====// 1. ( //// Phonics //// ): Using the phonograms –ar, -arm, and –ark, put stickers on cubes and have students build words (the phonograms should be on different colored cubes to “stand out”). Students then record their words on a template. (attachment: cube stickers, template) //====

====// 5. ( //// Phonics //// ): Give students word cards that have “bark” “farm,” and “star” on them. Students read each word and brainstorm rhyming words for each one, writing them on sticky notes and placing it underneath the word cards. If this is independent, have students use the templates. //====

====// 6. ( //// Phonics/Writing //// ): Students use the “ar” phonograms to create rhyming poems (The shark liked to take a swim in the park.). Students write and illustrate their rhyming poems/sentences. //====

====// 8. ( //// Phonics //// ): Students imagine they are growing word flowers on their farm. They then divide a sheet of paper in three sections and write one of the phonograms at the top of each section: -ar, -arm, -ark. Students draw three flowers in each section, then find words to write in their flowers for each section. (Lower readers: modify by giving them a word list). //====

__ Grammar Activities: __ Proper Nouns 1. Have students either bring in pictures of pets or cut out pictures of animals out of magazines. Students label these pictures on a bulletin board with names, to emphasize how names are proper nouns and begin with a capital letter.

2. Students use an atlas to find 5 place names and write them on index cards or sticky notes (make sure there is a capital letter at the beginning!). Extension 1: The class then sorts the places into city, country, or continent. Extension 2: Students then put the cards/notes in alphabetical order.

3. Write sentences on the board that have no capital letters for the proper nouns. Student volunteers underline and correct the sentences. Then, have small groups write “incorrect” sentences (that you just modeled) to trade with another group to correct.
