Reading Workshop: This week we are applying the strategies of analyzing story elements using the story The Enormous Watermelon by Brenda Parkes.

 Writer's Workshop: The Importance of Adding Details to our Writing
Math: How Many More To Make 10?
New Concept: Place 6 cubes on a ten-frame and invite the students to discuss what they are noticing. Guide students towards recognizing that 6 is one full row (5) and one more, that you just need 4 more to fill the whole frame (or make 10).  Repeat this guided discussion a few times.  
Whole Group Explore: Today, you are going to play Ten Frame Fun again. However, today we will add a math talk card. Let me show you how to use it.  You will play the game the same way you did yesterday. After your turn you will use the math talk card. “I have 7. I need 3 more to make 10.” 
Student Application: Students will fill in the missing pumpkins and complete the statement.

Smart Room Highlight: Reindeer Dash
Roll the dice and move the reindeer clothespin that many spaces to get to 10.
