Phonics: 'Wh' Brothers
  Language Arts: Comprehension Strategy: Making inferences using what they see in pictures and read in text.
 Popcorn Word:  that

Color Word Focus:  blue
 Writer's Workshop:  Our focus today is to understand that words carry meaning, and words are always comprised of letters. Words always go from left to right and we always put spaces between words.
 New Word Work for DAILY 5:
~Stamp the beginning and ending sounds
~Build-a-word with magnetic tiles

 Math: One More, One Fewer
In this activity, the kids turn over a number card and write that number down as well as showing it on a ten frame. Next, a -1 or +1 cube is rolled to change that number to one more or one less than the number written down. Their work focuses on:
~Developing an understanding of more than and fewer than.
~To add and subtract numbers.
~To model the action of combining and separating situations.

 Smart Room: The kids seem to still enjoy reading our 'glow in the dark' words during our time in the Smart Room! We continue our penguin theme...

 
~Our 'Pennies for Patients' collection will go to Molly from Foreston, MN...A Kindergartner who is battling a blood cancer.
