What is Juneteenth?
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 3, 4, 5, Activities
What is Juneteenth? is a 4th grade leveled book (Level Q) that talks about this special day in honor of ending slavery. Although slavery still flourished after the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached year three of the Civil War, Juneteenth officially put an end to it. General Granger, a Union general during the Civil War, spoke in Texas in 1865 about freedom for all Blacks, emphasizing that all persons held as slaves are free. Not every state in the U.S. celebrates this holiday today, but many states do as well as other countries throughout the world. The leveled Q reader discusses key concepts about freedom and slavery. It also helps expand students’ vocabulary with a rich set of words to tell the story of this significant day. Included in the Leveled Reader What is Juneteenth? are 2 pages of follow-up questions for students to explore and discuss after reading the story. Students also define key words used in the text and expand their creative and critical thinking skills when completing the extension exercises. The text itself is 3 pages. The reader is a perfect complement to a Social Studies unit that addresses such concepts as freedom, equality, and U.S. holidays and celebrations. Many key areas cited by the National Council for the Social Studies are interrelated through reading this text, primarily: Culture Time, Continuity, and Change People, Places, and Environments Individuals, Groups, and Institutions Power, Authority, and Governance Civic Ideals and Practices

Guided Reading Level K - Secret Life of Hamsters (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Pre-Reading, Language Development, Life Sciences, Science, Vocabulary, Animals, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - The Secret Life of Hamsters (Level K) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Secret Life of Hamsters Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Hamster traits, habits, and needs Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): K What This Book Teaches Best Explains what hamsters are and what animal group they belong to (small mammals; rodents). Describes how hamsters move and store food using cheek pouches. Teaches how hamsters stay safe in the wild by digging underground burrows to sleep and hide. Explains eating habits and body needs (herbivores; teeth that keep growing and must be worn down).
