Build Background

Activate Prior Knowledge Tell children:Hoy vamos a leer sobre los animales.Ask children to name animals they know.Tienen ustedes o un amigo una mascota?Qu tipo de animal es? Alguna vez han ido al zoolgico? Qu tipos de animales vieron?

Ask children to draw an animal and share their drawings with the class.

Introduce the Focus Skill: Letter Sounds Review letters and soundsusing the following routine:Esta es la letra (Cc).A veces hace el sonido (/k/) como en

(camello). Point to (camello) on (p. 6). A veces hace el sonido (/s/) como en (cebras).

Point to (cebras) on (p. 7).Repitan conmigo: (/k/ camello; /s/ cebras ). Explain that

each animal name in the book begins with a different letter of the alphabet. Ask

each child to hold up his or her animal drawing, say the animal name, and the

rst sound they hear. For example: /g/gato.

Acquire New Vocabulary IntroducePalabras nuevas on p. 35. Read each word aloud and use it in a sentence, emphasizingthe initial letter sound in the key word. For example, say: La nia avanzapor el camino. Ask volunteers to generate a simple sentence

with one of the words. Then divide the class into two groups. Have each group writePalabras nuevas on index cards and sort them by

letter. Have them tape the sorted words in columns on the board. Review pronunciation as a class.

Read and Respond Display the book. Read the title and author name aloud as you track the print. After reading eachpage, point to the letter and say the animal name. Have children repeat. Then describe the animals key characteristics by making

connections to the ve senses. For example, after reading p. 8, say: Si tocara el chacal, sentira pelo suave y seco. El pelo del chacal es suave y

seco. Compare animals with very different characteristics to build comprehension. For example, after reading p. 9, say: Si tocara el delfn,

sentira piel lisa y mojada. La piel del delfn es lisa y mojada.As you read, invite children to nish the rhyming sentences. You may want to

cover the nal rhyming word and have children predict what it will be.

Curricular Enrichment: Science Explain to children that they will work with a partner to put on a puppet show.First, they will choose an animal from the book and readQu interesante!on pp. 36-39. Have partners jot down facts about

their animals habitat, diet, physical characteristics, and behavior. You may want to provide access to a computer for children

to conduct additional research. Then help partners write a short dialogue using information about their animal. Finally,

distribute white socks or paper bags, buttons, glue, felt, scissors, and other art supplies for children to make animal puppets.

Have partners practice their puppet dialogues, using correct intonation. Choose a large desk where children can comfortably

hide behind while putting on the puppet show. You may wish to record the show and replay it for the class. After the show,

review the animal names as a class and have children say the initial letter and sound. Ask volunteers to share new information

learned about the animals during the puppet show.

Home Connection (Teacher, you may want to photocopy this activtiy for children to complete with a family member.)

Talk with your child about the animals he/she learned about. Take turns naming as many animals as possible in alphabetical

order. Encourage your child to describe the animals by making connections to his/her senses. For example: Los osos se sienten

suaves. Los zorrillos tienen un olor malo.
