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.
