ISBN9781601283849 Strategy Cards F Definition The onset is the part of the word before the vowel. Not all words have onsets. The rime is the rest of the word beginning with the vowel. Children learn onset and rime after they have developed syllable segmenting and blending, rhyming awareness, and recognition of alliteration. When Morning Message small-group instruction Onset and Rime Strategies Say the onset. Have children say the onset with you. Listen to this sound: /m/. Say it with me: /m/. The beginning sound of milk is /m/. Say the rime. Have children say the rime with you. Milk ends with ilk. Say it with me: -ilk. Blend the onset and rime together to say the word. When I blend the beginning sound /m/ and the ending sound ilk; I make the word milk: /m/ - ilk, milk. Say the sounds with me: /m/ -ilk. Now blend the sounds together: milk. Listen as I do it: /m/ -ilk, milk. Say it with me: /m/ -ilk, milk. Keep in Mind Scaffold childrens acquisition of onset-rime with pictorial support before relying on just the aural interaction. The Pocket Photos or illustrations in books are appropriate pictorial support.

Books for Children 20 I II III III I II So the builder gave the little pig some bricks and the third little pig worked and worked. He built a strong house of bricks. The builder gave the little pig a stack of bricks. The builder went on down the road and the little pig began the slow process of building his new house. He carefully lined up each brick and made a fine, sturdy house. When it was done the little pig went out to find his brothers. The builder stopped the wagon and gave the little pig a stack of bricks. Thank you, kind sir. These bricks are heavy and difficult to move. But my house will be safe and strong, I approve! Pig Three wanted to go out to play with the others, but he took his time. He mixed the mortar, smoothed it with a trowel, and built a solid, secure house. The sun slipped out of the afternoon sky. It was nighttime before Pig Three put the last brick in place. He peered out of his door, smiled out at the moon, and then settled down to sleep in his new brick house. The moon in the black velvet sky looked down on the three little pigseach one sleeping in his own house. El albail le dio al cerdito algunos ladrillos. Y Cerdito Tercero trabaj y trabaj. Y se hizo una casita de ladrillos muy bien construida El albail le dio al cerdito un montn de ladrillos y sigui su camino. Cerdito Tercero empez el largo proceso de construir su casa nueva. Con mucho cuidado fue levantando cada una de las paredes de ladrillo. Y se hizo una casa fuerte y segura. Cuando termin de construir su casa, el cerdito fue a buscar a sus hermanos. El albail detuvo el carro. Y le dio al cerdito suficientes ladrillos para hacer su casita. Gracias seor. Ha sido usted muy amable. Estos ladrillos pesan mucho y son difciles de mover. Pero mi casa ser segura y fuerte. Cerdito Tercero hubiera querido irse a jugar con sus hermanos. Pero se tom todo el tiempo necesario. Prepar la mezcla de cemento. Unt la mezcla con una esptula entre ladrillo y ladrillo y la alis bien. As, poquito a poco, se construy una casa fuerte y segura. El sol se escondi en el cielo de la tarde. Ya era de noche antes de que Cerdito Tercero pusiera el ltimo de los ladrillos. Se asom por la puerta, le sonri a la luna, y se fue a dormir en su casita de ladrillos. Desde el cielo, que pareca en terciopelo negro, la luna miraba a los tres cochinitos, cada uno bien dormido en su propia casa.

Storytelling Tips Storytelling Tips Choose a story that is right for you Look for stories that are age appropriate. Find stories that you like. Look for inspiration in picture books. Collect stories from family, friends, and community members. Create your own stories. Learn the story Read the story several times. Divide the story into a beginning, a middle, and an end in your mind so you have an outline to follow. Retell the story many times Record yourself telling the story, and listen to the recording. Identify areas in which you can improve by adding more details or sound effects. Practice telling the story to your family and friends. Speak naturally Use your normal speaking voice and pace for the majority of the story. To create dramatic moments and make story characters come alive, add voice inflections, accents, and sound effects and vary the volume of your voice. Ask questions After reading or telling a story, ask children open-ended questions. Invite children to explore the beginning and the end of a story. Talk about the story setting, and ask children to imagine the same story taking place in a different setting. Discuss the characters with children, and invite them to imagine the same story with different characters.

