Sing With Me We are going to listen to a song about astronauts exploring space. We are going to listen to a song about astronauts exploring space. Listen for the words ascend, descend, and orbit as you sing. Listen for the words ascend, descend, and orbit as you sing.

ascend as – cend When you ascend, you go up. Jo saw the plane ascend quickly. It took climbers a long time to ascend the highest mountain. How do you ascend stairs?

descend de – scend When you descend, you go down. Astronauts descend when they come down from space in their space shuttles. You descend when you walk downstairs. Show me how an airplane would descend in landing.

orbit or – bit An orbit is the path of something like a spacecraft or planet around something in space, such as Earth or the sun. Earth orbits the sun, and the moon orbits Earth. Imagine you and a partner are a planet and the sun. Show me how the planet makes an orbit.

Science in Reading Key Features of expository text: – –It is about real people, things, or events – –It explains an object or idea – –It gives facts and details – –It has special features, or graphic features, such as heading and captions that help readers understand the text.

Science in Reading Look at page 76 in your Reading books. Preview and Predict what we might learn from “A Trip to Space Camp”. What clues helped you make that prediction?

Science in Reading Good readers look for text features to help them understand important ideas. In “A Trip to Space Camp,” I notice special text features such as photos and labels. I will use these to help me understand. When I read, I think about what the selection or part of it is all about. For example, I think about the main idea on page 77. At first, I think it may be that some space camps are for adults and some for teens, but then I know that these are details. What do you think is the main idea of this page?

Fluency Turn to page 67 in your Reading books. Follow along as I read these pages. Now you read with me.

Listening and Speaking Good speakers do several things: Speak slowly and clearly Have proper posture; they sit or stand tall Raise their hand to speak; speak when called on Speak loudly enough to be heard Make eye contact with their audience

Listening and Speaking Good listeners do several things: Pay attention to the speaker Sit quietly and are polite Face the speaker Take turns

Listening and Speaking (p.49f) When I’m teaching, I try to be a good speaker. I stand up tall and look directly at you. When I talk, I speak slowly and clearly so that all of you can understand me. As I listen to you speak, I sit quietly and face you to show that I’m paying attention to what you’re saying. I know that sometimes it’s hard to wait for your turn to speak. But good listeners wait politely and then add what they want to say.

Research and Inquiry Synthesize We began our inquiry by asking the question: What can we learn by exploring space? To find the answer we asked more questions. We answered many questions and found out many new things about exploring space.

Research and Inquiry Synthesize My first question was: What is Mars like? At first we answered that it had huge craters. At first we answered that it had huge craters. Now that we have heard “Mission to Mars,” we can add that Mars is extremely cold. Now that we have heard “Mission to Mars,” we can add that Mars is extremely cold. Asking and answering questions like these have helped us discover many things we can learn by exploring space, so we don’t need to revise our inquiry question.
