In this SEL presentation, you will get a 5 slide Google Slide Presentation. This was originally created for remote learning, however you can adapt this for in the classroom as well. On the second slide, there is a read aloud that I created for the book My Cold Plum Lemon Pie Bluesy Mood by Tameka Brown. This is a wonderful book about a boy with many different feelings, emotions, and moods throughout the book. On the 3rd slide, there is access to a digital spinner with many different feelings on it. Once you click on the spinner in presentation mode, it will create a new tab, scroll down for the large spinner with a variety of feelings on it. When you click on the spinner, it will move and make spinner sounds. You can choose a student to come to the board or your computer to click it to stop. When it stops there will be a feeling on the screen. You can have students turn and talk about when they have felt that way, you could have them talk in groups, you could do it whole classroom and students can raise their hand. Play as many rounds as you have time for. Next on slide 4 the students can do a feelings scavenger hunt where they find something in the classroom (or home if it remote) that reminds them of that feeling. There is animated picture of feelings that come up on the screen. This gets kids up and moving in the classroom and having fun. Finally, on the last slide you will have access to a homework sheet to pass out to students called Inside/Outside Feelings Scavenger Hunt. Students can take this home and fill it out. They will answer prompts for; That makes you feel silly?, What reminds you of a trip, etc. There are 12 prompts for them to answer.

This Guided Reading Book - The Hidden World of Viruses (Level M) 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 Hidden World of Viruses Genre: Nonfiction (informational science text) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: What viruses are and how they spread Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): M What This Book Teaches Best Viruses are extremely tiny and require powerful microscopes to study. Viruses come in different shapes (round, rod-like, and multi-sided). A virus is not considered fully living and must find a living cell to begin its work. Viruses carry genetic material (DNA or RNA) that provides instructions for how the virus functions. How viruses infect cells, make copies, leave the cell, and how antibodies and vaccines help protect the body. Learning Goals Students will explain why scientists use microscopes to study viruses. Students will describe at least two shapes viruses can have, based on the text. Students will explain why a virus needs a host cell and what happens when it attaches to one. Students will describe how a cell becomes a “biological factory” that produces new viruses. Students will describe how new viruses leave a cell and spread into the surrounding environment. Students will explain how antibodies and vaccines help the body recognize and stop viruses. Key Vocabulary From the Text microscopic — so tiny you need a microscope to see it. particles — very small bits or pieces of something. genetic — related to information inside living things. antibodies — proteins the body makes to help stop viruses. vaccines — help train the body to recognize and stop invaders. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: Why might something too small to see still matter a lot to people? Comprehension questions: What does the book say viruses do that makes microscopes necessary for scientists? Comprehension questions: After a virus pushes its genetic material into a cell, what does the message tell the cell to do? Comprehension questions: How do antibodies help keep viruses from entering any more cells? Printing Tips 1.

How a major river can divide a city and lead to bridges being built to connect districts. How landforms and green spaces (like Purple Mountain’s forests) can help keep a city’s air clean and support plant life. How human-built features (the ancient city wall) can follow natural geography like hills and lakes. How climate and seasons change a city’s landscape through spring blossoms, autumn leaf color, and summer shade from “green tunnels.” Learning Goals Students will describe where Nanjing is located and what major river it sits along. Students will explain why bridges were built across the Yangtze River in Nanjing. Students will identify Purple Mountain and explain how its forests help the city. Students will describe how Nanjing’s ancient city wall follows the natural geography of the land. Students will describe one role Xuanwu Lake plays (islands/bridges or collecting rainwater). Students will describe how Nanjing’s humid subtropical climate connects to changes across seasons. Key Vocabulary From the Text districts — parts of a city. subtropical — warm climate, often with lots of humidity. transformation — a big change. fertile — good for plants to grow. geography — land features of a place. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How might rivers and hills help a city grow and change? Comprehension questions: Where does the text say Nanjing is located, and what river runs through it?