I can hear words in my head before I read, speak, or write them down. I get more out of listening to the radio or an audio recording than I do from seeing pictures or other visual images. I enjoy word games like crossword puzzles, Scrabble, anagrams, or Password. I enjoy entertaining myself or others with tongue twisters, nonsense rhymes, or puns. Other people sometimes have to stop and ask me to explain the meaning of the words I use in my writing and speaking. English, social studies, and history were easier for me in school than math and science. When I drive down a freeway, I pay more attention to the words written on billboards than to the scenery. My conversation includes frequent references to things that Ive read or heard. I like to talk through problems, explain solutions, and ask questions. never sometimes Often Always Multiple Intelligences Profile for Teachers For each of the following intelligence categories, place a check mark in a column to indicate if the activity or experience is something you do never, sometimes, often, or always. The cat- egories with the most check marks indicate the intelligences which are your areas of strength (always and often) or weakness (never and sometimes). 34 Continuum of Physical Development 2010 by Frog Street Press, Inc., Crandall, TX Gross Motor Movement Pulling Jalar Target Skills spatial and directional awareness posture awareness of body parts movement of body parts balance flexibility Materials small objects (e.g., blocks, pencils, boxes) heavier objects with handles (e.g, tubs, wagons, boxes) Activity 1. Have children sit at a table. Place a small object at arms length from each child. Have children use one hand to pull the object closer. If children must lean, have them lean from the waist. 2. Increase the weight of the objects until children must use two hands to pull. 3. Place a lightweight object on the floor about arms length from each child. Have children squat or bend as they reach out toward the object. As they pull the object closer, they will bend their arms and straighten their backs. Be sure children do not bend at the waist to pull a heavy object.

Receptive language describes how children receive messages and information. Expressive language describes how children deliver messages and express themselves. Children can receive messages much earlier than they can generate them. Therefore, childrens receptive language develops before their expressive language. Children with speech and language delays understand directions best when they are communicated with short and simple sentences may require assistance understanding how to respond or what is being required so they will feel comfortable participating may require an alternative method of communication, such as a communication board benefit from feeling understood by others may require assistance to know which words to use and how to say them in a way that others around them can understand RESOURCE GUIDE Guidelines & Strategies For Children With Special Needs Dr. Clarissa Willis Clarissa Willis is currently an author and consultant living in North Carolina.

The purpose is to get to know one another through sharing pictures of those we love. This display helps children connect their home family to their school family. It promotes a positive school climate of caring. This will be a yearlong projecta living entity. It will change as siblings are born, children take trips, relatives come to visit, and other events occur. If wall space for this display is not available, create a photo album or scrapbook. Create a photo album of your family and your life. Share your album during circle time or during home visits. Include photos of the children that you have taken during home visits, open house, or in the classroom. School personnel may also be part of your album.

Specifically ask for pictures of pets this week. We will be discussing pets as part of our families during this week. Create a school family song or chant for your class. Post it on the board or in the album or scrapbook. If you have a class visitor from the community during the week, make sure you photograph the visitor and add the photo to your School Family. Discuss the Friends and Family board or album as a continuing project for the rest of the year. Invite the children to continue to share photographs of trips they take, new siblings when they are born, and any other family or friend event they wish to share with their School Family.

