Author’s Purpose Give each table of students a collection of books (6-10/variety). Tell students to sort the books but don’t tell them how. Allow time for each group to sort. Tell them another way to sort is by author’s purpose (information, persuade, entertain). Discuss how we can tell the purpose. || Sts. make an “All About Book”– to inform- Sts. choose a topic they are experts at and create a book. The book must include a title, table of contents, page numbers, at least 2 chapters, and a glossary. || Sts. share “All About books” with their reading group. Review text features with teacher using a non-fiction book with text features. Point out the features. || ** Additional activities: **

** Math: Measurement: Weight & Capacity ** Lg. containers, paper cups, sand or water; Dishpans, rice, paper cups, other containers ||  || Env. **18-5 and 18-6** __Materials:__ balance scale, small objects, 1 pound obj (1 lb. box of 10X or brown sugar) & 1 ounce object (a slice of bread, couple of marbles), classroom objects. ||  ||
 * Objectives: Children will use non-standard & customary units (including metric) to estimate & measure containers by their capacities and objects by their weight/mass. **
 * TEKS: ** See previous week
 * Assessment: ** Use Envision Test for Topic 18 on pg. 543. (Use Envision Test for Topic 17 on pg. 507)
 * //**Monday**// Children will use non-stnd units to estimate & measure containers by their capacity; they will estimate & measure the capacities of containers using non-stnd units. **Env. Lessons 18-1, 18-2** __Materials:__
 * **//Tuesday//** Children will estimate the capacities of objects & compare them to cups, pints, & quarts. Compare a qt. measurement to a liter. Note, like the meter stick is longer than a yardstick, so a liter holds a bit more than a qt.
 * Env. Lesson 18-3** May want to make the "Gallon Man" or the "Gallon Jar" comparing the standard measure of capacity comparisons. ||  ||
 * **//Wednesday//** Children will compare the weight of 2 objects by holding one in each hand or placing 1 on balance scale. (The library has no more; we will need to pool the ones we have on our team). Children will compare & estimate the weights of objects. using ounces & pounds.
 * //**Thursday**// Children will measure & compare objects that are more than, less than, or about 1 gram & 1 kilogram (metric) **Env. 18-7** __Materials:__ can of soup, balance scale, 1 gram obj. (lg paper clip), 1 kilg. obj. (small bag of flour), classroom objs. If time, review by completing **Env. 18-8** Sts will use different tools to measure length, capacity, & weight of objects. __Materials:__ paper clip, connecting cubes, balance scale, 1 lb. object, classroom objs. ||  ||
 * **//Friday// Env. Test 18 pg. 543** and/or complete unfinished work ||  ||

**Notes: From Investigations St. Activity book: Nonstnd unit of wt: pg. 49, 50, 55; units of capacity:51, 52, 58 ** Additional Books: __Room for Ripley__ (capacity) Gallery Walk Measurement (Marcy Cook- for inches and centimeters) cards we copied on cardstock


 * Science: Students will research and create a habitat that includes animals and plants that live within the habitat, describe how they depend on each other, and present their findings to the class. **

Teks:.5 **Science concepts**. The student knows that organisms, objects, and events have properties and patterns. The student is expected to: (A) Classify and sequence organisms, objects, and events based on properties and patterns. B) Identify, predict, replicate, and create patterns. Including those seen in charts, graphs, and numbers. **2.8 Science concepts.** The student distinguishes between living organisms and nonliving objects. The student is expected to: (A) Identify characteristics of living organisms.
 * 2.9 Science concepts . The student knows that living organisms have basic needs.** ** The student is expected to: **
 * (B)** ** Compare and give examples of the ways living organisms depend on each other and on their environments. **
 * Assessment: completed habitat project **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt;">Monday Watch Animals All Around Us (united streaming) or show and discuss a variety of habitats. I have some books in my room we can share. Put the students into 5 groups. Assign them a habitat (desert, ocean, rainforest, grasslands, tundra) The students are to choose 1 animal and 1 plant from their habitat. Use the books as a resource or go to the computer lab to the Animals site, the Science book also has a section (B9). Walk them through the recording sheet. Allow the students to work together to complete their sheets. ||   ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt;">Tuesday Continue to complete sheets. If students finish early, have the groups start to plan their habitats. Draw a picture of each of their chosen animals and plants that they are putting in their habitat. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt;">Wednesday Provide students with their shoe box and construction paper, and any additional craft items to create their habitat. They are expected to create their choosen animal and plant into the habitat. The students can use the books and recording sheets to help them. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt;">Thursday Continue to work on habitats. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt;">Friday Present the habitats to the class. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt;">Notes: **For additional research, you may want to go to the computer lab. Also gather together, or ask parents to donate 5 large show boxes and any other craft items to create the habitat. (Ex: craft sticks, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, toothpicks...)
