| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

| What topic | Create a Day 2 Core Block lesson for a multi-age homeschool group (grades K–5) using the weekly theme “Business & Finance.” The mentor text is “Grand Opening: A Civic Square Story,” where AJ, Liam, Simay, and Onyx brainstorm ideas for their new stores. Today’s lesson should focus on retelling events from the planning scenes, writing a star detail sentence about a store idea, using commas in a list, and rounding multiple prices to find a total. Make sure to include a student-friendly “I Can” statement for each subject (Reading, Writing, Grammar, Math), a detailed mini-lesson for each subject (Reading, Writing, Grammar, Math), teacher modeling, guided practice, independent tasks for K–2 and 3–5, and a final reflection prompt about why planning is important for a business. Format the lesson using: Hook, Teaching Point, Modeling, Guided Practice, Independent Work, Reflection. |

| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hook | 5 min | Begin with a discussion about the importance of planning in business. Ask students what they think happens when businesses don’t plan. Use a fun example related to their daily life. |
| 2 | Teaching Point | 5 min | Introduce the lesson objectives and explain what the students will learn today: retelling, writing, using commas, and rounding. |
| 3 | Modeling | 5 min | Read a section from "Grand Opening" where AJ, Liam, Simay, and Onyx brainstorm ideas. Demonstrate how to retell key events using a story map. Show examples of star detail sentences based on their store ideas. |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 7 min | Students will work in pairs to retell events from the story and share their star detail sentences. Provide sentence starters for younger students, and guide older students in constructing their details. |
| 5 | Independent Work (K–2) | 3 min | Students will write one star detail sentence about their store idea and create a list of items with prices. |
| 6 | Independent Work (3–5) | 3 min | Students will write one star detail sentence and use the pricing worksheet to round multiple prices and find a total. |
| 7 | Reflection | 2 min | Ask students to write a few sentences on why planning is important for a business. Share reflections verbally with the class as time allows. |
Students will complete their star detail sentence and the rounding worksheet at home.
Check students' work without asking any to present. Provide individual feedback throughout the lesson to ensure understanding.
