1 Let s Learn about Animals Week-at-a-Glance Lesson Planner Topic: Ocean Animals Explain to children that you will learn about ocean animals this week. There are many different animals that live in the ocean. We are going to learn about fishes, sharks, and other creatures that live in the sea. Oceans are different than lakes and rivers because the water is salty. (Optional: You might do a KWL chart about ocean animals you will discuss this week: What do you already know about animals that live in the ocean? What do you want to learn about ocean animals like sharks?) Component Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Tier 1 Read Aloud 15 min. Suggested Center Extensions 2 min. Tier 2 Small Group min. Teacher Log Narrative Text The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark written by Ken Geist Narrative Text The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark written by Ken Geist Informational Text Sharks written by Gail Gibbons Informational Text Sharks written by Gail Gibbons Day Teacher choice from Menu Each day, spend 2-3 min. in whole-group introducing these or other related center activities or cognitive transition. Science Center Help children create a fish habitat and examine the fish s characteristics and activities. You might assign children jobs such as feeding the fish or helping clean the water. Provide seashells and coral to examine and compare. Library Center After Monday, the text and the Tier 2 story retelling activity cards from The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark can be placed in the classroom library for role-playing. After Thursday, the book Sharks can be placed in the classroom library for children to examine the illustrations or to review unread pages to interested children. Writing Center Have children draw a picture and write/provide dictation about sharks and ocean animals. To encourage extended writing/drawing, show children how to create a sticker story in which they select 3-4 ocean stickers and draw their own ocean scene around these stickers of fish, dolphins, beach balls, or other ocean stickers. Cognitive Transition During a transition sing and act out this patterned song: Five little fish swimming in the sea, teasing Mr. Shark saying You can t catch me! Along came Mr. Shark as quiet as could be and he snapped that fish right out of the sea. The song repeats with four fish, three, two, one, and no fish. 1. Narrative COM 2. Find VOC 3.

When we retell a story, we want to say all the important things that happened in the book. (Child s name), do you remember what happened first in this story? Continue with all students and ask what happened first, second, third, etc. Use the book to support their retelling by showing pages as children speak. After you have reviewed (but not reread) the entire story, explain to students that you will draw a character card and assign them each a role to play. As you assign character roles remind students about the character s personality and/or feelings because this will help them act out the part. You could say: Good storytellers make their body and voice sound like the character they are playing. When I give you a character, tell me what that character might act like or sound like. Help children understand that the shark might sound strong, mean, or hungry. The fish might sound scared and they might tremble. Help children to retell the story in their own words. During their turn, hand children the setting cards that show the kinds of houses the fish built/the shark destroyed. Encourage all children to say the repetitive lines. When you have fun and are dramatic in acting, your students will be more likely to use rich, dramatic language too. Mix 3 vocabulary cards and quickly review vocabulary definitions 2. Show: card. 3.
