Specific Observable Objective(s):

I can understand how print is organized and read.
I can find and make words that rhyme.
I can finger-point while my teacher reads with me.
I can say, segment, and blend sounds.
Essential Vocabulary:
finger -pointing - pointing to the words as I read them or we read them
together.
Assessment:
This activity will be done in small groups, so I will be able to assess the
students by observation and asking questions.

Student Considerations:
For each group I will need to accommodate and differentiate the way I explain
and start the lesson. For the groups that need more help or explanation, I will
spend more time reading over the poem and pointing to the words. For the
groups that do not need as much explicit instruction, I will possibly let one of
the students point while we choral read.
Instructional Resources, Materials, and Technology:
Day one, two, and three, will just use pocket chart and Jack-O-Happy poem
on sentence strips.
Day four: individual books, crayons, and poem on sentence strips.
PROCEDURES:
The Beginning (a.k.a. Anticipatory Set): (2 minutes)
Day 1: I will start by having the Jack-O-Happy poem already on the pocket
chart and ask them if they remember Apple Happy (a previous poem very
similar that we did a few weeks before.
Day 2: I will ask them to recall Jack-O-Happy. Then, I will re-read Jack-OHappy once, then have them read it with me.
Day 3: I will remind them of the poem, and then have them read it with me.
Day 4: I will remind them of the poem, and then have them read it with me.
The Middle: (7 minutes)
Day 1: I will go on to read and point to Jack-O-Happy (just myself) and tell
them to listen as I read. I will then ask them to read with me as I point to the
words. I will do this a few times then I will give the students faces to put up
next to the emotions of Jack.
o For the groups that are higher in literacy skills and have COW I may
have one of the students point as we all read.
Day 2: I will give each student a turn pointing to the words as we choral read
the poem, then I will give each student the emotion faces to put up to match
the words.
Day 3: I will have each student point to the poem as we choral read, put the
faces up, then I will transition into talking about rhyming words. I will say,
Oh! I hear some words that rhyme. Which words rhyme? I will then talk
about
Day 4: I will give each of them a book and we will read it together. I will tell
them I need them to point as we read as a class. After we read, I will ask
them to look on each page for rhyming words and we will color them yellow.
o Depending on which groups understand, I will ask them to look for the
word is.
The End (a.k.a. Closing): (Specify time)
Day 1: To end that center, I will tell them that we will be revisiting Jack-OHappy all week and explain that tomorrow I will have them each point to the
words.
Day 2: To end, I will tell them that we will look more at Jack tomorrow, but
we will be looking for specific words.

Day 3: The end, I will tell them that we will look more at Jack tomorrow and
we will be making our own Jack-O-Happy book!

Day 4: I will end this center by having them choral read with me one last time
and we will close up our books and put them in our book boxes.
