• When I see this form of the word steps, I think of how my mother
  steps over the toys in the family room, how my teacher steps
  around the desks in our classroom, how my friend steps quietly
  while we play hide-and-seek, etc.

6. [Point to the steps that are the stages in a process of doing
   something.] Now with your partner, talk about what you think of when
   you see these kinds of steps.

• When I see these kinds of steps, I think of the steps I take to get
  ready for school in the morning, the steps to make my favorite
  dessert, the steps to create an art project, etc.

Note: The purpose of these syntactic activities is to help students

understand the direct connection between grammatical structures

and the meaning of text. These syntactic activities should be used in

conjunction with the complex text presented in the read-alouds. There

may be variations in the sentences created by your class. Allow for these

variations, and restate students’ sentences so that they are grammatical.

Directions: We have been learning about pronouns that we can use when

we speak and write to replace nouns that stand for people. Today we

will continue to learn about possessive pronouns. We use possessive

pronouns to show ownership or to show that something belongs to

someone. [Whenever you see a person’s name in brackets, please

replace that name with the name of a student or co-teacher in your class.]

1. When I am talking about something that belongs to me and somebody
   else, I use the possessive pronoun ours. Listen as I say that something
   belongs to me and someone else. “[Charles], this marker is ours; it
   belongs to us.”
