It was almost the end of the school day. She looked at the class and said, ” Okay “Can Dos’ who is up for working on some Halloween mazes?” A cheer went up! The “Can Dos” love mazes.
Teacher Pat was having a hard time finding things to keep the “Can Do” kids interested. She announced, “Everyone go to the computers in the back of the room and let’s explore some environmental health sciences.”
” Huh,” said Bobby, “what’s that?” Teacher Pat smiled and said, “Just go to http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/science/index.htm and you can see for yourself!”
“Wow!” yelled Annie,” this site has games, and stories and activities about our environment. It is really cool.”
Boys and girls, be Can Do” kids and discover for yourselves all the interesting things there are to learn and do on http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/science/index.htm
Why not print out the jumble and find the words listed below in the jumble?
Miss Pat was concerned that the “Can Dos” were having problems with identifying the main idea in stories. Here is a story she gave the “Can Dos” to help them recognize the main idea.She also asked them to find misspelled word or words that need to be capitalized. Why not try the activity and see how well you do?
The story:
Mark trys to be friendes with Jim, the new boi in school. First, Mark smiles at Jim in the lunch room. Mark has a dog. Then, he plays with Jim after lunch. Finally, he shares a seat with Jim on the school bus.
By the end of the day…
Directions:
Underline sentences in the middle that have details that say more about the main idea.
Circle the words that are misspelled or need to begin with a capital letter.
Write an ending for the end of the story.
Be sure and have your parent or older brother or sister check your work to see how you did.
“Take your seats at your computer stations and beginning playing the Halloween matching games,” said Miss Pat.
Why not play along? Just go to the “Can Do”: Club House, choose games and choose Halloween games.
