Letter Study: Bb

 Name Focus: Hailey B.

Modeling: Dry Erase Marker/Whiteboards

How will this tool help our learning? How can we take care of it so it is ready when we need it? Where do I put the marker and whiteboard when I am finished?

 Each day we do the calendar, the children will be involved through the use of their "calendar pages". We will focus our calendar time this week on learning how to fill in these pages so we have a good handle on how to use them.

                      

Math: Same/Different Sort

(This is the lesson as I would present it...)

New Concepts: We have been sorting shapes. Ask the students to look around the room to find two objects that are the same (chairs, light fixtures, tables). Today I want to practice seeing and describing how things are the same and how they are different. Hold up two shapes that are the same color (square and triangle). How are these two shapes the same? (color, they each have straight sides) How are they different? (one has 3 sides, one has 4 sides)

Whole Group Explore: Let’s sort some of our shapes by ways they are the same. Let’s sort them by color. Hand each student a shape. Have them sort them into the correct category. Once each student has added their shape, count the number you have in each set. Write that number on a white board or index card. Now let’s sort them by shape. Repeat the process.

Bus Safety

Over the next few days, the kids will learn about safety ideas for the bus. Today, we will focus on waiting for the bus in a safe place and being on time for the bus.
