Today's Blend: cr
 Popcorn Word: down
  Language Arts: Through the big book, People at School, the children will work on building fluency by doing an Echo-Read (reading it like the teacher). The kids will also work on retelling the story.
 Writer's Workshop: We continue our work with writing a book review by using the big book Who's in the Shed? and choosing what they want to write about. They will think about the characters, story events, illustrations and other features of the book and decide what they like/don't like about the story. Next, they will write an opinion and reason. The children will use a rubric like the one pictured below to assess their own work. Did they..
~Use Spaces?
~Write neatly?
~Illustrate with detail?

Handwriting: lowercase r & n

 Daily 5!

Math: More Story Problems   
 Their work focuses on:
~Modeling the action of combining situations.
~Combining two single-digit numbers with totals to 10.
~Using numbers and/or addition notation to record how many and to represent an addition situation.

 Smart Room Highlight: Mini Ipads
The use of fine motor apps help the children with eye/hand coordination.

**The children seemed to enjoy the large bunny who read to them yesterday...
