Math: Looking Closer at Hexagons

Honey the Hexagon will help the kids count the sides and corners of a hexagon. The kids will expand their knowledge of hexagons by exploring with a game called Fill the Hexagon using pattern blocks. They will roll a cube that has the flat shapes drawn on it and whatever shape it lands on is placed inside the hexagon. 

The kids will also have time to use Geoboards/Geobands to build shapes as shown in the photo below. 

    

 Writer's Workshop: Characters and Setting
I will draw a setting of a park and add a character that is sad. Next, I will model out loud that I need to think of a story of why the character is sad. The kids will come up with the ideas and I will label a few of their thoughts on my picture. Lastly, the kids will draw their own setting ONLY today because it can be overwhelming to be asked to draw so many objects and then label their picture. They will save their work and label another day.
