Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, make sure children understand these teaching points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text A tree can be a home for a bird; a squirrel; many bugs, such as bees and caterpillars; and a girl. Bees live in a hive. Caterpillars live in a tree and can eat its leaves. Trees can be homes for many living things. Trees provide food for some living things, too. Tree houses are fun because the people in them get a chance to be in the world of nature. The pictures show what living things make their homes in trees. The pictures show how living creatures use trees. The author s attitude is that trees are important and useful Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Concepts of Print Have children point to the end mark for each sentence on page 9 of. Identify the period and question mark, and explain what they signal. Then identify the ellipses, and explain that they signal that the sentence continues onto the next page.

Tell children to raise their hands if the words begin with the same sound, and keep their hands in their laps if the beginning sound is different. Say pairs of words, including: abeja and muchos, viven and ver, puede and pajarito, colmena and orugas, ardilla and árbol. Blend the syllables Say words syllable by syllable and ask children to say the words. Begin with ár-bol. Qué palabra es? (árbol) Continue with these words: ho-gar, puede, pa-ja-ri-to, col-me-na.
