Language Arts: Comprehension Strategy: Visualize/Analyze Character
Using the poster "Friends" we will work on these points:
~A character is a person, an animal, or a thing in a work for literature.
~Examining a character's actions, feelings, thoughts, and words and what others say and think about him or her allows readers to make inferences about the character.
~Understanding characters in a story helps readers better understand the story.
A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:30 to read Haunted House Mouse

New Concept: Today we are going to be counting and matching numbers with cubes. This time we are going to play with numbers up to 6. First I am
going to pull a number card out of my bag (6). Now I am going to put 6 cubes on
my mat. I need to check that I have the right amount by touching each cube and counting them. 1, 2, 3. . Now I want to build another set so I have a matching pair. I have to be careful, Watch! Give a non-example of 1-to-1. Explain how you have to be sure they line up.
Whole Group Explore: Now we are going to play match me again. Partner 1 will take out a number and place that many cubes on their board and say, “match me!” Partner 2 will match the cubes. Then you will both check to be sure you
have a pair by laying the toothpicks down to be sure you have the same amount.
Student Application: Students will practice writing the number 6.
Students will draw a line to matching quantities.
~A special package was delivered to our classroom on Friday. Before we opened it, the children gave many guesses as to what it could be. The suspense was too much so we opened it and found out we have a class pet! Journal Giraffe will be visiting each of your homes sometime this year.
~I am looking forward to visiting with those of you scheduled for conferences tonight. Don't forget to check out the Scholastic Book Fair too!
~No school Wednesday for elementary students.
