Phonological Awareness: Producing Rhymes
I say a word and roll a ball to a child for them to produce a word that rhymes with mine. The rest of the class determines whether the word is real or nonsense.

The children will be exposed to a variety of skills with this big book:
~Build academic vocabulary and concepts related to frogs.
~Determine text importance.
~Use a graphic organizer.
~Identify nonfiction text features: table of contents and glossary.
DAILY 5: Take a look at how we rotate which DAILY 5 component the kids go to. Each group of names is rotated clockwise after approximately 10-15 minutes. Most days we are able to do 3 rounds of DAILY 5.
