When Do I Teach What?

• There are two main ways to incorporate the mini-lessons: – Teach the 30 lessons (PowerPoints) in sequence.– Use the formative assessments at the beginning,

middle, and end of the year. These are included. The first one may used to identify who needs help with specific skills. The second one may be used to progress monitor, and the third one may be used to evaluate student progress at the end of year.

Day 1-Review

A possessive noun shows ownership.• Add ‘s to make a singular noun possessive: a baby’s toy• Add an apostrophe after the s for the plurals

that end with s: the babies’ bottles• Add ‘s for the plurals that do not end with s:

the children’s notebooks

Day 2 – Review

A subject pronoun replaces a noun that is the subject of a sentence. It tells whom or what the sentence is about.

Lil and Drew wash cars to earn money. Lil gets a new bike.

An object pronoun replaces a noun that receives the action of the verb. It can also follow a word such as with, to, at, for, below, or from.

Lil rides the bike everywhere. Lil waves to Drew.

A possessive pronoun shows ownership.Lil is proud of Lil’s new bike.Drew tells Lil, “Your new bike is faster than my bike.”

Day 2 Review

• The noun that a pronoun replaces or refers back to is called the antecedent. A pronoun and its antecedent must agree, or match, in number. Singular pronouns replace singular nouns. Plural pronouns replace plural nouns.

Cal has two parrots. The boy loves to teach words to the parrots.

• A pronoun and its antecedent must also agree in gender.Cal teaches the parrots one new sentence a

week. Today Cal taught the birds to say, “That’s yucky!”
