 Writer's Workshop: Using an ABC Strip

I will pretend that I can't remember how to write one letter in a word I will stretch out. I will tell them that instead of getting stuck or waiting until the teacher can come to you, sing the ABC’s from the ABC strip to find the letter. 

“Let's say I wanted to label the word “leg” on my person. I stretch out the word leg

slowly and hear the first sound is /l/ but I can’t remember how to write the letter.

 I can solve this problem myself. I can point to the big letter A on

the strip and sing the ABC’s while pointing to each letter. When I get to the letter
l, that is the one I can copy!” We will practice on a pre-drawn picture of an apartment building (setting).

KinderMath: Compare Length

The kids will continue to build their knowledge of comparing sizes. They will compare the length between two items and use 'math talk' to explain the difference. "The string is longer than the shoe." or "The pencil is shorter than the book." This is an engaging activity for the children because they will choose what to measure throughout our classroom.
