Monday, November 27Happy Birthday Kaeden! (November 26)

Letter Study: Uu
 Popcorn Word: you

Reading Skills: Story Elements (Setting, Characters, Problem, Solution)

We will use the following poster about the boy who has a red ball and is playing by himself. We will work on solving the problem as to how he can ask others to play.


DAILY 5
 Writer's Workshop: Writer's Work on Stamina
The children are working on writing for longer periods of time. By continuing to model procedures, writing strategies/expectations, the children will begin to internalize these ideas as they are allowed to practice on their own. 
Math: Counting with Accuracy
New Concept: Dump a pile of counting bears in front of you (roughly 20).  Now that we are counting items in larger numbers, we HAVE to get organized! I could count them like this (start counting, but make it look awkward) but it is hard to keep track of what I have already counted and what I still need to count. We can do a touch and scoot method. Touch and move each bear. I have to be sure I only say one number for each bear I scoot. We can also put them in a line and touch one bear with our fingers. Touch and count each bear.  
Whole Group Explore: Now you are going to practice both of these strategies with your partner. Partner one will put their hand in the bag and grab a handful of bears. Then partner two will grab a handful of bears. Together you will put them in a pile in front of you and practice count and scoot/count and touch. 
Student Application: Sometimes we have to count things that we can not move-like pictures on a paper. One of the strategies you can use is a count and check strategy.  Since we can’t move the pictures on the paper, we can add a check mark on the ones we have already counted. Model as you count and check each item.
