 Reader's Workshop: This week we are using the story Katy's First Day of School to work on making connections and inferences. 

Before the story is read, we will complete a Sensory Experience Chart like below.

 Writer's Workshop: We continue to work on writing more thoughts on paper.
Phonics: We are beginning to learn about the digraph "th" today. Watch for a letter coming home today that explains who the "H Brothers" are. The letter explains the fun way we introduce th, ch, sh, 
 A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:30 to read Mule School & 100 Snowmen

DAILY 5 
Math: More/Less

New Concept: Today I want to show you a game. First, I want to lay my cards out in order. I will start with 1 and I will keep counting on 1 more until I get to ten. Now, close your eyes while I sneak one of these numbers away and put it behind my back.   Now open them!  I will ask questions such as, “How did you figure that out?” Reinforce that you are able to figure out the missing number by knowing that 5 is one more than 4 or 5 is one less than 6. Next, turn the cards over until only the dots are showing.   

Whole Group Explore: Today you will play the same game that I just showed you.   First you will lay the cards out in order. Your partner will hide their eyes, then guess which number is missing.    

Student Application: You will practice counting and adding on one more.  

Then you will write your numbers from 0 - 15.

SMART Room Highlight: Poking a hole through each dot...
