Writer's Workshop: We are going to work on sight words with a game called Beat the Teacher. This is where we practice writing the sight words in a certain amount of time to try and write more words than me. We play several rounds with a variety of words.

DAILY 5


 Math: Counting Strategies
New Concept: Today you will be working with a different manipulative to demonstrate and support the counting strategies. (Students need multiple opportunities to practice the same skills.) We will be adding rigor by working with larger numbers. Place a pile of manipulatives in front of you (roughly 15-20). I will place the manipulatives on the ten-frame in the same way as I did on Friday. 
Whole Group Explore: Today you will practice counting the manipulatives in your bag. Remember our counting strategies as you count your buttons.    
Student Application: We will need to use the count and check strategy on our paper again today. We won’t be able to move the pictures, so we will want to check them off as we count them. 
  Computer class today.

~The children enjoyed our storybook reader on Friday...

~Mrs. Weninger was showing the kids a model of the human brain. As you can see, they were very curious!
