 KinderMath: Compare 'Some Extra'

The kids will be focusing on the “extras” of a teen number (15 is 10 and 5 extras; 16 is 10 and 6 extras, etc.). Using the story, How Many Snails? by Paul Giganti, the kids will count the cupcakes with sprinkles and show that on their ten-frame. “We counted 13 cupcakes with sprinkles. Next, they will count the cupcakes with white icing. “How many cupcakes did we count with white icing? 14. ”Now, just state the extras that are off your ten frame board. 3, 4. So, what is more: 3 or 4? So, the cupcakes that were ten four or 14 is more." The same type of statements like above will be repeated throughout the book for the children to show on their ten-frame.

 KinderMath: Decomposing 11-20
This lesson is the foundation for students to compare teen numbers. We will review that a teen number is 10 and some extras. We will then work on comparing the “extras” before we move into comparing teen numbers for their numeral only. Using a Ten Frame, I will show a full ten-frame and ask, “How many do we see here? 10! How did you know that? What if I do this? (Some objects will be moved outside of the ten frame but still in a group.) How many do I have? I still have 10. Just because I moved them outside of the ten-frame, there are still 10 because I didn’t add any or take any away. Now what if I do this?” (I will add 3 additional objects to the OUTSIDE of the filled ten-frame) and ask, “How many do I now have? 13! You knew there were 10 and counted on...11, 12, 13.” I'll write the number 13 on the board and explain that the 1 stands for ONE group of 10 and the 3 stands for the EXTRAS. I will continue the same routine with the numbers 12, 14, and 15.

KinderLiteracy: A Bad Case of Stripes 

We will focus on the vocabulary words within the story (fret, ointment, contagious, lawn, sob) and answer these questions:

1) Where does the story take place?

2) Who are the main characters?

3) What is the problem? How was the problem solved?

 Writer's Workshop: Makes Sense
Today's lesson focuses on making sure when we write a sentence, it makes sense. I will read the following sentence that I wrote. I the swng. I will point out that I left out the word like and that we always need to reread our sentence so it makes sense! (A couple more will be modeled before I send the kids out to write their own.)

KinderMath: Compare Numbers to 10
First, the kids will be reviewing the comparison of numbers to 10 by working with sets of images, sounds, and numerals to 10. Next, I will read How Many Snails? A Counting Book and ask questions like Are there more grey clouds or white clouds? Are there fewer big clouds or little clouds? Are there fewer yellow or pink flowers? Are there more fish with their mouths open or shut? etc. Lastly, the kids will listen to sets of sounds and tell me if they hear more claps vs. stomps, knocks vs. clicks, etc. This allows children to realize we use comparison in our lives everyday, and it’s not solely dependent on numerals. 

Spanish Class

Today, they will review each child's Spanish name, and introduce number & color names. D.E.A.R time today: 8:25
