Word Family Focus: -ad Reader's Workshop: Summarizing
When you summarize, you determine the most important details. Knowing which details are not important is the next step. When you retell a story to someone or describe something that has happened, you tell only the most important parts of the story or event. Writers do this, too. Good readers often stop to summarize in their head what they've just read. They do this to make sure they understand what they're reading. We're going to practice summarizing this week.
Think Aloud and Use the Metacognitive Strategy:
Fix-Up Monitoring
When I look at this picture, the first thing I need to do is figure out what it is trying to show me. One way I can do this is by reading the title. I know the first word is Little and the next one is Miss, but I don't recognize the word at the end that begins with M. One way I can help myself is by looking at the picture. This strategy is called fix-up monitoring, and it can help me when I don't know a word or don't understand what I have read. Let me show you how I do it.

Think aloud: I recognize this picture of a girl sitting on a pillow, dropping her bowl when a spider scares her. It's from the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet. The word Muffet starts with the /m/ sound. I think the title is “Little Miss Muffet.” By using clues in the picture and what I knew about the first letter of the word Muffet, I was able to “fix-up” what I did not know. Knowing the title can help me tell about, or summarize what the poster is about.
Writer's Workshop: The children continue to work on their first book by writing about the 'heart' of the story. In other words, how they felt.
Math: Numberline AdditionNew Concept: The other day we practiced drawing pictures as an addition
strategy. Today I want to show you another strategy. It is using a number
line. I am going to roll the dice (3). Now I am going to put my frog
on number 3. Now I am going to roll again (4). I am going to move my
frog 4 spots. We need to count the hops. He will hop 4 times. So 3 + 4 = 7.
This will be repeated this several times with different numbers.
Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to use the strategy of using
a number line to help you with addition. You will first roll the dice and put
one cube on that number. Then roll again and move your frog that many
hops to find your answer. Your partner will write your equation down.
Student Application: Students will practice writing their equations.
