 Language Arts: Practice Reading Hot Cross Buns with Expression

Writer's Workshop: Unfortunately, we ran out of time yesterday to have Writer's Workshop so We continue our work on Informational Reports. Today, we look at tadpoles and write two topic sentences from pages 8-9.
Tadpoles grow and change.
A tadpole grows legs. It loses its tail.

Math: Today we will keep working on story problems and again, the kids will BE the number bond! We are going to act out this story problem: There were 3 cupcakes on a plate. (Three children stand in a hula hoop). Some more were added. Now there are 7. (We think aloud as we count on to reach 7. These students move to the other hula hoop). How many were added? (We count the number we added to the other hula hoop) Now we write the fact family for this problem and guide the kids towards building subtraction equations.
**These pictures show a Human Number Bond in action!

*I am tickled to pieces as to how well everyone is reading in our class! It warms my heart to see their little minds at work becoming literate!
