COMPREHENSIONSkill: Sequence Authors usually try to tell the events of a
story in the order they happen. Retell the order of events in A Big Fish for Max.
As you read, think about the order in which things happen.
Ask yourself what happens first, next, and last.
Strategy: Monitor and Fix Up Good readers often ask themselves if they
understand a story. If something seems confusing or is not clear, a good reader will go back and read a part of a story again.
COMPREHENSIONAsk yourself these questions
as you read The Big Circle? What is happening in this
part of the story? Should I reread this part to
understand it?

Writing Trait of the WeekIntroduce:
Organization/Paragraphs Good writers organize their ideas so that they make sense. Think about how the author organizes ideas in The Big Circle.
These sentences tell about the events in order. Words such as first, next, then, and finally help us follow the order of the events.
First, T. Rex wakes up hungry.Next, T. Rex runs toward the triceratops.Then the triceratops make a big circle.
Finally, T. Rex runs away.
Writing Trait of the WeekIntroduce:
Organization/Paragraphs Write the sentences in the order in which the events happened. Add a time-order word to each sentence.
_____ the triceratops stand in a circle._____ the herd drives T. Rex away._____ the herd sees T. Rex._____ T. Rex smells the triceratops.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GRAMMAR – DAYS, MONTHS, AND HOLIDAYS
Days of the week, months of the year, and some special days have names. When we write the names of days, months, or holidays we need to use capital letters at the beginning.
Using the names of days, months, and holidays can make your writing more clear.
day month holidayMonday January New Year’sTuesday February Valentine’s
DayWednesday March Mother’s Day
Wrap Up Your Day!
The events in a story
happen in a certain order. Remembering the events in
order helps us understand
and remember the
story.
A good reader often pauses to
think about what is happening and to ask, “Does this
make sense?” Sometimes a good
reader needs to stop, go back, and
read a part of a story over again
to help make sense of the
reading.
What happened first, next, and last
when the triceratops saw the T.
Rex?
Preview Day Four
Tomorrow we will read
about a trip a group of
children took to see
dinosaurs in a museum.
