 The kids will:
~Build academic vocabulary and concepts related to rules.
~Ask questions about a text.
~Identify main idea and supporting details.
~Identify and discuss nonfiction text features (table of contents).

Literacy Shelf
The children have time to choose hands-on literacy activities to work with each day. The kids learn best while being engaged with purposeful activities that are fun to do! 

SMART Room Highlight: Picking Apples
The kids roll a dot cube and put the corresponding number of 'apples' on the tree. Clothespins are used to grab the apples.

 Math: Rectangles & Squares
New Concept: The other day we made some shapes and we practiced looking for triangles. Today we are going to look at a few more. Hold up a rectangle. It has 4 corners, 4 sides, and all the sides are straight. It is called a rectangle. Now hold up a square. This shape has 4 corners, 4 sides, and all the sides are straight. So this is also a rectangle, but it is special! All of the sides are the same length, so it is called a square. Be sure to angle the shapes so they are not always oriented the same way.
Whole Group Explore: Hand a set of shapes to each pair of students. Now you will make some shapes. Watch as I pull a shape out of my bag then make it the best
I can. The Ketchups will start by picking the shape, Mustards will make it by using geobands on their geoboards. Then you will switch.
Student Application: Students will practice numeral formation 3.
Students will color and count the rectangles and squares.
