Unit Warm Up

Creating Interest Do one or more of the following to build students’ curiosity about the unit.Pretend. Prepare a box containing the following items: a crayon, a small book, a marker, a piece of paper, a pencil, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of glue. Shake the box and invite a volunteer to close his or her eyes and choose something from it. Then as you and the student hold up the item, gesture for the rest of the class to pretend to use it. Repeat with other volunteers until all the items have been used. Set the box aside for later. Then ask students to guess what this unit might be about.

Stand up. Walk around the room and tap all students who have something yellow. Direct each one to stand by saying and gesturing Stand up. Ask the class what these students have in common. If necessary, give them a hint by pointing to the yellow items. Repeat for the colors blue, green, and red. Poster. Display the Unit 1 Poster. Invite students to name everything they can, and to ask for the names of words they don’t know.

1. Distribute pictures or realia of classroom items to students so everyone has one thing. Bring out the box of items from Creating Interest. Invite a volunteer to pick from the box. Guide him or her to hold up the item for the class to see by saying Hold up the pencil. You might model this the first few times. Then repeat the command for students at their desks: Hold up the pencil. Students with pencils (or pictures of them) should hold them up. Repeat for all the items in the box.

2. Point out the picture dictionary at the bottom of pages 2–3. Play the audio or read aloud the names of the items a few times and have students point to each one and repeat each time.

3. Say the name of each item again and ask students to point to an example of each in the big picture. Repeat the activity as needed.

Language presentation. Direct students’ attention to the Backpack mascot and her speech balloon. Point to something yellow as you read aloud the question Is it yellow? Nod your head yes as you answer Yes, it is. Then point to something that is not yellow as you ask Is it yellow? Shake your head no as you answer No, it isn’t. Point to other items in the classroom and invite students to respond together. Some may feel more comfortable using one-word answers yes or no. Then repeat the yes/no question to talk about the color red and classroom items. You can ask the following questions. Eventually, students may produce the questions on their own.

1. Is it yellow? 2. Is it red? 3. Is it a book? 4. Is it a crayon? 5. Is it a marker? 6. Is it a pencil? 7. Yes, it is. 8. No, it isn’t.

WB Assign page 1 now. Audioscript is on page T1C. Answers are on page T112.

EnrichmentA5 Pronunciation: Intonation of questions.

Ask the question Is it yellow? Have students repeat. Then say It’s yellow. Draw students’ attention to the different intonation used for questions and answers. Yes/no questions end with a rising intonation. Then play the audio or read aloud the questions below. Have students repeat as necessary.

Is it yellow?Is it red?Is it a book?Is it a marker?

Grammar point. To ask about the vocabulary word scissors, you will need to alter the question form: Are they scissors? To ask about the vocabulary word teacher, you will need to alter the question form: Is she/he a teacher? If you feel this additional language is too much of a burden for your students, it’s okay to practice these words using only simple commands, such as Show me the scissors. Point to the teacher.

Get ReadyFind the circle. Create a paper circle. Hold it up and say circle. Then invite a group of volunteers to stand in different areas of the room. Have the rest of the class put their heads on their desks so they can’t see. Give the circle cutout to one of the volunteers and give the other volunteers plain pieces of paper. Have them all hide their papers behind their backs.

Then ask the class to pick up their heads and try to guess which standing student has the circle. Students can take turns gesturing toward a standing volunteer and asking Is it a circle? The student then shows his or her paper. If it’s not the circle, everyone says no. If it is the circle, then everyone says yes.

EnrichmentMusical chairs. Set up eight chairs, back to back in two rows of four. Tape a blue, green, red, or yellow circle to each one. Ask eight volunteers to each stand by a chair. Lead the rest of the class in singing the unit song. As the class sings, have the volunteers walk around the chairs. Remove one of the chairs, leaving seven chairs. Then stop the audio and signal for everyone to stop singing. At this cue, the volunteers all find a seat. There will be one student who doesn’t have a seat. Help this student name the color shown on each chair. Then have him or her take a seat with the rest of the class. Repeat the game until you have one student left. Students can substitute blue and green for yellow and red when they sing.

