Let’s Reflect!
Ask students to reflect on their day or an
event from their day that stands out in
their mind. Have them write a short self-
reflection. This could include stating what
went well during the day, what they might
wish had gone differently, how they can use
the knowledge they gained, or what they
enjoyed most about the day.

each group place the index cards on a table or the floor with the words facing
down. Ask students, one at a time, turn over two cards to try to find matching
words. Have them read the word aloud as they turn it over. If students find a
match, they must tell what the word means to keep their matched cards. The
student in each group with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.
Practice Tactics
Have students open their Practice Book to page 53. Read the directions aloud
and have students read along with you. Explain the directions and model the activity.
Then, have students complete the page as independent class work or homework.
Home Connection
Write the Key Vocabulary on the board randomly for students to alphabetize.
Distribute Blackline Masters 2a and 2b. If necessary, review with students
how to fold the sheet to create a booklet. Provide more folded sheets if
necessary. Ask students to complete the first page by writing their names,
date, My Dictionary, and subject area. Have them write the words on the
remaining pages in a column. Remind students to add each word’s part of
speech. Have them check their work by looking up the correct information
in their dictionaries, and that they have to read each word and explain its
meaning to their parents or guardians. Remind them to return their booklets
to school. Retain them for future use.
