Prepare activities and games to help students become familiar with these word lists. Here are two examples for Days of the Week:
- Divide the class into seven groups. Give each group a large sheet of paper with a day of the week written at the top. Instruct students to think of things that they do on each day. Have one student in each group write down the ideas on the piece of paper. Later, have the groups share their lists.
- Make sets of flash cards of the seven days of the week. Divide the class into groups of seven. Distribute a card from one set to each student within a group and have them hold up their cards. Then tell the card holders to put themselves in the proper order, beginning with Sunday.
Enrichment Activity: Have students write stories and poems using some of the words from the following themes: weather (page 173), places (pages 176–177), parks (pages 178–179), and/or animals (pages 184–185).
Think About It
“Some words are short and some words are long, but they all are important.”
