Activity

Three-year-olds can make a circle before they can make a cross. For four-year-olds, we use the cross to prepare them to write letters with vertical and horizontal strokes. Teach the vertical from top to bottom and the cross from left to right.

This is the L page. L is a letter. Do you know: L words? L names? L sounds? Have you ever seen a lizard?

Activity

Look and Learn

This is a shape page. This shape is a cross.

Look and Learn

Let’s find Ls on this page. Look. There’s a lizard. Lizard starts with L. Is a lizard an animal or a person? Where do lizards live? What do lizards have?

Look at the pictures and name them together: cross, window, scarecrow, kite, cross. Then say together: This is a cross. The window has a cross; the scarecrow has a cross, etc. This strategy helps children learn words and left-to-right reading. The window has something else—a lizard.

Color and Draw

Trace, Color, and Draw Crosses

Trace and Write L

Let’s color the lizard. Show pictures. Lizards can be any color. They can have spots or stripes. Draw rocks or grass for the lizard too. Demonstrate. The lizard needs a tongue!

Demonstrate how to draw a cross: Little line down, little line across. Trace the first cross together. Children put their crayons on the arrow, little line down, little line across. Children trace, color, and draw as they like.

Finger trace the L at the top of the page. (Say directions.) Let’s write L. Put the crayon on the

“Ready for Robins”

When children can identify the sequence of beginning, middle, and end, they can better comprehend the story and make sense of what they have heard or read. This understanding enables them to organize their memories and retell stories.

Grouping: Small group; Whole class

English Language Learners: Help children understand beginning, middle, and end. Have three children line up. Point out who is at the ™

™

beginning, middle, and end. You can also line up other classroom items and point out the beginning, middle, and end of each line.

Objective

Children identify the beginning, middle, and end of a story.

Activity

Try to remember what happens in the beginning, middle, and end of our story. 1. Read “Ready for Robins.” 2. Have children pretend to be young robins. I will be your robin parent. Here is our nice warm nest. Pretend you are my small blue eggs. Roll into a small egg. You can’t see. You don’t have feathers. You are very hungry. Now, break out of your shell. Here are some yummy worms. Open wide! You get stronger. You can see and grow feathers. Now, try your wings out and fly. Beautiful! 3. Place Story Cards in the Line It Up Bar out of order. Re-read words for the first card. Show me what happens first. Please put it up. 4. Re-read the words for the second card. Show me the picture of what happens next. Please put it next to the first card. 5. Re-read the words for the third card. Show me the picture of what happens last. Please put it next to the second card. 6. Now we know the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

Check for Understanding Observe as children retell the story. Can they identify the beginning, middle and end? Can they sequence the story?

Support: Show a real banana. I am going to share this banana. What should I do first? (Peel.) And next? (Slice, share, and eat.) And next? (Throw away the peel.)