My Family and Friends Mi familia y mis amigos My Family and Friends22 From the Experts From the Experts Conscious Discipline Tips Spangler Science Playing with Science Steve Spangler Becky Bailey, PhD When my twin boys were in preschool, I occasionally got the privilege of being the Helping Dad for the day. Im not sure how muchhelpingwent on when I was at school, because I found myself playing with the best of them. It didnt take long for me to forget my writing deadlines or lesson plans or other responsibilities because I was so caught up in the art of playing. Oh, yes there is an art and science to playing. After a quick scan of the room, I zoomed in on the building blocks where I found a little guy who was having problems keeping his structure from falling down. It was Helping Dad to the rescue! I made a recommendation to my playing partner that we use big blocks on the bottom of the tower to make it more stable and to keep it from falling. He looked at me with those five-year-old eyes and said,Thats so dumb! Its supposed to fall overbecause thats why its fun!What was I thinking? As teachers, we must remember that playing and learning go hand in hand and its so important that we model this style of learning to our students. When the teacher discovers something new by playing and experimenting in front of her students, the students will learn from this behavior. It took a simple experience like this to remind me that I didnt need to have a structured activity or worksheet to make a discovery, test out a prediction, explore something new, or just to have fun. I needed this experience to remind me that I must MAKE the time to play so that I can continue to learn and grow as a teacher. Conscious Discipline advocates creating a positive school climate through the creation of the School Family. Within the School Family, children and adults have a sense of belonging. In Theme 1, My School and Me, we began to build the School Family climate during the Greeting Circle with Brain Smart Start activities (stress reduction activities) and connecting rituals. We established The Kindness Tree, Ways to be Helpful Board or Book and the Safe Place to encourage children to be meaningful contributors to the welfare of others. In Theme 2, Family and Friends, we will continue building the School Family by creating The Friends and Family Book and the Job Board. In addition, here are two centers that can be used to nurture the School Family. The We Care Center, to be introduced during Week 2, provides children with a symbolic way of expressing empathy, encouragement, and affection for others. Suggested materials include: Band-Aids stuffed heart blanket heart-shaped or star-shaped glasses stuffed animal heart-shaped stickers facial tissues paper, markers, preprinted note cards or notepads CD player with calming music The Celebration Center provides a way to celebrate life events, individual achievements (losing a tooth, learning to button, birth of a sibling), and contributions to the School Family (using a big voice, helpful hands). You can introduce the Celebration Center when an opportunity arises naturally. Your job is to find the gift that each child or adult has to offer and celebrate it. Suggested materials include: celebration chair a prop box that contains items to use in the celebration (necklaces, theme glasses or hats, ribbons, and so on). Bailey, Becky (2000).

