Literacy Shelf

A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:20 to read Room on the Broom.

Math: Circle & Hexagon
New Concepts: We have already talked about triangles, rectangles, and
squares, but today I want to talk to you about two more shapes. Show the
students a hexagon and a circle. How are these the same? (they both
sort-of look round). How are they different? (one has straight sides and
one does not). If you were going to have a race car, which one would
your want as a tire? (circle) A circle has a curved shape with no straight
lines. A hexagon has 6 straight lines and no curved lines.
Whole Group Explore: Hand a set of shapes to each pair of students.
Hand shapes to each student and call on them to help you sort the shapes.
Student Application: Students will practice numeral formation 3.
                        Students will color and count the hexagons and circles.
