Popcorn Word: words
 Word Family: -ip

Reader's Workshop: Using the poster Follow the Rules, the kids will identify cause and effect in the picture and text as well as make connections to deepen their understanding of the text. We will also cue in on signal words that signify cause and effect. (because, so, since, then, if, etc.)

 Writer's Workshop: Beat the Teacher
The kids are LOVING this activity!
Using our dry-erase boards, the kids while try to write more sight words than me in a given amount of time. The rules are that they have to write the letters lowercase and neatly.

SMART Room Highlight: Lacing

Math: Composing, Decomposing Teen Numbers
New Concept: Today I want to show you something a little different. I am going to spin my spinner and pull out the cards to match my spin.  My spinner landed on 1 ten and 4 ones. So I will take my 10 and my 4. Then I will build these numbers with my beads.   Now watch what happens when I slide the 4 over the 0.  What number did I get?  Yes!  14!  Does that match the number of beads I counted out?  Let’s count them to be sure
**See the picture below for an idea of what the cards/beads should like to compose a teen number...