Application

A11 During Reading1. Invite students to listen quietly as you play

the audio or read the story to them. Use gestures and point to the pictures to help with meaning. Tell them that they can ask questions and talk about the story when you read or play it again. The text of the Little Book is on Student Book pages 9–10.

2. Read the story or play the audio a second time. This time, encourage students to use gestures and point to pictures, just as you did the first time. Students may also ask questions and comment on the story. Help them understand the new word friends.

3. Reading development: Understanding concepts of print. As you read or play the story a second time, focus on the concepts of print, such as the parts of a book and directionality. Point to the title and author’s name on page 1. Name each and read these aloud. Then invite students to repeat. As you read, model tracking the print from left to right to reinforce the directionality of print.

4. Compare students’ original predictions with what actually takes place in the story. Did they correctly predict how the problem was solved?

Before Reading1. Have students take out pages 9–10 from their

books. Model how to make a Little Book by folding the pages in half. Make sure all the books are ready before continuing.

2. Invite three students to the front of the room. Have them sit down. Say Show me one child. Gesture for one child to stand as you say I see one child. Repeat with two and three children. Then divide the whole class into groups of three and repeat the activity. Make sure that within each group, the right number of children are standing based on your command.

3. Repeat the above activity asking for chairs. Say to a volunteer Show me one chair. Gesture for

the volunteer to point to one chair and say I see one chair.

4. Preview the pictures for the first three pages of the story, commenting on each page and encouraging students to participate. For example, ask and answer: What do you see? I see a teacher. How many children do you see? I see one child. Don’t show the last page.

5. Reading strategy awareness: Making a prediction. After students comment on the third page, ask if they see a problem (there are three children, but only two chairs). Students can use the facial expressions of the characters as a clue that there is a problem. Invite students to predict how the teacher and children will solve the problem.

5. Echo read. To help students develop oral reading skills, echo read the book with them. Play the audio or read aloud the first sentence. Have students repeat after you as

they track the print in the story. Repeat with each sentence. Guide students to imitate the stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns of each sentence.

After ReadingCheck comprehension. To check students’ comprehension, ask questions such as the ones below. Remind students to use the illustrations and any familiar words to help them answer the questions. Make sure you point to a picture when you ask a question, and have students point when they answer. How many children are there? How many chairs do you see? Three children and two chairs: is it okay? Who helps? Color the frame. Return to page 1 of the Little Book and note the pattern of colors on the frame. Display page 2. Help students decide what colors are needed to fill in the frame. Follow the same procedure for the bottom of page 3. Then have students color the frame on page 4 in the same pattern as the other pages.Family connection. After reading the story several times, encourage students to take their Little Books home and share One, Two, Three with their families and friends.To ensure success reading aloud for those students who need more support, provide rehearsal time. Play the audio of the text, (1) sentence by sentence, pausing for students to repeat each sentence; (2) one page at a time, pausing for students to repeat each page; (3) entirely, without pausing.Role play. Role play the story by assigning roles for a narrator, a teacher, and three children. The narrator retells the story as the others act it out.

EnrichmentFocus on number. Focus on plural nouns by using concrete objects. Say one chair, two chairs, three chairs as you point to one, then two, then three chairs. Emphasize the -s ending when you say chairs. Repeat with pencils, markers, and tables. Then repeat the activity having a volunteer point to the items while you write the correct number on the board. Have students copy the three numbers onto index cards. Repeat the activity by either saying (one chair), or pointing to (one chair) and having students hold up the correct number. Draw and label. Demonstrate how to draw simple tables and chairs on the blackboard. Then encourage students to draw their own. Assist them in adding captions, such as two tables, one chair.Teach a rhyme. Use pictures and gestures to clarify meaning as you teach the following rhyme: The circle is a shape

that’s easy to be found.It has no corners on it, it goes round and round and round.

