Reading Skills: Reader's Theater

Using the Reader's Theater Book About Me, the kids will
~Echo-read to build fluency.
~Build comprehension through retelling.
~Build vocabulary through shared writing.

DAILY 5
Writer's Workshop
We'll continue to learn the framework for becoming strong writers.
Math: More and Fewer
New Concept: Today we are going to talk again about more and fewer. This time I am going to take one of the number cards out and snap that many cubes together. We can make a little game out of it. Now when I put them behind my back my partner will pick a hand. We will put our pieces on the side of the "More/Fewer" spinner.  We will use our math talk card, then spin. Whoever wins that spin will get a counter.   
Whole Group Explore: Now you will get a chance to play this game with your partner.  Remember to play fair and be a good partner.    
Student Application: Students will practice writing 7, 8, 9  
Students will color the items in the set that have fewer.  
Students will count some of the items and write how many. 

SMART Room: Turkey Poke...poking holes with a push pin.

Social Studies: Sharing and Taking Turns
To be a good citizen, we can tell why we should share and take turns. The children will be in groups of 4 or 5 and have to work together to build a tower. The object is to see how high the tower can go before it falls.
PhyEd Day
