Sight Word Focus: they
                   Phonemic Awareness: Segmenting Sounds    
(As you may have noticed, we spend A LOT of time on this skill. This is helpful for not only reading words more effortlessly but for writing words too!)

Word Family Focus: -an

    

KinderLiteracy: Storms

We will focus these vocabulary words within the story (weather, crystal, electricity, funnel) and answer these questions:

1) Who is the author? What is their job compared to the illustrator?
2) What is one fact we heard from the book?

 Literacy Jobs 
Word Families, CVC words, Sentence Structure, Writing, Independent Reading, Buddy Reading and Listening to Stories.

Math: Subtraction Stories: Day 2
We will work on more subtraction stories within 10 today. Yesterday, the kids used a farm scene to lay the cubes on. Today, they have a pond scene to lay their 'frogs' on.

Science: Thunderstorm in a Cup
The kids will love this experiment!

Fill the cup half full of water to represent the sky then add shaving cream on the water for clouds. Next, add a few drops of blue food coloring onto the top of the cloud to represent water droplets. As a cloud gets full and heavy the water starts to fall from the sky as rain. I'll simplify the concept of lightning by explaining the frozen water in the cloud bumps into each other and causes an electrical charge. That electrical charge can turn into lightning. We'll use bent paperclips to represent lightning in the cups.
