KinderLiteracy: Pumpkins
I will reread parts of Pumpkin Town! so the children can answer text-dependent questions like the ones below:
~What evidence did the author provide to show that the boys had made a mistake by throwing out the pumpkin seeds?
~How did the townspeople's feelings change throughout the story?
~What occurs after the boys clean up the pumpkins for the townspeople?

KinderWriting: Storytellers Visualize Stories
 We can use any of our 5 senses to visualize a story that is being told. Today I will tell a story of blue train that chugs and gets louder as it approaches me. As it gets closer, I smell the steam and the burning of the breaks as it comes to a screeching halt. What did we hear? What did we smell? Next, each kid will tell a story about the lunchroom to their partner. What could you see? Hear? Taste? Touch? Smell?

 KinderMath: Read and Write 8
Today's lesson focuses on understanding what the number 8 is and how it can be represented in multiple ways. (writing the numeral, 8 fingers, tallies, number word, 8 objects, counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc.) We will work on noticing that no matter how you arrange 8 cubes (in a row, stairs, in a rectangle, etc.) it is always 8. We also continue to work on what comes next in a sequence of numbers.
