Letter Study: Zz

Sight Word Focus: we
r Handwriting: Z
 Writer's Workshop: Narrative Stories: Adding the Next Page to our Book.
Reading Workshop: The children will be practicing their parts for the Reader's Theater book We Like Fruit.

Math: Part-Part/Whole
New Concept: Review the concept of part/part/whole. Let’s think some more about part/part/whole. There were 8 owls sitting in a tree. Some had mice, but 3 did not. How many owls had mice? As I tell the story, I build on the whole/part/part mat. I will provide a few examples.
Whole Group Explore: Everyone will start with 10 as their whole number. One partner will roll the dice and count out the cubes and put them on a part. The other partner will need to figure out how many cubes to put on the other part to make 10. 
Student Application: Students will practice completing their whole/part/part frames.

SMART Room Highlight: Balance Beam & Reindeer Walk

PhyEd Today

~The candy canes have bloomed! We had the perfect conditions to grow these beautiful works of wonder! It looks like Santa Elf doesn't want this one to go home today...

 

~Reindeer Games will be happening in Kindergarten tomorrow! Have your child wear as much brown as they can!

~Again, did you notice that your child has a purple star coming home on their work? This signifies that a teacher/grown-up has checked their paper and it's ready for home.
~We will be in need of bandaids, bandage wrap and Q-Tips for our next dramatic play center coming in January. I would be so grateful for anything you can spare!
