Ways to keep warm
Invite children to share how they cope with cold
weather. (If you live in a warm climate, you can ask
children if they’ve ever visited a place where it gets
cold.) Ask, What do you do to keep warm? Children
may mention wearing warm coats, mittens, etc.
during reading context clues
Use the photographs for context clues.
After reading the text in the orange box, pause to
explain, Sometimes we can find context clues for
an unfamiliar word in nearby words. But context
clues can come from photos too. Point out the
word snuggles. Ask, Using the photo as a clue,
what does this word mean? (to lie or press closely
together, to cuddle)
after reading compare and contrast
Use adjectives to compare.
For each animal, ask, How is the baby like its
parent? How is it different? Children may observe
that the seal pup is a different color than its
mother, that penguin chicks have different
feathers than their fathers, and that polar bear
cubs look like their mothers but are smaller. To
wrap up your discussion, ask, Which baby looks
most like its parent? Which baby do you think will
change the most?
Develop English

vocabulary COZY COVERS
New word: insulate
Tell children that insulate means to cover
something so that it won’t lose heat. Together, look
at the animals on pages 2 and 3 of this month’s
issue. Ask children what insulates, or covers, each
animal’s body. Which animals have fur? Which
have feathers?
PHONiCS STAND UP
Focus: short u
Write the words cubs and pups on chart paper
and say them aloud. What sound do children hear
in the middle of each word? That’s a short u! Invite
children to sit in a circle, and tell them you’re going
to say some more words. If they hear a word with
a short u, they should stand up. If not, they should
stay seated. Try: up, chicks, snuggles, dad, fuzzy,
babies, fluffy, snow, cuddle, wind, bubbles.
LANGUAGE STRUCTURE what’s it like?
Focus: adjectives
Tell children that adjectives are words that describe
what nouns (people, places, animals, or things) are
like. For example, the North Pole and the South Pole
are cold. Search this month’s issue for adjectives
that answer the following questions: What is a
polar bear cub’s fur like? (thick) What is a baby
harp seal’s fur like? (fuzzy, white) What are penguin
chicks’ feathers like? (fluffy)
Bridging Languages: Cardinal Directions
Point out the compass roses on p. 4 of both the Spanish and English issues. Explain that they
show the four cardinal directions. Give children a piece of paper and ask them to create a
bilingual compass rose. Encourage them to use their new tool as you ask geographic questions.

before reading build background
What do children know about Dr. King?
Find the date marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day
(January 17) on a calendar. Ask students if they
know why this date is a holiday. Have them share
what they know about Dr. King. Explain that
Dr. King was a man who worked hard to make the
world a better, fairer place. Each year, we have a
holiday near his birthday.
During reading social skills
What does it mean to be peaceful?
While reading the magazine, invite children to
share problems that come up at school. (line
cutting, pushing, put-downs) Together, talk about
peaceful ways to solve each problem. Ask children
how each peaceful solution would make them feel.
AFTER reading make text connections
Reread the text for new meaning.
Explain that what made Dr. King so special was his
peaceful way of dealing with a very bad problem.
Look back through the issue, noting the repeated
sentence Dr. King was peaceful. Then ask, What did
Dr. King do that was peaceful? (wrote letters, led
marches, and gave speeches)
Develop English
Language
word study super suffix
Focus: -ful
Write the word peaceful on chart paper and tell
children that when someone is peaceful, they use
their words to solve conflicts. Circle the suffix –ful and
explain that peaceful means full of peace. Write the
words: powerful, careful, and wonderful. Ask children
to circle the suffixes. What do these words mean?
LANGUAGE STRUCTURE SELF-REFLECTIONS
Focus: was
Tell children that Dr. King lived in the past. That’s
why, instead of saying Dr. King is peaceful, we say Dr.
King was peaceful. Ask students to draw a picture of
something they did or felt yesterday. Encourage them
to practice the word was as they share their picture,
using the following phrase: Yesterday I was _____.
(happy, sad, running)
LANGUAGE STRUCTURE –ed endings
Focus: past-tense verbs
Write these words on separate cards: helped, used,
segregated, changed, called, treated, gathered,
marched, stepped. Invite children to sit in a circle, and
place the words faceup in the middle. Ask, What do
these words have in common? (They all end in –ed.)
Ask children what words are left if you take each
–ed ending away. Explain that in English, adding –ed
changes certain verbs to the past tense.
Bridging Languages: Past Talk
Explain that there are special phrases that tell us that something happened in the past. Can
children find the phrase Hace mucho tiempo on page 1 of the Spanish issue? Together, flip to page
1 of the English issue. Point out that there, we use the phrase Long ago. Next, have children search
for the phrase En aquel entonces. What English phrase means the same thing?
