    Teacher: Has everyone finished coloring?Students: Yes

    Teacher: So what is the letter that you guys found?

    Make sure to write the word on the board so thatthe class can see it and write it down in their books.

    This is played the same way as the original Tic-Tac-Toe except you won’t be using X’s and O’s.

    Instead of X’s and O’s, you can have thestudents play the game with lower-case B’s andD’s since they look similar, some students havehard time telling them apart. This exercise is tohelp them identify the lower-case letters so ifyou feel that there are some lower-case lettersthat the students need to practice, you can play

    *True or FalseThis is a simple game to play with the class.Have them stand in the middle of the class in a

    line. Let the students know that one side is trueand the other side is false. From the weatherflashcards, you are going to choose a randomcard and hold it up so that the students can see it.Then you are going to either call out what iswritten on the card or call out a different name.For example, if you chose a card that says rainy,then you can call out rainy to make it true or youcan call foggy instead of rainy and make it false.If you say rainy the students should jump to thetrue side but if you say foggy instead of rainythen the students should jump to false side.

    Instruct the students to open their books to page18.

    Have the student get into groups of 2~4. Giveeach group a dice and coins. They can also usethings that they have (lid of a pen, eraser etc) astheir place makers. Before they start explain

    how the games is played. First they should dorock paper scissor to determine who will go first.Then the first player rolls the dice and movestheir piece. If they land on a picture of weather,they need to say the name of that weather (if it isa picture of rainy, then the student need sayrainy out loud.) Second and third players play

    the same way also. The player who gets to thefinish line first wins the game.

    Instruct the students to take out their activity

     books. Each student needs a pair of scissors, a paper fastener and crayons. Before they cut outtheir weather wheels, instruct them to color thewheel first. After they have finished coloring,they should raise their hands for scissors. They

    should cut out the wheel and the arrow. Havethem raise their hands when they have finishedcutting the wheel and the arrow. You can thenattach the paper fastener. When the studentshave finished making the weather wheel, havethem get into groups of threes. In groups, theyare going to talk about what kinds of things they

    can wear and different activities that can be played during that weather. They can also talkabout how the characteristics of the changes.

    On the board write down the name of an objectand how many there are. Have at least fivedifferent objects on the board with any number

    from one to ten. For example, three black pen,

    two erasers, four pencils etc. As students arecoming into the class, instruct them to startfinding those objects with that amount ofnumber. Don’t give them too much time, justenough so that everyone would be able to findthose items. When a student thinks he or she haseverything in the correct amount, have him orher raise her hand. You can walk over to see if

    they got it correct. Give them a candy as areward for getting it correct.

    Teacher: Ok class, look at the board and start
