KinderLiteracy: Moon 

We will revisit the vocabulary words from the story (craters, glow, neighbor, rock) and compare/contrast the story to Papa, please get the moon for me by Eric Carle.

 Writer's Workshop: Add More Sounds 
*We did not get to this on Tuesday.
 I will draw a fiction story about a dog (character) at the park (setting). The kids will watch as I model how to count the sounds on my fingers for each label I write. "I want to label the collar on my dog. Let's listen to how many sounds are in the word and put a finger up for each sound /c/ /o/ /l/ /r/. I have 4 fingers up so now I need to write 4 lines and say it again slowly and write each sound I hear."
 The kids will then try that strategy on their own.

Literacy Jobs
