Begin today's activities by again reading Little Red Riding Hood to the class. If possible, provide students with copies of the story.   Involve the children by setting the scene, arousing interest and engaging the children in discussion.  Today's task should again examine two new words that can be utilized in activities.  Divide students into small groups  Students can work on individual tasks provided for the group, after reading and examining the book  with a partner.  Celebrate approximations in students unsure of text and remember... don't assume that students are following along and understand the task presented.  Many students at this stage of development do not understand many of the complicated tasks needed to "read."  Interaction and modeling is of utmost importance, when working in pairs and small groups. 

When  reading tasks are completed,  groups discuss characters, plot and  one of the most important things that happened  in the story.  Students can respond and you can write them on the board.  When the discussion is completed, have the students draw/write their conclusion in their reader response logs.
 
 

• During Science  connect the concept of good nutrition and Red Riding Hood's basket of goodies for grandmother .   Using this example, have students pretend that they are going to help Little Red Riding make a nutritious meal to take to her grandma's house.  Have students cut and paste healthy selections to put in the basket.
