Word Family: -ake Reader's Workshop: Using the story Children Past and Present, the kids will build build academic vocabulary/concepts related to children in the past and present time. We will also identify and discuss nonfiction text features. (table of contents, boldface words, glossary)
Writer's Workshop: Remember Rosie, our Elf on the Shelf? Well today the children will be meeting their leprechaun on a shelf. Each day until Thursday, the kids will journal where the leprechaun was found and where they think it will be the next day. A note about our elf and what we name it will come home today!New Concept: One thing that mathematicians do is they gather data and then learn what they can from it. Today I thought it would be fun to do the same thing.
Ask a student to be your partner. Take turns spinning the spinner until you have each had 5 turns and marking the tally marks. After each turn take the shape you spun. Then analyze your data. Count the shapes, answer the questions, then graph your shapes.
Whole Group Explore: Today you and your partner will play this same game. Remember to take turns.
Student Application: Students will analyze their own data and graph it.
DAILY 5
Science: Do Stars Die?Connect: Remember when we said that stars grow?
Teach: Today, I am going to show you that stars die! Depending on the size of the star, this can take millions, billions, even trillions of years! Why? You might of heard your parents talk about getting gas in their car. When you have a larger car, it takes more gas than if you have a smaller car. So just like big cars, big stars burn their energy quickly. And just like little cars, little stars burn their energy slowly. Today we are going to sequence the pictures to show the life cycle of big stars and the life cycle of little stars. First, we are going to put the pictures in order to show what happens to little stars.
Active Engagement: Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! I want you to use the information in the book to sequence the life cycle of the bigger stars.
Link: Remember boys and girls, today and everyday, good scientists know that even though it will take millions and millions of years, stars die. Scientists also know that they can use diagrams to help them learn more!
~Tomorrow night is or Family Activity Night. We won't want to miss it!
