 KinderLiteracy: Scarecrows

This week's theme is Scarecrows and the focused text for the week is Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant. Today, the children will hear the story for enjoyment to build an interest in the topic. 
Comprehension Strategy: Making Connections
Story Elements: Setting

Literacy Jobs
 These are boxes of educational, independent activities that allow the children to practice skills in letter sounds, upper/lowercase letter matching, letter order, fine motor work and more. The activities are changed every two-three weeks. Our Literacy Jobs time will last about 30 minutes each day so I can work with individuals/small groups on phonemic awareness and phonics skills. 

 Handwriting: Upper and Lowercase Down the Slide Review

 KinderMath: Read and Write 9

In addition to focusing on number 9, the kids will work on identifying the missing number in a counting sequence (7, _ , 9) as well as counting on from 5 using a Ten Frame as shown. 

We want the children to see that within the ten frame, the top row has 5 and one more below it. We count: "5,6". There is no need to count each dot if we train our brain to see "5" automatically. They will continue counting on with numbers 7-9. 
Zero the Hero visits today for Day 30!
