Unit 1, Week 4 - Pizza at Sally's / Everybody Works

     This week our focus stories will help us to answer the question, "What kinds of work do people do?".  We will begin with realistic fiction book entitled Pizza at Sally's by Monica Wellington.  Sally the pizza maker makes pizza. She grows tomatoes in the community garden for the sauce. She gets cheese in the shop down the street. She buys flour from the mill for the dough. We will follow Sally throughout all of her tasks as Sally prepares, mixes, and bakes delicious pizzas. 
      We will also work with an informational text--Everybody Works by Shelley Rotner and Ken Kreisler.  The photographs and simple text show us the many ways in which work can be accomplished.
     Through these stories we will be focusing on the following skills: identifying beginning sounds, recognizing words in oral sentences, pausing for punctuation, action verbs, and learning to use the text and pictures together to develop meaning.