Encourage students to form circles with their fingers and arms, or draw them in the air.

Enrichment Start a class Alphabet Book. For more practice with words and sounds, print the letters Aa on a sheet of construction paper. Glue pictures of objects that start with A. Do the same for Bb and Cc. Some ideas follow: ant, apple, backpack, book, cookie, crayon. Add to the Alphabet Book as students learn more words and letters throughout the year.

Get ReadyRoll the dice. Pass a pair of dice around so students can hold and roll them. After students have had a chance to experience the dice, say

Show me a die. If students are unsure of what to do, model holding up a die and saying Here’s a die! Encourage students to repeat.

Project: One, Two, ThreeCut and play.

1. Direct students’ attention to the project picture. Relate the project to the rest of the unit by reminding students that they learned the numbers one, two, and three, and now they are going to each make a die with those numbers on it.

2. Read aloud the directions and make sure students know that they will cut out the die, then fold and tape it to make a die that looks like the one on the page.

3. Model doing this one step at a time and have students follow along. First, to make it easier to cut out the die, tear the entire page out of the book. Then cut along the dotted lines. (Some students may need assistance cutting neatly.) Finally, fold the cutout along the lines and tape the edges together to make a die.

4. Show students how to play a game by rolling the die and saying the number. Then count that number of some item in the classroom. Guide students to play this game with a partner. Add language by having the partner who rolls direct his or her partner: Show me (one). The other partner then points to (one) thing and says I see one (pencil).

5. For another game, you can have both partners roll at the same time. The partner who gets the higher number has to name the

number and find that number of items in the classroom. If the partners roll the same number, they both write it down on a slip of paper. At the end of the game, collect the papers and make a tally of which numbers students rolled most often.

6. For another game, each pair will need twenty plastic cubes, marbles, or counters. As each student rolls the die, he/she takes that number of cubes from the pile. When all the cubes are gone, have students compare their numbers.

7. Monitor students’ language as they play. Note errors to review later.

EnrichmentSee and point. Point to the corners on a die and say corner. Have students repeat it. Find and identify corners on other objects in the classroom. Point to something round and show that circles have no corners!Play a guessing game. Review some or all the actions learned in this unit: clap, color, count, cut, draw, find, give, glue, listen, point, say, show, sing, sit, sort, stand, trace, write. Encourage individuals to do an action as the audience guesses what it is.

1. Direct students’ attention to the game board on page 13.

2. Guide students as they identify the colors of the desks and the pictures on each.

3. Show where to start and end the game. Then explain that the arrows show how to move around the board.

4. Demonstrate rolling the die, moving in the direction of the arrows, and saying the name of the object on each desk. Explain that students will follow your example and move the number of spaces they roll, naming the item on each desk as they do so.

5. Then roll again, but this time make a mistake and misname one of the items. Move back to your last spot. If students make a mistake or can’t name an item, they should go back to their last spot on the board.

6. Students should play the game in pairs, or groups of three. They take turns after each roll of the die.

7. As students play the game, walk around the room and monitor their language. Note errors to review after the game is finished.

Now I Can!

Students should feel confident that they know the following: school vocabulary; the numbers 1–3; the colors blue, green, red, and yellow; the shape circle; the sounds /e/, /b/, and /k/. Students should also feel confident producing and responding to commands, questions, and statements based on the following language: Is it yellow? It’s a red book. Show me three. Once students are comfortable and have demonstrated success with these targets, discuss with them how much they’ve learned and what they can do now. I can do it! Students have now completed Unit 1. After formal assessment (see the Assessment Package, pages vii–viii), invite students to mark their growth in celebration of the successful completion of the unit. Provide each of them with the Unit 1 Now I Can! sticker from the back of the Student Book and have them place it in the outlined space.

EnrichmentStart a portfolio. Collect each student’s work in a portfolio. Include your observations and assessments. Add to the portfolio throughout the year. For information about portfolios, see pages vi–vii of the Assessment Package.
