Schools and Community
Opening
A. Song and Movement: “What Is School?” Song (10 minutes)
■ Gather students whole group.
■ Display the What Is School? song.
■ Remind students that the last time they sang this song, they practiced to make sure they were singing loudly enough and clearly enough for others to hear. Tell them that today they are going to pay attention to something new.
■ Explain that when performers sing a song, they make sure they sing at the correct speed. This means that they shouldn’t sing the song too quickly or too slowly but at just the right speed. This will help people understand the words you are singing and make sure you are singing all together.
■ Tell students that as they sing the “What Is School?” song today, they are going to practice singing at the right speed.
■ Invite students to sing the song one or two times from start to nish with you, focusing on singing at the right speed.
■ Give students speci c positive feedback for singing at the correct speed. (Example: “You didn’t sing too fast or too slow. You sang at the correct speed.”)
■ Direct students’ attention to the posted learning targets and read the rst one aloud:
“I can answer questions using key details about the solution in ‘Out of the Rubble’ from
O to Class.”
■ Remind them that they worked with this same section of the text yesterday. Invite students to whisper the answer in their hand and ask:
“What are the details in this section of text going to help you gure out?” (the solution)
Meeting Students’ Needs
■ For ELLs: Identify udents who might be mouthing the words or not singing while the class sings chorally. If udents seem to be avoiding singing, encourage them to sing without pressuring them. If udents are comfortable, invite them to sing “duets” with more con dent udents so they can more easily hear them- selves as they practice. (MMAE)
■ When discussing rategies for singing, provide options for perception by audio recording the class singing the “What Is School?” song and playing it back to the group. Allow udents to identify rengths and things to work on when singing as a group. (MMR)
