Sight Word Focus: all
Language Arts:Reading Workshop: We will reread The Enormous Watermelon to build fluency and introduce the words enormous and gigantic as synonyms.
Handwriting: X 
Writer's Workshop: Noticing Details in Characters
A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:30 to read Grumpy Badger's Christmas.
New Concept: Yesterday we played a game where we counted the cubes out of our bag and thought about all the different ways we could make that number. For example, we counted out 7 cubes...4 of them might have been orange and 3 might have been green.
Today I want to show you a new tool you can use to put numbers together and to take them apart. First I am going to count out 5 cubes and snap them together. Then I am going to count out 5 more, but I am going to break them into two parts. I am going to put 2 on one side and 3 on another. Then I can use my “math talk” cards to read my mat. "2 and 3 make 5."
Whole Group Explore: Partner one will roll the dice, count the dots on the dice, and build a row with that many cubes. Partner one will put it on the “whole” box on their mat. Partner two will count out the same number of cubes, then break them into two parts. Partner two will place these parts on the “part” boxes on their mat. You will use your math talk cards to talk about what you built.
Student Application: Students will practice breaking whole numbers into parts while writing their number.
