KinderLiteracy: Seed to Plant

We'll review the vocabulary words...

 

Writer's Workshop: Writer's Draw Things that are Important to Them
We start a new unit today on writing Narratives. To launch the unit, the kids will hear the story, Look, I Wrote a Book by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrate/label something they love on a heart shape. I will send home an informational letter about this unit today.

Literacy Jobs 
Time for Kids: On the Job
*We did not get to this yesterday.*

Math: Unknown Subtraction Stories

We will work on the difference in unknown problems. The kids will show the problem using cubes and write the problem statement. The following is an example of the problems they will work on.
My teacher has 10 flowers and my principal has 7 flowers. How many fewer flowers does my principal have than my teacher? 
It's important the kids are confident in stating how many fewer there are. Again, this can be very difficult for the kids as they are most confident with more.   
   It's day 140...It's time for Zero the Hero to visit!