My Family and Friends Mi familia y mis amigos My Family and Friends 23 Character Education Focus Cultural Sensitivity: The Family Pam Schiller, PhD Alma Flor Ada, PhD Eliminating the concept of the other or the idea of different and adopting the notions of diversity and uniqueness is not easy: it requires unlearning biases, a constant in most peoplesupbringing. There is a long tradition of ethnocentrism, of viewing ones culture as the normal one, and all others as not normal. This is so prevalent, that most times we dont see our culture. The notion, for example, ofethnic foodsis a misconception: all food is ethnic; all food belongs to a particular group of people. Hamburgers and hot dogs are just as ethnic as burritos or curried chicken. It is only because they belong to the dominant culture that their ethnicity becomes invisible. Activity Discuss the concept of family to help children understand that families are formed by people who care for each other. Sometimes they live together, sometimes they dont. Invite children to explore the concept that families change: when someone is born, or someone dies, or someone gets married, or someone who lived elsewhere now comes to live in the home. Use numbers to show how different families can be. Encourage children to provide as many examples as possible: a family of two peoplefather and child, foster mother and child, . . . ; or of three peoplemother and two children, grandparents and a child, . . . ; or of four people mother, father and two children, . The combinations will be numerous and they will contribute to opening childrens minds to diversity. Have children draw their families. Turn their drawings into a book. The My Family and Friends theme provides several opportunities for teaching tolerance and helpfulness. Tolerance tolerant toleranteinvolves learning to accept and appreciate differences. Helpfulness amabilidad helpful amableis the practice of aiding and assisting others. It is also an attitude. For many children their family may have been their only window into the outside world. They may assume that all families are the same. They may have developed habits related to playing alone, to having access to whatever they want, and to being waited on. Here are some tips for teaching children to be tolerant and helpful. Incorporate activities that focus on differenceshow many children like melons, live in apartments, have traveled outside the state, were born in May, have siblings, and so on. Provide variety in art materials, snacks, stories, field trips, music, routines, and so on. Encourage the children to try new things. Use materials that promote diversity. Assign jobs in the classroom Invite children to brainstorm a list of things they still need help doing (getting to school, cutting, cooking). Make a list of things they can do to help others (putting on a smock, building, cleaning up). Include group projects such as murals, a garden, or caring for a class pet. Sample Pages 24. My Family and Friends Mi familia y mis amigos My Family and Friends24 Early Authors F. Isabel Campoy, PhD Self-published books should be protected, in order to preserve them through multiple readings. Laminate each page before binding them, or insert the sheets in page protectors (two at a time, back to back, to better resemble a book) and then place them in a simple binder. As you get ready to create more self-published books, remind the children that these books are special because they are about them. Encourage children to think about what they would like to say in their books and begin to develop their awareness as protagonists of their stories and authors of their books. Activity: Create a How Old Am I? Cuntos aos tengo? book Create the self-published collective book How Old Am I? Cuntos aos tengo? Print with large font on top of each page: I am (childs name). Me llamo (nombre del nio). (Paste or scan childs photo.) I am (a boy or a girl). I am (childs age). Yo soy (un nio o una nia). Tengo (edad del nio) anos. I am a wonderful child. Soy un nio/una nia maravilloso/maravillosa. As you read the book, move your hand under the words. Read the last line with emphasis and enthusiasm and encourage children toreadwith you. Take a moment on each page to focus on the child in the photo. Make an encouraging statement or point out a positive characteristic about the child. For example: Jaime has a wonderful smile. Jaime tiena una sonrisa encantadora. or Mara is always cheerful. Mara siempre est alegre. Sincere statements that focus on aspects of character will highlight intangible attributes that may otherwise go unnoticed. Ada, Alma Flor and Campoy, Isabel (2004) Authors in the Classroom: A Transformative Education Process. Portland, Oregon, Allyn and Bacon Dr. Jean Transition Tips Buddy Sticks Partner activities are a wonderful way to encourage social skills and reinforce academic skills. Children can look at books with a partner, play games with a partner, draw pictures with a partner, and do many other activities. To insure that no one gets left out, put pairs of identical stickers on the bottom of large craft sticks (one sticker on each stick). You will need as many sticks as there are children in your classroom. Place the sticks with the stickers on the bottom in a plastic cup. Each child draws a stick and then walks around the room looking for the buddy stick with the matching sticker to find their partner. If you have an odd number of children, the last child can choose which partners she wants to join. Sample Pages 25. My Family and Friends Mi familia y mis amigos My Family and Friends 25 Pam Schillers Brain Booster Pam Schiller, PhD Pat Edwards, PhD Family Connections The collection of parent visions is an extension of parent stories of childrens literacy development. In order to help children succeed in the eyes of all (school, society, and parent), it is important to understand a parents vision of school success for their child. Parents who support their childrens academic achievement often hold powerful visions of school successthis is why the exercise of having parents write a vision statement is so powerful. Here are a couple suggestions for collecting parentsvisions. Parent Vision Survey This survey collects basic information about the family (names, number of siblings, email contact information) as well as narrative information from questions (What do you like to do as a family?---What does your child like to do with his or her free time?---What are your childs needs?) Parents Vision for Childrens Education Form This form allows parents to reflect on their vision and explain it, in their own words, as they respond to questions. What is your vision for your childs classroom (how should it look, be set up, decorated)? What is the teacher doing? What are the students doing? What is your vision for your role in your childs education? For your child as a student? For your childs future? To form an even more complete picture of a familys vision of educational success, teachers can elicit vision statements from both younger children who can use their drawings to convey their images and older students who can answer questions similar to those asked their parents. Collecting and incorporating parent (and child) visions, helps parents feel as if they are involved with and have contributed to their childrens education. Parent (and child) visions help the teacher understand the specific aspects of parent and childrens visions that make them unique individuals. Edwards, P. A. (2009). Tapping the potential of parents: A strategic guide to boosting student involvement through family involvement. New York: Scholastic. Children are the result of a complex interplay between their genetic compositions and the experiences they encounter within the environment. This accounts for the vast differences in each of us. Recent findings indicate that the environment plays a far greater role in building the structure and capacity of the brain than was previously believed. Therefore, we hold a tremendous opportunity in our hands. Experience wires the brain, and repetition strengthens the connections. Positive experiences during fertile times result in positive outcomes. Negative experiences result in negative outcomes. Curriculum is the sum total of all experiences children encounter from the moment they enter the classroom to the moment they leave.

Some children, especially those with ADHD or autism, are very reluctant to sit in a group while you read to them. Make sure the child is seated on a surface that is not distracting for him. For example, try a beanbag chair, a cushion, or an orange therapy ball. If possible, introduce the read-aloud book to the child before you begin to read it to the group. Allowing the child to be familiar with his surroundings, and the materials involved in the activity will help the child be more relaxed and increase the likelihood he will enjoy the story.
