 Writer's Workshop: A 5 W's Story
 The children will learn about the 5 W’s of writing...who, where, what, why and when. If you ask yourself these 5 words, then you’ll be sure to include all of the details needed in your story. I will ask a volunteer to make up a verbal story and ask the student each of the 5 W’s. Who was there? Where were you? What were you doing? Why were you doing that? When did you do that? The kids will then help me write my story. This is a snapshot of what will happen...
I will write the word “dog” in the middle of my story paper. “What do you think about my story? Should we ask the first W? Who is in my story? The dog, right! What is his name? His name is Jax.
Where is Jax? He is at the park. What is he doing? He is jumping and playing. Why is he doing that? He is acting silly because it is raining. When was he doing this? We went to the park last night!”  I will conclude by writing it phonetically:  My dog Jax is at the prk. He is sille in the rain.
 

 Kindermath: Numbers 80-100

First, the kids take a 100’s chart that has been cut it into pieces and put it together  like a puzzle. Next, partners will be given a collection of 100+ items to place on ten 10-Frames. Today’s purpose is to get kids acquainted with counting collections and focus on merely the counting. The kids will be counting out items and placing them onto a blank ten frame as this will ensure they have ONLY ten items. They will then transfer the items from the ten frame to a plate and continue this process until all of their items have been counted. They will then count out their collection by tens and then the extras.
