Pages 54–55
• Display the Vocabulary Cards for pupil and iris.
• Have students find pupil and iris in the glossary, and read the definitions
together as a class.
• Note for students that pupil, pupils, iris, and irises are all used in this chapter.
• Ask students to read pages 54–55 to themselves to find the answer to the
question: “Why does the pupil in your eye get bigger and smaller?”
Challenge
Ask students to think of questions about vision that this chapter does not address.
54
Hello, I am Dr� Kwan Si-Yu� Are you ready to learn all about eyes?
Good!
The human eye has several parts� I’d like to start by showing you two parts you can see easily�
In the images on the right, you can see what eyes look like up close� The pupil is the black part in the center of the eye� The iris is the colorful part of the eye that surrounds the pupil�
The iris can be different colors� Some of you may have green eyes or brown eyes� When we say that a person has green eyes or brown eyes, it’s his or her irises we are talking about�
The pupil is not as colorful as the iris� It is always black, but it changes shape� When it is dark, the pupil gets bigger to let more light in� When it is very bright and sunny, the pupil shrinks to let less light in� How much light will be let into the inside of your eye depends on the shape of the pupil�
55
The top picture shows a large pupil, which is letting more light in. The bottom picture shows a small pupil, which is letting less light in.
Challenge sidebars provide ideas to engage students in more rigorous thinking, when appropriate.

Chapter Eyes and Vision7
For the past few days I have been talking to you about the body and its systems� Your teacher asked me if I could also tell you something about vision and hearing�
I told her I could� I know a little about vision and a little about hearing, but I am not an expert on either one� So, I told her I would bring in some friends of mine who know more about these subjects�
I have one of those friends with me today� His name is Dr� Kwan Si-Yu� He is a special kind of eye doctor called an optometrist� He can tell you all about the eyes and how they work�

Lesson 4: The Skeletal System: All About Bones, Part 2
Language Primary Focus: Students will spell words using spelling patterns and rules for
regular and irregular plural nouns. [L.3.2f]
Students will be able to identify correct use of prefixes dis– and mis–
correctly. [L.3.4b]
SPELLING: REGULAR AND IRREGULAR PLURAL NOUNS (15 MIN.)
• Review the spelling words that you introduced earlier this week using the
tables displayed on the board.
• Ask students to turn to Activity Page 3.3, which they completed at home
earlier in the week.
• Call on one student at a time to share a Blank Busters statement with the
class to see if students can fill in the blank with the correct spelling word form.
• Discuss the correct answer with the class and the correct spelling using the
tables of this week’s spelling words.
• Continue in this manner for the remaining time with other students’ Blank
Busters statements.
• Challenge Provide students with series of jumbled words that include extra
“decoy” letters. The first jumble has one extra letter, the second jumble has
two extra letters, etc. Make sure that students know how many extra “decoy”
letters each jumbled word has. Consider a maximum number of three
decoy letters.
MORPHOLOGY: PREFIXES DIS- AND MIS- (40 MIN.)
• Display the Prefix poster or project digital Projection DP.U3.L4.1.

Prefix
A prefix is a syllable placed in front of a root word. Prefixes change the
meaning of the root word.

Literacy Skills
Entering/Emerging Provide these students
with correct spellings of regular and irregular
singular and plural nouns. When one partner is
challenging the other partner, he or she has the correct spellings and can
provide support.
Transitioning/Expanding Provide students with a
word list that includes words spelled both
incorrectly and correctly. Students work in pairs to categorize the words and
correct the words with spelling errors.
Bridging Encourage students to
work with a partner. One partner says, “I have two k-n-i-v-e-s,” spelling theword with the ‘f’ to ‘ves’
change. The partner identifies the word as
“knives” and then says another sentence with
another irregular plural.

Language Studio: Overview
Categories of Skills
Directions: Read the descriptions of the categories below and jot your thoughts in response to the reflection question below.
Meaning Making: In Language Studio meaning making is the central purpose and ultimate goal of all the activities within a lesson. The ELD activities in Language Studio are crafted to help teachers guide students in constructing meaning through purposeful interaction with the text [Look Ahead; Rewind] and with each another. Students are exposed to intellectually motivating texts and tasks, along with strategies and support to ensure that they successfully engage with and work towards meeting the demands of the texts and tasks.
Language Development: A major focus of Language Studio is on learning and applying academic language. Students are explicitly taught the general academic (T2) as well as the domain-specific (T3) vocabulary necessary to engage with the text on a specific topic. Moreover, English learners practice choosing language resources and producing various text and grammatical structures.
Effective Expression: Language Studio provides ample opportunities and structure for English learners to communicate and collaborate in meaningful ways that require them to prepare for and participate in a range of academic work.
Content Knowledge: In Language Studio reciprocity is key. The units present content as students build literacy skills. Content is presented in a variety of ways, such as through interactive read-alouds, demonstrations, and discussions.
Foundational Skills: Developing foundational skills is crucial for achieving literacy. Foundational skills begin in Kindergarten with Phonological Awareness, Phonics and Word Recognition, Print Concepts, and Fluency. These skills are developed and built upon in the succeeding grade levels, which transition from basic code into advanced code and finally morphology. You will see Foundational Skills being supported in Integrated ELD in grades Kindergarten through fifth grade.
How will these categories of skills help support English Learners with CKLA instruction?

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning spring-cleaning his
little home: first with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps
and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash. He did this until he had
dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur.
Spring was moving in the air above and the earth below, and around him
and his dark and lowly little house. Any wonder he suddenly flung down
his brush on the floor, said “Bother!” and “O blow!” and also “Hang spring-
cleaning!” and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on
his coat.
