Popcorn Word: was

 Word Family: - ig

 Writer's Workshop: I like _____ because _____.

Math: Measurement

New Concept: We have been comparing the weight of two items. How does the balance look when an item is heavier?  How does it look when an item is lighter? What would my scale look like if two items were the same weight?  Add a pencil to one cup and another item (pen) that weighs the same in the other cup. Discuss how you know they weigh the same. Take the other item (pen) out and put a penny in the other cup. Which weighs more the pencil or one penny? Add another penny. Now which weighs more, a pencil or two pennies? Continue adding pennies until they are the same as the pencil.

Whole Group Explore: Today we will be weighing objects to see how many pennies they are in weight.  

 Time for Kids: Inside the White House (Rescheduled from last week.)

Science: Will a Coconut Sink or Float? (Rescheduled from last Thursday.)
The children will become little scientists to form a hypothesis if a coconut will sink or float. We will test it and record our results. We will also try other objects to test.
