The kids will listen to Penguins by Anne Schreiber for enjoyment. The comprehension strategy worked on this week is Inferring/Connections.  

 Writer's Workshop: Labeling
Today, we begin a new unit on labeling. To launch the lesson, the mentor text My Map Book by Sara Fenelli will trigger ideas of how labeling gives us information. A silly way to engage the kiddos is to label me! After stretching out words together on sticky notes, the kids will place them on me! 

 Handwriting: Letter w

KinderMath: Constructing Solid Shapes 

 Using a cube, sphere, cylinder and cone, the kids will help determine and talk about which shapes will roll, stack, and slide. I will point out how the cylinder and cone can only slide on their flat side which we call the face. Lastly, they will explore which shapes are able to stack and why a cone can only be placed on a stack with nothing on top of it. 

 Phy Ed Today
