· Each table will have a variety of clip art pictures of fish. The pictures of fish will also be on the document camera

Guided Practice
· Begin the lesson by gathering the students in a reading circle on the floor.
· Teacher will remind the students of what it takes to be a good listener: ears are listening, eyes on the speaker, hands are still, and feet are still. (Whole body listening)
· Teacher initiate a discussion about feelings and will ask the students if someone else’s mood ever affected their own and what kinds of things would they say to cheer another person up.
· This open discussion, will allow students to achieve a higher-level of thinking and will help them with the assignment by getting ideas from other students.
· After the students share their thoughts, the teacher will redirect the students’ focus back on the chant from the book.
· Teacher will guide the students through the independent practice worksheet, using the document camera.
