Language Arts: Reader's Theater Book: About Me


We are building a Concept Web about "Who am I?"


A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:30 to read Thanksgiving Day Thanks.

SMART Room: We are changing the theme today so it will be ready for us to use tomorrow.
DAILY 5: We continue to work on growing our stamina in order to sustain 'Read to Self' for longer lengths of time. The only way to do this is to practice, practice, practice. :)
Math: More and Fewer
New Concept: Today we are going to talk about more and fewer. I am going to make two rows of snap cubes. One row has 4 and the other row has 6. I have a green row that has 4 cubes and a yellow row that has 6.  6 is more than 4.  I know this because if I line them up, I can see that I have 2 more of the yellow. They do not have a partner.  I can also say that I have fewer green cubes than yellow. NOTE: Best practice suggests you use “fewer” for things that can be counted like objects. “Less” is for items that can’t be counted, like liquids, sugar…. 
Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to play a new game. First I will take 10 cubes that are snapped together. Partner 1 will put them behind their back and break them in two. Partner 2 will guess a hand. Now partner one will show the two pieces.  You will use the math talk card to talk about whether one side is more or fewer.
Student Application: Students will practice writing 6, 7, 8.  
Students will color the items in a set that have more.  
Music Today

Art: Pressed Leaves
Mary Zillman will be volunteering her time to teach our children art skills every first and third Tuesday of the month. We will spend about 40 minutes in the Art Room learning from her.
