lesson PlAn VoCABulAry All in onenew Words: author, illustrator Remind children that an author is the person who writes a book, and an illustrator is the person who draws the pictures. Choose a picture book from the classroom library. Can children find the name of the author? What about the name of the illustrator?
PHonemiC AWAreness rHyme timeFocus: rhyming words Tell children that Dr. Seuss’s books are filled with words that rhyme. Explain that some of the words Dr. Seuss used are real words, and others are words he made up. Write the following word endings on chart paper: -at, -op, -in, -et. Add different consonants to the beginning of each. What rhyming words did you find? Which are real words? Which are made-up?
Word study inVenting AnimAlsFocus: Phrase: word combinationsTell children that Dr. Seuss liked to invent funny animals, like dog-a-lopes and elephant birds. Together with children write a list of animals on chart paper (e.g., kangaroo, cat, zebra, giraffe, etc.). Then ask children to invent an animal by combining at least two of the animals on the list (e.g., a kanga-cat or a zebra-giraffe). Have them draw a picture of their animal and ask them to share it with the class.
Bridging lAnguAges: Commands in CommonTell children that in both Spanish and English there are words that tell people what to do. They are called mandatos in Spanish and commands in English. Challenge children to find all the commands they can in this month’s Spanish and English issues.
the dr. is in!Dr. Seuss was born in 1904 in Springfield, •Massachusetts. Dr. Seuss’s real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. His friends and family just called him “Ted.”When Ted was a kid, he doodled pictures of •funny animals in his school notebooks. Why was Dr. Seuss’s other pen name “Theo •LeSieg”? Theo is short for Theodor; LeSieg is Geisel spelled backward!A publisher once asked Dr. Seuss to write •a book that would teach kids to read 220 different words. He did it! It was The Cat in the Hat!Another time, one of Dr. Seuss’s friends bet him •that he couldn’t write a book using 50 words or less. Well, he did it, and it’s one of his most famous—Green Eggs and Ham!

Have children turn to page 3 of the Spanish issue. Which animal said ¡Uy! ¡Me voy de aquí!? What does it mean? Next, have children turn to page 3 of the English issue. What does the chimpanzee say there? How are the phrases similar? How are they different?
Bridging lAnguAges: R BlendsWrite the words primavera, crece, spring, and grow on chart paper. Circle the pr in primavera, the cr in crece, the spr in spring, and the gr in grow. Tell children that these are r-blends. What other examples of r-blends can children find in this month’s issues? (e.g., preparados, crezcan; sprout, ground dries)
it’s Poppy time es la hora de la amapolaOBJECTIVE: Learn about a poppy’s life cycle by reading a flowchart.
STANDARDS: Science: characteristics of organisms; life cycle
COMMON CORE STANDARDS: READING: 7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats; LANGUAGE: 4. Determine the meaning of unknown words using context clues, word parts, and reference materials.
lesson PlAn VoCABulAry CirCle oF liFenew Words: life cycleTogether, review the life cycle changes a poppy flower goes through on pages 2 and 3. Give each child a piece of paper. Ask them to draw a circle in the middle by tracing something round (e.g., a roll of masking tape). Have them draw each step of a poppy flower’s life cycle: sprout, bud and flower, pistil, and seeds. Ask: Does the life cycle ever stop?
orAl lAnguAge BeFore And AFterKey Words: after and beforeAsk children to look at pages 2 and 3. Together, point to the picture of the sprout. Moving in a clockwise direction, talk through the steps of the poppy flower’s life cycle using the word after (e.g., After the sprout comes the bud and flower, etc.). Go back to the sprout, move in a counterclockwise direction and talk through the steps again—this time using the word before (Before the sprout is the seed, etc.).
lAnguAge struCture APOSTROPHE sFocus: contractions vs. possessivesAsk children to circle the words it’s, and let’s. What do these words have in common? They all have an apostrophe s! Explain that in it’s and let’s the apostrophe s signals contractions, or short ways of saying it is and let us.
Poppy Power!There are many different kinds of poppies. •There’s the ladybird poppy, California poppy, Iceland poppy, Shirley poppy, desert bear-paw poppy, prickly poppy, and more. The poppies in this issue are field poppies (also known as corn poppies).Many different parts of poppies are useful •besides the seeds. The green parts can be eaten as a vegetable, and the petals can be made into a syrup to add color and flavor to drinks. Oil from poppy seeds is used to make salad dressing, paint, and even soap.Red poppies are a symbol of remembrance. •They make us think of people who have served our country. Some people wear red poppies on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day.
