Reading Workshop: Fluency Skills: Pausing-Full Stop
The kids will learn about the skill mentioned above through Humpty Dumpty.
We have learned that we pause, or rest, between some words. Pausing helps us divide our sentences into meaningful parts, which helps listeners understand what we are saying, too. Punctuation helps us figure out when to pause. The punctuation at the end of a sentence signals a longer pause than the punctuation inside the sentence. At the end of a sentence, we come to a full stop and take a breath before the next sentence.

Math: More Work With Counting Strategies
New Concept: Today we are going to keep counting! One of the things that I love about a ten frame is that it really helps me keep track of my counting. I KNOW if I fill in one of these ten-frames then I have 10! Let’s say I have more than 10 and I have to use 2 ten-frames. (Put 15 items on the 2 ten-frames.) I could count every one of my objects, or I could just look at the 10 frame and KNOW that I have 10 and count on. Demonstrate how you tap the filled ten-frame and say ten, then count on. Repeat this several times.
Whole Group Explore: Today we will play a game. One of the partners will start by spinning the spinner which contains the numbers 11-15, then they will count out that many items. What strategy would work well for this? (Count and Scoot) The other partner will place the beans on the ten-frames and count the objects to be sure they have the right amount. What strategies would work best for that? (Count and Touch)
Student Application: We will need to use the count and check strategy on this paper again today. We won’t be able to move the pictures, so we will want to check them off as we count them.
PhyEd Today
We will watch The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks on YouTube this afternoon. The link is here if you are interested in seeing what they will be watching. What makes it more fun is to have popcorn! The kids have earned a popcorn party for filling our 'Good Listening' jar.
A great BIG turkey is scheduled to visit our classroom this afternoon. I'm sure that turkey hopes she doesn't end up like this on Thanksgiving Day...
~We enjoyed celebrating with Bentley yesterday...
~Club's Choice orders are due Monday, November 26. Again, thank you for helping our school!
~Be sure to check out this week's Maple Lake Messenger as there are helpful tips for preparing your Thanksgiving turkey as told by your child!
~Thank you for sharing your most valued treasure with me everyday. May your time together with family and friends this holiday weekend be truly special.
