Letter Focus: Oo

 Sight Word Focus: an

 Handwriting: Letter O

Language Arts: Fluency/Pausing
We will continue to work on noticing the punctuation and pause accordingly. The children will use what they learn and apply it toward our Reader's Theater script in About Me.

The kids will:
~Use the punctuation to signal short pauses while reading.
~Demonstrate understanding of the text through purposeful pausing.
             ~Use effective pausing to make their reading sound like talking.

DAILY 5

Math: 
New Concept:  Today we are going to talk about more and fewer. I am going to make two rows of snap cubes. One row has 4 and the other row has 6. I have a green row that has 4 cubes and a yellow row that has 6.  6 is more than 4.  I know this because if I line them up, I can see that I have 2 more of the yellow.  They do not have a partner.  I can also say that I have fewer green cubes than yellow.  Make additional examples of more and fewer. NOTE: Best practice suggests you use “fewer” for things that can be counted like objects.  “Less” is for items that can’t be counted, like liquids, sugar…. 
Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to play a new game.  Watch while I show you how to play.  First I will take 10 cubes that are snapped together.  Partner 1 will put them behind their back and break them in two.  Partner 2 will guess a hand. Now partner one will show the two pieces.  You will use the math talk card to talk about it. 
Student Application: Students will practice writing 6, 7, 8.  
Students will color the items in a set that have more.
