Library Day

Math: Count and Check Using a Ten Frame
New Concept: Yesterday we worked on some strategies to help you keep track of your counting. Today I want to show you another strategy. We can use a ten-frame. Show students how you match one bear in each box. You will want to model filling the first row from left to right counting as you place each bear down. Show them how you might need one additional ten frame. Now that my ten-frame is filled in, I can count them. I still want to be sure that I count and touch each one of the bears. 
Whole Group Explore: Now you are going to practice using the ten frame strategy with your partner. One partner will put their hand in the bag and grab a handful of bears. Then the other partner will grab a handful of bears. Together you will put them in a pile in front of you. Mustards will practice putting the bears on the ten-frame while counting. Ketchups will practice counting and touching. If your numbers match, you will give each other a thumbs up! If they don’t match, you can recount.
Student Application: We will need to use the count and check strategy on our paperwork again today. We won’t be able to move the pictures, so we will want to check them off as we count them.

Soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. The tradition of Thanksgiving began when the Pilgrims and Wampanoag had a harvest feast together. Today we are going to learn about the very first Thanksgiving.
2.Read and discuss a book of your choosing.
Together, make a “WANTED: The First Thanksgiving Facts” anchor chart/poster with your class. List the categories on the side (Who, When, Where, Time, What, Why). Turn cards over and spread out in front of the class. Ask students to choose a card and decide what category it goes in. 

Have a GREAT weekend!
