Days+with+Frog+and+Toad

Chapter 1: Tomorrow

 * 1) This first chapter is about procrastination. Define and ask for examples: "When is a time you wanted to do something later because it wasn't a fun thing to do?"
 * 2) In this chapter, Toad does NOT want to clean up his house. He decides he will do it tomorrow.
 * 3) p. 4 Drat! p. 9 "blah." He realizes tomorrow is not going to be a fun day.
 * 4) Go over what to do when you get stuck on a tricky word. Look for a part of a word you know: cupboard
 * 5) Go read.
 * 6) After reading, share tricky word strategies.
 * 7) Comprehension questions: what did Toad need to do in his house? What did he want to do? What did he do first?
 * 8) Why did Toad decide to clean up today instead of tomorrow?

Chapter 2: The Kite

 * 1) The last chapter was about procrastination. This chapter is about perseverance! In this chapter, Frog and Toad are trying to fly a kite, but they cannot get it to stay up in the air. Have you ever flown a kite?
 * 2) Look at p. 16. Frog and Toad are in a meadow. Infer what a meadow is. Page 18: robins. Infer what robins are, if you don't know.
 * 3) Set intention: making connections (go over the kinds: text to text, text to self, text to world)
 * 4) Review tricky word strategies.
 * 5) Go read.
 * 6) After reading: What can you infer about Toad from this chapter? What kind of a guy is he? What does he do when Frog tells him to do something? What does he do when the robins tell him to do something? So what does that tell you about him? What can you infer about Frog and Toad and how they are together? (they are good friends). How do you know? Evidence.
