HEROES Teacher's Guide - Book - Page 227
To signal to the pupil to come back into the room, the class chants the “Knocking
on the Door” Chant (song #1.17) as you open the door.
1, 2, 3, 4, who is knocking at the door?
5, 6, 7, 8, come on in – it’s getting late.
9, 10, 9, 10, don’t be late for class again.
The pupil enters the room and looks for the object.
As they approach the object, the class says HOT. As they move away from the
object, the class says COLD.
When the pupil finds the object, they must say where it is, using a preposition:
The crayon is under the window. / The book is on the chair, etc.
If the pupil answers correctly, they choose the next pupil to play.
Do this several times with different pupils. Change the object you are hiding and
the hiding place each time.
This game can be played as a competition where two pupils from different teams
need to find the object before their competitor.
NOTE
This is a good opportunity to encourage typically non-participatory pupils to be
more active in the classroom activities.
New
•
Teach the new vocabulary using the flashcards.
Present each card one at a time and say the words: friend, help, numbers, write.
Have pupils repeat the words.
Phonemic Awareness
•
Say: Open your books to page 137.
•
Say: Look at #1. What numbers do you see? (Elicit: I see ten and
seven.)
•
Ask:
-
Do you hear the same sound at the beginning of the words
‘ten, seven’? (Elicit: no – /t/, /s/)
-
Do you hear the same sound at the end of the words ‘ten, seven’? (Elicit:
yes – /n/)
Have pupils "read" the pictures across each row out loud or to a partner to review
the words. Pupils should use their finger to follow the pictures as they move from left
to right.
