Chester's Way

Product Information

RL.1 Read and comprehend a variety of literature within a range of complexity appropriate for grades 2-3. By the end of grade 2, students interact with texts proficiently and independently at the low end of the range and with scaffolding as needed at the high end.

T : Have students choose the information from the text they want to connect. Encourage students to express themselves in a manner of their choice. (verbal, pictorial, and/or written format) If students have difficulty, ask the child to focus on only one of the three areas (beginning, middle, or end) for the main idea/graphic organizer. Courtesy of Dee River Kayaking, visitors can now take to the River Dee for an exciting water sports excursion. Those looking for a mellow paddle, and perhaps a healthy dose of nature spotting, should consider a Calm Water Kayaking Trip, taking place on still water or areas with only a gentle flow. Those after something a little more extreme should choose a Grade 2 White Water experience, taking place around the mighty Chester Weir! Whichever variant you choose, be sure to meet your expert guide at Sandy Lane Car Park at your allocated time.The downstairs café area in CUPS is fully accessible (bar a slight lip on the door), and games can be played in this area if guests are unable to access the main gaming zone upstairs. Like Vertigo, the physical demands of Dee River Kayaking render it unsuitable for guests with mobility issues. Before commencing your Vertigo journey, you will be provided with safety equipment and a full briefing, and qualified instructors will supervise you once on the main course. Due to the physical demands of Vertigo, it is unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Today, I am going to stop a few times as I read the story and then ask you to turn and talk to your partner. Your Smart Partner job will be to share one important event from what you just heard in the story. You and your parnter may choose different events or might have the same idea. Either way is fine. I want you to start your conversation with this thinking stem, 'I'm thinking...'. Add this speech bubble to the Smart Partners anchor chart if it isn't already there. My job is to read the story. Who can remind us of what your job is? Allow student responses about the task and being a good listener/partner. Let's get started. Listen carefully as I read. students will help in the creation of a group anchor chart and will engage in the Smart Partners strategy. All students will complete a graphic organizer to demonstrate the ability to retell the main ideas from the beginning, middle and end of the story.

Chester without a doubt has his OWN WAY of doing things and living life. But fortunately for Chester, he is BLESSED with a friend, Wilson, who is similarly inclined. Chester is not alone and isolated for living life on his own terms--with his own quirks--because he has found a kindred spirit who sees the world the same way he does. Without Wilson, perhaps Chester's Way would not have been so cheer-y and happy. This is a number game that also has an embedded discussion about alike/different. It is very simple and also helps kids practice counting, one-to-one correspondence, and their colors. There are many illustrations in this book. The text is broken up into small sentences and paragraphs so that each new action and event can be given its own illustration. The illustrations are very colorful, and some of them provide extra clues to understand the text.
