Teacher: Read the title and tell children that these are pages from a how-to text. Browse the pictures and ask children to predict what this how-to will be about. Have children read through the text on their own. Introduce the term “crayon resist.” Then discuss the process for making a crayon resist as described in the text. Purpose: To read a how-to text; to use ordinal numbers to describe a sequence Teacher: Review the names of the 7 plane shapes listed at the bottom of the page. Provide red, green, blue, black, orange, yellow, and purple crayons for children to use. After children color in the shapes, have them count each shape and fill in the boxes to make the graph. Compare the numbers in the graph to see which shape was used most and which shape was used least. Purpose: To identify plane shapes and color them; to use the information about shapes to make a graph
