Meeting Students’ Needs
For ELLs and students who may need additional support with planning: (Providing Think Time) Before beginning the Pinky Partners protocol, allow time for students to think about their research about feathers and beaks using charts displayed in the room. (MMAE, MME)
For ELLs: (Using Sentence Frames) Use sentence frames to prompt sharing and discussing and to model standard syntax during the Pinky Partners protocol. Examples:
– “Birds use their beaks to ________.”
– “Birds use their feathers to ________.”

Ask:
“What is the name for Simon Says in your home language?” (Responses will vary.)
Tell students that for Bird Simon Says, they will listen as the teacher calls out certain bird movements for them to follow. Remind students that they should perform each movement only if it is preceded by the words “Bird Simon says ...” (Example: “Bird Simon says, ap your wings like a hummingbird.”)
If they do not hear the words “Bird Simon says,” they should stand quietly in their spot without moving. If they move without hearing the words “Bird Simon says,” they are out of the game and should quietly sit down in their spot.
Invite students to join you in playing.
