Learning Objectives
Students will be able to read multiple high-frequency words.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Have your students "shake sillies out" and then do a silent stretch for 10 seconds to settle themselves.
- Have your students catch a "bubble" in their mouths by opening their mouths and gulping.
- Demonstrate a shark "chomp" to begin the lesson by placing one hand on your hip, the other on your head, and clapping your hands together to chomp.
Beginning
- Display a picture of a shark for students to reference when introducing a shark chomp.
- Define the word "chomp" as a big bite and ask students to practice opening their mouths and taking a pretend "big bite" of food.
Intermediate
- Ask students to think about how an animal might take a big bite of something, then have them demonstrate taking a big bite or "chomp" using their hands.
