Letter Study: Jj
Popcorn Word: is
Comprehension Strategies: Visualizing & Analyzing CharactersUsing the poster Stop, Tim! we continue to learn about how these strategies help us understand what we read.
DAILY 5The kids made it 10 minutes of uninterrupted reading today!!
3 ways to read a book:
~Look at the pictures.
~Read the words.
~Retell the story.
The children will work on building their reading stamina with a personal bin of books for each of them.
Again, if you didn't get a chance to see this link the first time, it gives you a sneak peak at what the DAILY 5 framework consists of:

Math: 3D ShapesYesterday we learned a little about how 3D shapes are different. We also learned that the flat part of a shape is called a face. Not all of the faces are the same. I am going to show you how to trace the face of your 3D shapes.
Trace the face of one of your 3D shapes.
3D Shapes with smile on them Paper/pencil
Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to do “Trace the Face” with your partner.
SMART Room: Match the Shape
The Scientific Method
Scientists Form a Hypothesis
Connect: Remember yesterday when we said that a scientist has many questions?
Teach: Today I am going to show you how scientists make a guess, called a hypothesis, to answer their questions. A scientist uses everything he already knows to make the hypothesis. Let me show you what I mean. Remember how yesterday I was talking about gummy bears and water? My question is, “What would happen to gummy bears if I put them in water, vinegar and baking soda?” So now to make my hypothesis, “I’m thinking that the gummy bears will soak up water like a sponge and get bigger. So my hypothesis is… I think the gummy bear in each cup will get bigger.”
Active Engagement: Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! I’m going to pull a question out of my mystery science bag and I want to see if you can make a hypothesis. Here we go: Using these questions, invite the children to share hypothesis’ with their elbow partner.
Link: Remember boys and girls, today and everyday good scientists know we always start with a question and then form a hypothesis by saying what we think will happen.
~Unity Day is tomorrow. Have your child wear orange to stand against bullying.
~Menu Change: Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich and Crispy Beef Strips will be served on Friday and Cheeseburger and Chicken Fajitas will be served tomorrow.
