Before the story is read, we will complete a Sensory Experience Chart like below.

 Writer's Workshop: Using Descriptive Words in Writing

Math: "Mix It, Fix It, Flip It"
New Concept: When we count, we count up by 1’s. Every time
I say a number I add one. Start adding 1 cube to the 10 frame until you
reach 10. Sometimes we count down by 1’s like when a rocket is ready to
launch. Start removing the cubes until you reach 0. 10, 9, 8… 
I want to show you a little game. I am going to call it “Mix it, Fix it, Flip it.”
First I am going to mix up all of my cards with the number side showing.
Now I am going to fix it. I will put count down by 1, so I will start with 10.
What number will I put next? Continue to have the students chime in to tell
you the next number. Now, I am going to flip it. I will flip all of my cards
over until just the dots are showing. Next, I will mix it. Then I will fix it.
Then I will flip it again. I want to see how fast I can fix it.
Whole Group Explore: Today you will play, “Mix it, Fix it, Flip it.” Both you
and your partner will work together at the same time to mix the cards, fix
the cards, then flip the cards. See how quickly you can fix them.
Remember… we will be counting down, so you will start with the 10 card.
Student Application: Students will order their 10 frames from 10-1.
