 Reader's Workshop: Summarizing
Today we're going to read about another animal in its habitat. As we read, we'll note the important ideas so we can use them to summarize the chapter. If we don't understand something we read, we can go back and reread to help us understand better.

  DAILY 5

Math: Addition

Student Application: Today I want to show you an addition strategy. It is using a number line. I am going to roll the dice(3). Now I am going to put my frog on number 3. Now I am going to roll again (4). I am going to move my from 4 spots. We need to count the hops. He will hop 4 times. Count with me. So 3 + 4 = 7. Repeat this several times. They will move the string as they say each number.

Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to use the strategy of using a number line to help you with addition. You will first roll the dice and put one cube on that number. Then roll again and move your frog that many hops to find your answer. Your partner will write your equation down.

Student Application: Students will practice writing their equations.
