Vowel patterns a, ai, ay
Today we will learn how to spell and read words
with the long a sound spelled a, ai, and ay.
snail
hay
paper
Sound spelling cards – interactive path
Phonics: Vowel patterns a, ai, ay
You can blend a longer word like ‘basic’ if you
divide it into syllables.
When a word has a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern
and you divide it after the first vowel, that vowel
often has a long sound.
In this word, ba is the first syllable, and a has the
long a sound.

these stories are folk tales. They also both have animal
characters, and in both a smaller animal tricks a bigger
one.
 Then I look for differences. “Coyote and the Mice” is a
Native American folk tale, and “The Ungrateful Tiger” is a
Korean folk tale.
Text-Based Comprehension
 When we tell how things are alike, we compare.
 When we tell how things are different, we contrast.

Text-Based Comprehension
 A folk tale is a story that was told long ago and passed along
orally. It often has a pattern of events, repeated words, and a
lesson about life.
 Good readers use the text and what they know to
figure out more than what is stated, or to infer.
Text-Based Comprehension
 Turn to page EI20 in your reading book.

inference using clues in the picture. As I read One Good Turn

Research and Inquiry
Research Skill: Reading a Web Page
We can use a Web page to find information on the Internet, a large
computer network with links to information around the world.
The URL at the top of a Web page is the address for the Web site, a
place on the Internet with a set of pages we can read on a
computer.
If I type a word into the search box, the computer will search this
site for information about my word.
I use the scroll bar to move down or back up so I can read all the
text, or words, on the page.
There are usually links to other Web pages that have more
information. If I click on one of the links, I move to another Web
page.
