1 Gather and Review Speaking Clearly and ListeningGather the class with partners sitting together, facing you. Tell the students that today they will listen to a poem called “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” and discuss it as a class and with their partners. Explain that when they share their thinking, it is important to speak clearly so others can hear. It is also important that they listen carefully when other students share their thinking. Explain that you will check in with them at the end of the lesson to see how they did with listening and speaking clearly.

2 Read and Discuss “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck”Direct the students’ attention to the “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” chart and read the title and the author’s name aloud. Tell the students that this poem is about a duck with a yellow bill, or beak. Show the students a picture of a duck and point to its bill. Ask and briefly discuss:

Q What do you think ducks use their bills for? Why do you think that?

Then have partners discuss:

Q What is something else you know about ducks? Turn to your partner.

After a few moments, signal for the students’ attention and have one or two volunteers share what they discussed with the class.

Explain that you will read the poem aloud two times. The first time you will read the poem without stopping, and the second time you will stop to explain some of the words.

Read the poem aloud slowly and clearly without stopping, pointing under each word as you read. Pause briefly after the first reading; then read the poem again, clarifying vocabulary as you read.

ELL VocabularyEnglish Language Learners may benefit from hearing additional vocabulary defined, including:wish: want

When you have finished reading, ask and briefly discuss:

Q How does the duck in the poem describe itself?

Q What does the duck do in the poem?

3 Echo Read the PoemTell the students that now they will echo read the poem. Remind them to watch and listen carefully so they will know when it is their turn to read. Echo read the poem two lines at a time, pointing under each word as it is read.

4 Discuss Rhyme and Repetition in the PoemExplain that now the students will echo read part of the poem again, and that you would like them to pay close attention to the words in the part they read. Echo read lines 1–4 of the poem; then ask and briefly discuss:

Q What do you notice about the words in the part of the poem we just read?

Students might say:

“ I notice that back and quack rhyme.”

“ It says waddle three times.”

“ I notice that waddle and quack repeat over and over.”

If necessary, point out the rhyming words in the poem, and remind the students that poets use rhyming words in poems to make them fun to read and hear.

Point to the words that repeat in lines 3 and 4 and explain that when a poet repeats a word more than once, it is called repetition. Explain that repetition, like rhyme, makes poems fun to read and to hear.

Explain that now the students will echo read the rest of the poem and that you would like them to listen for more examples of rhyme and repetition. Echo read lines 5–8, pointing under each word as it is read.



When you are finished reading, have one or two volunteers identify the rhyming words and the words that repeat in these lines.

5 Chorally Read the PoemTell the students that now they will chorally read “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck,” and ask them to use what they know about rhyme and repetition to help them read the words. Chorally read the poem, pointing under each word as it is read. Ask:

Q Do you think “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” is a good title for this poem? Why or why not? Turn to your partner.

After a few moments, signal for the students’ attention and have a few volunteers share their thinking with the class.

6 Reflect on Listening and Speaking ClearlyHave the students reflect on their work in today’s lesson by asking:

Q How did you do with [speaking clearly/listening carefully] today? What do you still need to work on?

Have a few volunteers share their thinking with the class. Explain that in the next lesson, the students will read “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” again and act it out.

EXTENSIONWrite a Shared Animal PoemWrite a shared animal poem in the style of “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck.” As a class, have the students choose an animal and decide on a title for the poem (for example, they might choose a bear with a poem titled “I’m a Big Brown Bear”). Write the title where everyone can see it and then model thinking about and writing the first two lines of the poem. Have the students think about and share ideas for the lines of the rest of the poem, and encourage them to use the “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” poem as a model. As the students share, record their suggestions and support them in including rhyming words and repetition. When the poem is finished, chorally read it with the students. Then create individual copies of the poem to put in each student’s poetry reader.

Independent Work ConnectionsFor next week’s Independent Work, we suggest the following:

•Encourage the students to read the poem “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” in their poetry readers during independent reading.

•Have the students illustrate the poem “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” in their poetry readers during independent writing.

Teacher NoteSave the “I’m a Yellow-bill Duck” chart to use in Week 29.

Poem



This week you will continue to teach an Independent Work Check-in lesson on the day of the week you do not teach Small-group Reading. The purpose of the check-in lessons is to ensure that the students are able to maintain successful independent work rotations. The lessons provide time for you to assess your students, conduct conferences, and introduce new materials and activities. For more information about the check-in lessons, see Appendix B, “Independent Work Resources.”

This week we suggest you teach the “Introduce New Materials” check-in lesson in Appendix B, “Independent Work Resources.” Depending on the needs of your students, you may decide to teach a different check-in lesson.

Independent Work Check-in

This week the students continue to rotate to and work in all three independent work areas around the room while you teach Small-group Reading. We suggest continuing any procedures that have worked effectively in previous weeks.

Independent WorkOVERVIEW


Week 24 O Handwriting 439

Stroke Sequences

a Pull back, around. Push up. Pull down straight.

d Pull back, around. Push all the way up. Pull down straight.

e Pull back, around. Push all the way up. Pull down straight.

f Pull back and pull down straight. Lift. Go to the middle and cross.

Handwriting OVERVIEW

This week the students learn the way to form the lowercase letters a, d, e, and f.

HandwritingLearn and Practice

Lowercase Letters a, d, e, and f

In this lesson, the students: •Learn and practice forming the lowercase letters a, d, e, and f

1 Introduce, Model, and Practice a, d, e, and fHave the students stay in their seats. Tell the students that today they will learn to form the lowercase letters a, d, e, and f. Write each letter where everyone can see it, and say the name of each letter as you write it.

Distribute a wipe-off board, dry-erase marker, and tissue or cloth to each student. Using the same procedure as in Week 7, Step 1, guide the students through forming each letter using the stroke sequence listed above. For each letter, model and have the students practice first air writing and then writing the letter on the lined side of their wipe-off boards, all while saying the stroke sequence aloud.

When the students have practiced writing each letter, collect the wipe-off boards, dry-erase markers, and cloths.

2 Practice a, d, e, and f IndependentlyDistribute the Handwriting Notebooks and have the students complete pages 49–52. As the students work, walk around and observe, assisting them as needed.

Materials •Wipe-off board, dry-erase marker, and tissue or cloth for each student, plus one for modeling •Handwriting Notebook pages 49–52 •“Class Assessment Record” sheet (CA1)



CLASS ASSESSMENT NOTE

Observe the students and ask yourself: • Are the students using the correct stroke sequences to form the letters? • Do they form letters that are appropriately sized? • Are they gripping their pencils in a standard way?

Record your observations on the “Class Assessment Record” sheet (CA1); see page 27 of the Assessment Resource Book. Support any students who struggle with letter formation and/or pencil grip by working with them individually or in a small group during another time of the day. Alternatively, you might have them practice a, d, e, and f on the CCC Handwriting app.

3 Wrap UpCollect the Handwriting Notebooks. Tell the students that during independent writing they will practice forming the letters they learned today.

Independent Work ConnectionFor this week’s Independent Work, we suggest the following:

•Place copies of “Letter Practice: a” (BLM2), “Letter Practice: d” (BLM3), “Letter Practice: e” (BLM4), and “Letter Practice: f” (BLM5) in the writing area for the students to use for writing practice during Independent Work.
