Reading Workshop: The children will be practicing their parts for the Reader's Theater book We Like Fruit.

SMART Room Highlight: Delivering Santa's Gifts

Math: Part-Part/Whole

New Concept: We have been working on putting numbers together and breaking them apart. I am going to pretend that these cubes are candy corn. I’m going to tell you a little story. “I love candy corn. We have a dish of them in my house. I walked by it and grabbed 3 pieces. (Put 3 cubes on your “part” side of the mat). Then I walked by again and took 2 more. (Put 2 cubes on the other side of your “part” mat). How many did I have all together?” Now let’s read my mat using the math talk card. Now I want to make a row of 5 for my whole row.

Whole Group Explore: Now you will work with a partner while I tell you some stories and you build it on your mat.

•There were 4 crows on a scarecrow. 3 more flew in and landed right on his other arm. How many are there now?

•There were 2 little bats hanging upside down in a cave. Along came 5 bats who joined them. How many bats are in the cave now?

•I saw 4 turkeys eating corn in a field. They invited 4 more to join them. How many turkeys do we now have?

Student Application: Students will practice putting together their parts into whole while writing their numbers. They will also write the number combinations.
