ELA+Skills-Nursery+Rhymes

__**Phonemic Awareness**__ is taught through two main resources: 1) a Nursery Rhymes unit that was written at Chets Creek and 2) the county issued [|Michael Heggerty's Phonemic Awareness] The Nursery Rhymes are meant to be taught daily one-nursery-rhyme-a-week as the Warm Up activity for the Shared Reading, as described at the end of Lucy Calkins" "We Are Readers, Unit 1." Michael Heggerty's Curriculum is meant to be used as part of the Skills Block or as an intervention for students who are struggling with phonemic awareness.

**__NURSERY RHYMES__** //The activities below are meant to supplement the original unit, "Nursery Rimes/ Skills-Phonemic Awareness" which is available on the school's closed K-1 Assessment wiki. While the goal of this unit is to teach phonemic awareness skills early in the year with words that are familiar to the children, from Nursery Rhymes, there is also an emphasis on tying the Nursery Rhymes to comprehension such as retelling that is also being explored in "Star Books" (also called "Old Favorites") at this same time. Below are some resources to support the retelling of the Nursery Rhymes.//
 * __Nursery Rhyme booklet__ to give students to practice "reading" and to color during independent reading. Copy these pages to put inside a folder with brads for a [[file:Nursery Rimes pic and rhymes.doc|Nursery Rhyme booklet]]. These are [[file:Nursery Rhyme labels.doc|Nursery Rhyme labels]] (Avery 8163) for the cover.

 * __Jack and Jill__**
 * a cover page for a Nursery rhyme booklet and [|one sheet with the rhyme] and colored picture (also includes other rhymes)
 * [|rhyme with black and white illustration]
 * another idea for a Nursery rhyme booklet is to have the rhyme typed on the top half of each page and on the bottom, invite students to illustrate the rhyme. This will show their comprehension of the "story." Before students begin illustrating, list the things that they should have in their picture. For instance, they should have Jack, Jill, a hill, pail. After students have completed their drawings, the individual things can be labeled. This can be done for each rhyme.
 * a [|rebus]version of the rhyme that would be good to send home, to use as a shared reading, or to put in a Nursery Rhyme booklet for independent reading time

 * Use this original poem that can be illustrated on a flannel board with 5 different colored ovals that are cut into two pieces or students can cut their own oval eggs from construction paper, cut them in half, place them in an envelope with the poem written on a label sticker for the front to demonstrate for family Since this unit is about phonemic awareness, encourage the student to identify the rhyming words. After students have practiced the poem, stop expectantly before the rhyming word each time and invite the students to fill in the word together.
