Literacy Shelf
There are new activities on the Literacy Shelf to ignite excitement for learning letter sounds, syllables, and rhyming.

A storybook reader is scheduled for 9:10 to read Believe it or not, My Brother has a Monster.

Math: Circle & Hexagon
New Concepts: We have already talked about triangles, rectangles, and
squares, but today I want to talk to you about two more shapes. Show the
students a hexagon and a circle. How are these the same? (they both
sort-of look round). How are they different? (one has straight sides and
one does not). If you were going to have a race car, which one would
your want as a tire? (circle) A circle has a curved shape with no straight
lines. A hexagon has 6 straight lines and no curved lines.
Whole Group Explore: Hand a set of shapes to each pair of students.
Hand shapes to each student and call on them to help you sort the shapes.
Student Application: Students will practice numeral formation 3.
                        Students will color and count the hexagons and circles.

PhyEd
 Social Studies: Laws
 1. Read What if Everybody Did That?
2. What would happen if there were no school rules? What if everyone talked when the teacher was talking? No one would learn. What if everyone ran in the halls? People could get hurt.
3. What would happen if we had no rules outside of school? What if there were no STOP signs? People could get hurt. This is why we have laws. Laws are rules that everyone must follow in the community or wherever they go.
4. Laws help to keep people safe. We are going to talk about some laws and why they are important.
5. Read and discuss various laws with the class. 
Independent/class work:
Draw a picture of yourself walking on the crosswalk.
