Literacy Shelf Time

Math: Decomposing Number 7

New Concept: Today we will play match me, but we will be using the number 7. I am going to use two colors to make 7. So I am

going to use blue and orange cubes. If I start with 2 blue, I will need 5 orange to make 7, because 2 and 5 make 7. I need to be sure that I go back and count each cube to be sure I have 7 in all. Count with me as I touch each cube. Now, can someone help me match it?  Now, I want to make 7 a different way. I can start with 4 blue, how many more do I need to make 7? Provide additional examples of decomposing the number 7.

Whole Group Explore: You will be building the number 7 in lots of different ways. Once you build it, your partner will match it. See how many different ways you can make 7.

Student Application: Students will practice writing the number 7.
Students will use two different colored crayons to make 7 in a variety
of ways.

 Social Studies: How to be a Good Friend
1.Read You Are Friendly by Todd Snow and discuss.
2.There are lots of ways to be a good friend. Good citizens are friendly.
3. Create a “How to be a good friend” interactive chart. Ask students to help write “I can” and you complete with their words. 
4.Role-Playing activity: Two students will role play different scenarios of how to be a good friend.
