This is a cross-curricular activity that uses the story Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday to practice money and decimal skills in addition to reading and writing skills. After reading or hearing the story, students will complete the attached worksheet. (If it's read aloud, students would need a way to refer back to the story to answer the questions. The worksheet has a mixture of reading and math questions. It can be edited if you choose. It can be used for either 3rd or 4th grade. With slight modifications, it could also be used for middle school EL students to learn about currency.  

This is a follow-up lesson after the students understand a complete sentence and its parts (subject and predicate). Students will add missing subjects or predicates to make complete sentences. Students will begin the sentences with capital letters and end them with punctuation marks. This mini-lesson follows the "I DO, WE DO, YOU DO" approach.

  Students will locate fragments and correct fragments within a written piece of text. 

Through questioning, students will recognize the subject and predicate parts of a sentence-Who or What is the sentence about? What is the subject doing? Students will separate sentences into their subject and predicate parts.

This is an introductory lesson in which students will learn to distinguish between a complete sentence and a fragment by determining if there is a subject and predicate. Students will identify and sort as complete or fragment. This lesson follows the "I Do, We Do, You Do" approach.
