Happy Birthday Brantley!
Sight Word Focus: when

 Manipulating Ending Sounds
Change the last sound to make a new word: "pod" to "pot", "sad" to "sap", etc.

Phonemic Awareness: Digraph /th/
Two letters that make one sound. I call them the Naughty Brothers since they stick their tongue out to produce the sound.

 Writer's Workshop: Narratives have a Setting

 Math: Solid Shapes
We begin a new unit on 2D & 3D shapes today. Below, is a snapshot of the main portion of the lesson.

		We will read the book Cubes, Cones, Cylinders, & Spheres by Tana Hoban and take time to stop and discuss the pages that illustrate solid shapes {cones, cylinders, cubes, and spheres}. It is important to identify the shapes by their name and use the words “3D” and “solid” interchangeably. I will show the kids a party hat, ball, soup can, and box and describe their attributes by using vocabulary like: flat, curvy, point, roll, slide, stack. The children will explore freely with solid shapes for the remainder of math time.

How Can You Find Animals in the Woods?
The children will discover the ways to find animals in the wood by looking under things, watch for movement, and sometimes being really quiet so animals will come out of their holes.
