Wow! The sugar rush was on today! So, we got a lot done, while matching the energy and enthusiasm of our students. We started the day by looking at our November calendar and talking a bit about Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. We also did a think-pair-share about our weekends and then transitioned into journal writing. I demonstrated to the children how to use your fingers to sound out the small sounds in words- ask them to show you!
During phonics, we turned over the letter N- Noisy Nose and then brainstormed words that start with N. We also worked on learning how to properly write the letters R and B during handwriting, realizing that these 2 letters are "Frog Jump" letters.
We started new math stations this week, continuing to focus on counting and comparing. We also explored shape puzzles to notice that different configurations can hold the same amount of unfix cubes! We also added clothing to our thermometer, realizing that the types of clothes put in each zone can be a bit subjective.
We ended the day with Open Circle, reviewing Double D's (see my previous post) and introducing annoying behavior. When behavior is annoying, we practiced using the prompt, "I don't like it when you ________" in order to address the behavior and let someone know what it is that he/she is doing that you don't like.
