Happy 1/2 Birthday Haven! (June 13)

Letter Study: Zz
 Popcorn Word: as

Reading Workshop: Introducing Inflection/Intonation using the familiar song Are You Sleeping, Brother John?

  Writer's Workshop: Characters Have Clothing
  DAILY 5

Math: Whole/Part-Part

New Concept: The other day we played a game where we broke apart numbers and put them on our whole/part-part boards. I want to show you how we can write this down. Demonstrate using the whole/part-part boards with cubes. Then use a white board marker to fill in the blanks on the math talk card. Repeat with several examples. 

Whole Group Explore: Today you and your partner will be writing on your math talk card, just like I did.  

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

Smart Room Highlight: Fine-Tune Coloring
Tiny crayon pieces are used to force the children to hold it more securely while trying to stay in the lines.
