Home to both Mews Accommodation and a Touring Park, Oakwood Farm Chester offers its guests retreats that are close to nature at competitive, affordable price points. Provide ample work time. Upon completion, pair students with new partners to share their work. Remind them of the Smart Partner letters prior to the sharing. Now that we've shared our activities with you, we're excited to see what you came up with! Please add your links to any Kevin Henkes inspired posts to the blog hop linky below. Option 1 ~ “Chester and Wilson have a very close friendship. Then Lilly moves into the neighborhood. Has this ever happened to you? If it has, tell us about in a Google Doc. How did this new person change your friendship? If this has not happened to you, tell about what you might do if someone new tried to be a part of an important friendship.”

Chester is the neighborhood Weird Kid. Clearly. He always does things in his own special and particular way. So does his friend, Wilson. They double knot their shoelaces. They use handsignals on their bikes. They never swing at the first pitch. They always carry extra bandaids.Show the anchor chart with the graphic of two people talking. Prepare the speech bubbles from the Ways We Can Partner Talk anchor chart ahead of time. Use the "I'm thinking.." speech bubble for today's lesson. Save the remaining speech bubbles to build and extend the Smart Partner strategy throughout the year. Guided by the Grim Reaper and Asclepius, the ancient Greek God of medicine, explore the weird and wonderful history of health and medication. Discover where hidden bacteria lie, perform an autopsy on an unfortunate civilian, get a whiff of the smells of days gone by, and learn about the crazy remedies which were once considered best medical practice!

Chester is a creature of habit. He always does things in very precise ways and he likes his routine and so does his best friend Wilson. Wilson, Chester's best friend, is exactly like Chester. They enjoy the companionship and their shared preferences. Then Lilly moves into the neighborhood. Lilly frightens and appalls the very conventional duo with her exuberance, her outlandish disguises and loud proclamations. They avoid her and reject her offers of friendship. Then, when Chester and Wilson are being harassed by some older children, Lilly comes to their rescue and they first tentatively and then wholeheartedly accept her friendship. Lilly opens up many avenues of adventure for Chester and Wilson and they find, to their amazement, that the three have much in common. All is going swimmingly until Victor prances into the neighborhood and there the author leaves us. Kevin Henkes created a wonderful story about friendship in Chester's Way. The story begins by describing Chester, a young personified mouse who likes everything a certain way. His best friend Wilson has very similar interests, and they do everything together. When Lilly moves into their neighborhood, Chester and Wilson do not quite know what to make of her strange way of doing things. When she tries to befriend them, they find ways of ignoring her. RL.2.1 Ask and answer questions (e.g., who was the story about; why did an event happen; where did the story happen) to demonstrate understanding of main idea and key details in a text.On White Water trips, please wear a bathing suit to go under your wetsuit (provided). Calm Water trip-goers should simply wear clothes they don’t mind getting wet. All kayakers should wear open toe footwear and bring a spare pair of shoes. Chester Racecourse has a wheelchair route running throughout, and disabled parking can be arranged at the adjacent Holiday Inn Express.

The "conflict" in the book is when Lily comes to town--or enters the scene/picture. Is there a place for Lily in Wilson and Chester's world? Can Lily who has her own unique, quirky way of living life find her place in this friendship? E: Pair partner groups to share their work and explain their thinking. Students will use thumbs up/thumbs sideways to evaluate their work with Smart Partners. Finally, The Chester Grosvenor also houses a magnificent Spa complete with a Thermal Suite and ELEMIS treatments to name a few!From spectacular sun bears to fantastical fish, and from ravishing rhinos to sedentary seoths alongside many, many more species, Chester Zoo promises a great day out for all! This animal welfare charity is home to over 20,000 individuals and has been working to prevent extinction for over 90 years! As you venture around the carefully themed sections of Chester Zoo, learn all about the various species, observe their behaviours, and feel free to ask the friendly rangers and volunteers about the animals! The City Walls are generally accessible for wheelchairs, although some areas will need to be bypassed. With multiple entry/exit points throughout the Walls, this is extremely feasible. As mentioned above, The Chester Grosvenor is home to Le Brasserie and Arkle. La Brasserie, a vibrant 2 AA Rosette restaurant serving contemporary dishes alongside glamorous Champagne, and the Arkle Bar, a room of elegance and sophistication offering an interesting array of malts, vintage ports, liquors, and wines, all alongside Traditional Afternoon Teas. Allow kids to talk with their partners with the new expectations in place. Signal to regroup and discuss the word 'respectful.' Prompt as needed to be sure that the following areas are included in the discussion: taking turns, nodding, disagreeing kindly and explaining why, using a kind tone of voice, etc. You may need to follow-up this lesson with some mini-lessons throughout the year. Yesterday, we practiced our listening skills during our reading lesson with the text, Chester's Way. We learned that good readers retell to show that they understand the important parts of the story. Today, you are going to practice retelling again, but this time, we are going to build your speaking and listening skills as you work with a partner. We call this activity, Smart Partners, because we can learn a lot from each other when we listen.
