Introducing the Read-Aloud 15 minutes

What Have We Learned?

• Ask students: “Who did we meet in yesterday’s read-aloud? What did
  she tell us about?”
  
  
  • We met Polly the Honeybee. She told us about fruit and seeds.
  
  
  
  


• Using Image Cards 2 through 12, review the different types of fruit
  and their seeds. You may wish to have students visualize in their
  minds what the seeds look like and then show them the picture of the
  seed in the fruit.


• Reinforce the fact that some plants produce fruit to hold their seeds.

My Plants Pages

• Give students their My Plants Pages booklet.


• Show students an example of completed Plants Page for Lesson 7.


• Have them turn to next blank page and write the number “7” on the
  bottom corner. Tell students to draw something that plants provide to
  humans.


• Choose a few students to dictate what they have drawn. Be sure to
  repeat back to them what you have written on their paper.
  ➶ Above and Beyond: If they are able, students may label their
  drawing.


• Have students share their Plant Page with their partner, in small
  groups, or with home language peers. Encourage them to comment on
  each other’s picture. Then direct students to go back to their picture
  and revise it based on your comments or the comments of their peers.
