Math: 2D Shapes/Positional Words (Behind, Above, Next To, etc.) & Writing #5

Today we are going to play Simon Says. You will need to listen to my clues and follow along. I am going to put my pencil (crayon box, eraser…) in front of me. Simon says put your pencil on the carpet in front of you. Simon says pick up the shape that has 4 sides and all the sides are the same length. Simon says place that shape above your pencil. Continue placing items around the pencil using positional words. Now I am going to play this again, but this time I am going to be tricky. I am going to hide what I am doing so you can’t see it.   

Whole Group Explore: Now you are going to play a game with your partner. You will get back to back with your partner and play match it! Someone will go first and tell their partner something like..."Put your circle next to the square. Match it!". You can then see if you both have your shapes the same.
Student Application: Students will practice numeral formation 5.
Students need to cut out the shapes at the bottom of the pages and
then listen. "Put the circle beside the crayon. Put the triangle
below the crayon. Put the square above the crayon. Put the rectangle next to the circle. Put the hexagon in front of the crayon."

 Social Studies: Good Choices & Bad Choices

Lesson 3

~We can make good choices or bad choices.
~When we make good choices, we feel good inside and make others feel good, too. Good choices can keep us safe. When we make good choices, we are choosing to be a good citizen.
~When we make bad choices, it makes us feel yucky inside. Sometimes we feel good, but after awhile the bad choice makes us feel bad. Sometimes bad choices are dangerous or make other people feel bad, too.
~Today we are going to look at some pictures and decide what a good choice and bad choice would be. We will discuss what a good or bad choice would be for each situation.

~There are a lot of items in the Wednesday envelope today including your child's school picture.
~We enjoyed the storybook reader yesterday...
