if you want to remember a big snowstorm, obviously you cannot paste a snowflake into your scrapbook! Instead, you could glue in a picture of a snowflake or a photo of yourself and your friends playing in the snow. You could also cut a snowflake out of paper. Then you could use that cutout to decorate your page about the snowstorm. A scrapbook holds things that are important to you. It is a special book that helps you to remember people, places, and events.

Day One Supporting ELs
To reinforce the meanings of compound words, draw rough sketches of words that can be easily illustrated on the chalkboard, such as lighthouse, baseball, ballpark. Help students read each compound word and match it to the sketches.
Blending Practice If some students have difficulty reading the compound words, help them read each word. For example, point to the word sometime on the chalkboard. Show how you divide the word into the two smaller words, some/time. Explain that you now have two smaller words. Read each word and then blend the two words together, for example, some/time: sometime. Continue to support students who need help with blending throughout the week, using the example words used in the lesson.
Review Homographs Focus Words: present, desert, tear, produce, boss Write the following sentence on the chalkboard and read it aloud: On my birthday, my best friend is going to present me with a present. Ask students to find a homograph pair in the sentence. If necessary, remind them that homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings. Once students have identified the homographs, remind them that sometimes these words have the same spelling but are pronounced differently. Ask several students to use desert in oral sentences that demonstrate both meanings of the word. Have students work with a partner and use the remaining homographs listed above in oral sentences. Ask a few students to share their homograph sentences.
Introduce Compound Words Model Write the words day and time on the chalkboard. Hold up both cards. Say: When I combine the words day and time I create the compound word daytime. Write daytime on the chalkboard. Compound words are formed by joining two, or more, smaller words to make a new word. Sometimes, the meaning of the smaller words can help you with the meaning of the compound word. The word daytime means a time in the day.
Guide Write the following words on the chalkboard: light, dream. Have students help you combine these words with day to make new compound words (daylight, daydream). Point out the common words in the compound words daytime, daylight, daydream. Ask volunteers to explain the meaning of the new compound words and tell how the smaller words provide a clue to the meaning of the larger words. Ask other volunteers to use each new compound word in a sentence. Reinforce the spelling rules by showing students the anchor poster and going over examples on the poster with them.

6/9/10 1:16:08 AM
Spelling Compound Words Unit Spelling Words: sometime, anytime, lighthouse, daylight, touchdown, downtown, baseball, ballpark Write these words on the chalkboard: sometime, anytime. Draw a line between the two smaller words and ask students to say each smaller word and then say each compound word. Tell students that many times the two smaller words are words that they already know how to read and spell. Say the word lighthouse. Ask students to tell you what the two smaller words are and to spell each small word. As they spell each small word, write each word on the chalkboard to create the compound word lighthouse. Say the words day and light. Ask students to combine the two words and say the compound word. Have them spell the new compound word, daylight, as you write it on the chalkboard. Repeat with the remaining spelling words, saying each word, asking students to tell you the small words in the compound words, and then spell each small word as you write the compound word on the chalkboard. Ask students to copy the spelling words into their word study notebooks. Have them circle each small word within the compound words.
Assessment Tip Note which students can successfully combine the two smaller words to create a new compound word. Also note if they can recognize the two small words that make up the compound word. If students are having difficulty, help them create a reminder chart such as the one below. Small Words
Compound Word
some
time
sometime
base

baseball
Providing Support Write compound word equations on the chalkboard for students to solve. Help them put the two smaller words together and then write the compound word that they make—for example, base + ball = baseball, any + time = anytime.
Home/School Connection Students can take home a list of the spelling words and practice reading, writing, and spelling the words with a family member.

Day Two Providing Support If students are having difficulty recognizing and reading any of the compound words, provide additional opportunities for them to work with compound words that have the same base word.
Review Compound Words Write the words bedroom and bedtime on the chalkboard. Ask students to turn to a partner and say each compound word and the two smaller words that make up each compound word. Have them explain how compound words are formed. Ask them what common word the two words have. Have students work with a partner to brainstorm a list of compound words.

Pattern Sort Teacher Word Cards: same as BLM 3 Teacher Category Cards: bed, ball, light Remind students that compound words are formed from two or more smaller words. Place the category cards bed, ball, and light in a pocket chart. Hold up the cards lighthouse and moonlight so that students can see them. Think aloud: When I look at these two compound words, I see a common word, light. The meanings of these words must have something to do with light. Moonlight is light from the moon and a lighthouse is a tower that flashes a light out to sea for ships. When I’m able to recognize a common word in compound words, it helps me to understand the compound words and also helps me spell the compound word. I will put these two words under the word light, because they both have this common word. Repeat with the word bedroom.
Home/School Connection
Have students help you sort the remaining cards from BLM 3, explaining why each word belongs in each category.
Have students take home BLM 6 to complete with a family member. Students can also take home the word cards and share their sorts with a family member.
Give each pair of students a set of word cards from BLM 4, as well as the category cards house, back, down. Have them sort the words into the appropriate categories.
Supporting ELs
Spelling. Have students use the spelling words from Day One and write sentences using each word. Remind them to think about the two smaller words that make up the compound word.
Because some ELs may not have someone at home who speaks English well enough to work with them on BLM 6, make sure that they understand what they are supposed to do on the BLM.

