Toys Galore

Product Information

Tell students that they will listen to another section of the text in the next lesson and keep searching for words that show the ways we play with toys. Here, the author writes about bouncing a ball and stretching goo. I can see the pictures show someone bouncing the ball on the ground and someone stretching goo out into long and thin pieces." Explain that stretch means to pull something and make it longer and thinner. Place the Word Wall card and picture for stretch on the Toys and Play Word Wall. What are some other words and phrases that author uses to show how we can play with clay? What do the details in the pictures show us about playing with clay?" (squeeze, mold, sculpt, squish) If you’re hunting for fashion finds that support local businesses and small designers, you can browse plenty of beautiful boutiques throughout the area.

What does the word prefer mean? What does it mean to prefer something?" (to like one thing more than something else) Off the top of my head, I can think of three authors worth studying for learning how to write in rhyme for children's books: Karma Wilson, Jane Yolen and Peter Stein. Karma Wilson and Jane Yolen excel at regular metered rhyme; Peter Stein is also very good at it, too, but he is also very good at breaking up the meter, which is useful for longer stories in rhyme. Toys Galore is way fun to read out loud. During Closing and Assessment A, before providing sentence frames or additional support, observe student interaction as they share with one another and allow students to grapple. Provide supportive frames and demonstrations only after students have grappled with the task. Observe the areas in which they struggle to target appropriate support.

Usually about halfway through reading those books out loud, I will stop and just tell the story in prose. I read Toys Galore out loud, all the way through, and using the original text.They are always happy to assist if you are struggling to think of a gift to buy or if you simply want to know more about a particular toy. This toy shop has something that no other shop in Edinburgh has - an electric train that runs around the top of the shop. When visiting, feel free to ask if it's not already turned on. We have read lots of texts about toys. Today we are going to read Toys Galore again, but this time we are going to find some special words and phrases to help us become even more knowledgeable play experts." Encourage students to use a sentence frame: "I prefer _______ because ______" or "I like ______ best because ______." Tell students that there are a lot of ways we can play with toys and that in Toys Galore, the author uses lots of interesting words and phrases to show ways we can play with toys. Tell students that to build their play expertise, they will find words that describe the ways we can play with toys. Explain that it will be their job to listen for these words as you read Toys Galore. Tell them you will stop from time to time to let them share the words they hear.

As you closely examine the toy, think aloud about its attributes, focusing specifically on shape, and then draw what you see. For example: For ELLs: For students who may need additional support beginning their drawings, help them choose a toy or remind them about the toy they chose the day before. Assist them in drawing the outline of the toy and invite them to add detail.As students draw, circulate and provide support as needed. Remind them to closely examine the toys to make sure their descriptions and drawings include a lot of details. Point out the resources in the room that students may use to assist them: the attributes anchor charts, Classroom Toys chart, and Toys and Play Word Wall. For ELLs: Introduce a physical activity to illustrate the action of choosing. Example: Hold up the preference cards for chocolate and vanilla. Invite a student to the board to choose one. The student may take the card she chooses, but only after she says, "I prefer _______." Briefly remind students that a text is something they read, and details from the text are the words and pictures in the text.

Invite students to take out their imaginary bows and take aim at the learning target as they recite the "Learning Target" poem with you.
