Letter Focus: NnPopcorn Word: it
Language Arts: Reader's Theater Book: About Me
We are building a Concept Web about "Who am I?"
Writer's WorkshopWe begin our journey to become brave and strong writers today! We'll start by understanding that writing is just telling on paper. To launch our writing time, we will hear the story What Do Authors Do? By Eileen Christelow
SMART Room: We have a new theme...Turkeys! Pictures to come tomorrow.
DAILY 5: We add another component to the DAILY 5 routine-Listen to Reading. This is great for oral language development, fluency, visualizing, and vocabulary. The children will hear stories through a headset on a portable CD player. 
A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:30 to read Election Day & I'm Thankful Each Day!
Math: Decomposing (taking apart) the #10 in a variety of ways and drawing those varieties.
PhyEd Today
ScienceScientists Have Tools to Help Them See
Connect: Remember the other day when we said that we can use the index in a nonfiction book to find information about tools that a scientist uses to measure?
Teach: Today I am going to show some other tools that a scientist has. These are tools that he uses to see things more clearly. Sometimes things are so tiny or so far away that we can’t really see them. So, if a scientist is trying to look at something that is too small or too far away, he can use a special tool. One of those tools I bet you have seen before, a magnifying glass. What do you think a scientist would use a magnifying glass for?
Active Engagement: Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! Now, let’s play a game. I am going to read you an experiment, and you tell me which tool you think the scientist should use. (The kids tell if it's a magnifying glass, telescope, or microscope.)
Link: Remember boys and girls, today and everyday good scientists use tools to help them see things that are too tiny or too far away.
Application: The children will use a magnifying glass to identity teeny, tiny objects and draw what they see.