6/9/10 1:16:09 AM
Day Three Buddy Sort Teacher Word Cards: anybody, someone, everything, anytime Remind students that many compound words have similar words within them. Place the words anybody, someone, and everything in a pocket chart so that students can see them. Ask students to say each word. Hold up the word card anytime. Say: The word anytime contains the small word any, and so does the word anybody. I will place the word anytime in the pocket chart under anybody. The word any means “a number without telling exactly how many.” So anybody means “any person” and anytime means “at any time regardless of the hour or date.” Give each pair of students a set of the word cards from BLM 5, as well as the category cards any, some, and thing. Have students work with a partner to sort the compound words under the compound word that has a similar smaller word. Tell students that some of the words can be sorted under more than one of the categories. Have students write the words in their word study notebooks under the correct category words. After students have sorted the words, ask them how they might sort the remaining cards. Students might suggest sorting the words under the word card everything: everyday, everybody, everywhere, everyone. Blending. Select a compound word card such as everyday and model blending the two words together. Say: When I’m blending a compound word, I look for the two little words and then blend the two words together. For example, I say the words every and day and then blend the words together to read everyday. Blending the two smaller words helps me to hear the two parts in the compound word. Applying Meaning. Give students BLM 7 and have them complete the cloze by selecting the correct compound word to complete the sentence and then make compound words from a list of single words. Tell students that the words will come from any of the word sorts that they have done. Remind them to pay attention to the way the words are spelled.

Assessment Tip Note which students are able to identify the two words that make up a compound word. Also note if they are able to recognize common base words in compound words. Provide extra practice for students having difficulty.
Providing Support ELs and struggling readers may have difficulty completing BLM 7 on their own. Have them work with a partner to read and complete it.
Home/School Connection Give students BLM 8 to complete with a family member. Explain that they are to do the same thing they did on BLM 7 in class.
Supporting ELs Make sure that ELs understand what to do on BLM 8 since there may not be anyone at home who speaks English well enough to help them complete it.

You can tape or glue anything small and flat onto a page in your scrapbook. For example, you could tape a ticket from a basketball or a football game in your scrapbook. You could place these next to a photo of yourself watching the game, or playing in the game. You might also tape a newspaper article about the game on the same page. Maybe you wrote a poem about the game or the sport. You could put the poem in, too. Together, all of these things will help you remember what it was like to be at that game. Whatever you put in a scrapbook, it has to be something that can last a long time. For example, if you get a haircut, you can put a lock of your hair into a plastic bag and tape it inside your scrapbook. However, if you want to remember a big snowstorm, obviously you cannot paste a snowflake into your scrapbook!

Home/School Connection Have students take the reading passage on BLM 9 home to read to a family member and point out the compound words.
Supporting ELs Make sure ELs know the meanings of the spelling words. Before student pairs use BLM 11, have the partners tell each other oral sentences using the spelling words. Write several compound words for familiar objects in the classroom on selfstick notes and have students match the compound words to the classroom object: for example, bookcase, chalkboard, doorway, and notebook.
Spelling Practice Give pairs of students Spelling Peer Check (BLM 11). While one student reads the spelling words, the other student writes the words in the First Try column. After the second student has spelled the words, the first student places a check mark next to words spelled correctly. For the second try, the first student may prompt the second student by sounding out the words that were spelled incorrectly the first time. If the second spelling attempt is correct, the first student places a check mark in the Second Try column. Then have the students switch roles.

Answer Key Unit 1 Quick-Check
Suggestions for Independent Practice Make Words. Provide students with copies of BLMs 3, 4, and 5. Have them cut the compound words apart and then make as many words from the single words as they can. Ask them to make a list of the new words they were able to make and share their list with a friend. Same or Different. Have pairs of students look through the compound words from BLMs 3–5. Ask them to sort the words into those whose meaning is the same as, or similar to, the two smaller words. Then sort the words into those whose meaning is different from the two smaller words (piggyback, backward). Picture It. Ask students to select three or four compound words, illustrate each smaller word, and then illustrate the compound word. For example, students might illustrate piggyback by drawing a pig and a back, and then drawing someone riding piggyback. Word Hunt. Have students look through classroom books, magazines, newspapers, and so on to find and list examples of compound words. Create a classroom list of all the compound words they find.
