Introduction

• Have students describe what they see on the cover, including in the background.

Word StudyStudents will use commas before coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences.

Write the following sentence on the board: Some of these things are natural, while others

were made by humans. Explain that this sentence is made up of two independent clauses

that could stand alone as their own sentences. (Some of these things are natural. Others

were made by humans.) Say, “Notice the word while. This word is called a coordinating

conjunction. It joins the two clauses. There are other coordinating conjunctions, such

as but, or, for, so, yet. What punctuation do you notice accompanies a coordinating

conjunction?” (comma) Read page 5 aloud, and have students look and listen for compound

sentences.

VocabularyCreate a map of the United States. Beginning with the words, erupt, desert, volcanoes,

erosion, and mesas, instruct students to label locations on the map where these landforms

and natural occurrences are likely to be found. For an added challenge, have students use

their background knowledge to label other types of landforms or natural occurrences.

Poem Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.

Then up Jack got and home did trot As fast as he could caper,

To old Dame Dob, who patched his nob, With vinegar and brown paper.

Jack and Jill…

I am Jack.

I am Jill.

Went up the hill…

I am the hill.

Parent Support (cont.)

Unit Introduction Dear Parents,We are beginning a new unit of study called Animals. Some children have animals

as pets in their homes. Even if you do not own a pet, your child comes into contact

with animals regularly. Your child may see a cat across the street, a bird splashing in

a puddle, or ants on the sidewalk. Children have a natural curiosity and interest in

learning about animals. This newsletter provides ideas for ways that you can support

your child as he or she becomes more aware of animals. Be sure to read the back of

this letter for fun activities to do with your child.

Sincerely,_______________________________
