 * <  |||| Students will learn vocabulary about lumberjacks and what they do. ||

I will begin by reading the teacher read aloud for the problem solving theme of the the student's textbook. We will then read and discuss the background story about lumberjacks and the vocabulary that goes along with it. Students will read the first two pages and list the pros and cons of the problem in the story.

I realized how difficult it can me to have a reading group of 14. It is a lot of students to keep their attention and to keep them focused. It is also tough when they have a range of reading ability even if they are all on grade level.
