Toys Galore

Product Information

During Work Time C, look for opportunities to support students as they draw and label classroom toys. Consider seating those who have yet to master descriptive language and vocabulary near the attributes anchor charts. This lesson builds upon students' knowledge and understanding of the attributes of various classroom toys. During Work Time C, as students draw classroom toys and label those drawings, they rely on their growing vocabulary of descriptive language.

Briefly review the directions for the game and expectations for safe and courteous movement in the classroom. Remind students which side of the room they should travel to for "A" preferences, which side of the room they should travel to for "B" preferences and that they should stay in their spots if they prefer neither choice. Some ELLs may find Toys Galore challenging, as it contains a lot of new vocabulary. The design of the lesson includes plenty of opportunities for comprehension through movement. It may benefit some students to return to these opportunities for movement as they interact with realia. 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.Invite students to take out their imaginary bows and take aim at the learning target as they recite the "Learning Target" poem with you. After 5 minutes, direct students' attention to the Drawing and Labeling Toys: Student Response Sheet at their tables.
