Learning Coach Notes:

Lesson # Lesson Title Notes
1 36.1- Contractions II
  • As your student reads “I'm on My Way, Second Grade!” ask them the following questions: What did you learn in First Grade? Why are you ready for Second Grade?
  • Use the sight word flashcards daily with your student. Mix them up, show them the words and ask them to read the sight word. Next do not show them the word but say the word and ask them to spell the word.
  • During Independent Reading time have your First Grader read the story they chose out loud so that you can hear errors and correct them if needed.
2 36.2- Contractions II
  • There will be no formal handwriting worksheets assigned during this semester. However, if you believe your student still needs more work or practice with handwriting, please visit the Teacher Guide for handwriting resources to implement on your own.
  • Your student will need to have started a rough draft paragraph started about his/her plans for summer. S/he will be working on this paragraph in several lessons this week.
  • During Independent Reading time have your First Grader read the story they chose out loud so that you can hear errors and correct them if needed.
  • Use the sight word flashcards daily with your student. Mix them up, show them the words and ask them to read the sight word. Next do not show them the word but say the word and ask them to spell the word.
3 36.3- Contractions II
  • Your student will need to have started a rough draft paragraph about his/her summer plans. S/he will be working on this paragraph in several lessons this week.
  • Have your student follow the directions below to practice his/her sight words in this lesson. 1. Turn disposable cups upside down and write review sight words on the cups. 2. Find a place with a lot of room and set up the cups in a pyramid. 3. Time to bowl! Take several steps back from the cups. Roll the ball towards the cups and try to knock over as many as you can. You get two tries per turn. 4. After your second turn, read all of the words you knocked over. Then, read the ones still standing. 5. Set the cups back up and play again. 6. Play this several times for extra practice. Your student will be going on a word hunt for the phonics lesson today. Have your student search for contractions in a magazine or newspaper and highlight those words when s/he finds one.
4 36.4- Contractions II
  • Your student will need to have a rough draft paragraph written, revised, and edited about his/her summer plans for the writing lesson today.
  • When reading "I'm on My Way, Second Grade!" in this lesson have your student write the contractions that are in the story in their Language Arts notebook.
  • During Independent Reading time have your First Grader read the story they chose out loud so that you can hear errors and correct them if needed.

5 36.5- Contractions II Don’t forget to have your student complete their independent reading log and assignment and submit it at the Independent Reading Assignment lesson dropbox. You may have to help them fill it out. Remember to submit their work for the week in the Module 36 Weekly Written Work Phonics of the Week: Contractions II lesson dropbox.
