 Literacy Jobs 

Writer's Workshop: Introduction to a Sentence Stem
These are basically sentence starters such as: I like ____. or This is a ___. The sentence  stems are mostly words that have been explicitly taught and the children know how to read. Today, all of the kids will work with I see a _____. as their sentence starter. 

Math: Plus Sign
Today we move into the abstract symbol of the plus sign. As you know, the kids have had a ton of practice combining sets to find out how many in all. Now it's time to apply those skills through a new means! To help launch today's lesson, we will read through If I Were a Plus Sign by: Trisha Speed Shaskan and meet the character, Gus the Plus.
For today, we will still use the word, 'makes' rather than the equal sign. 
4 + 2 makes 6
