Our VIP, Morgan, brought some family photos that she got to share on the big screen (using our document camera). We reviewed the letters L and U, comparing the shapes of the letters to other letters. In math, we learned that 6 is 1 more than 5, 7 is 2 more than 5, etc. We also talked about taking away numbers and used the phrase 1 fewer. To make the concept more fun, 5 students at a time got to be 5 little monkeys jumping on a bed. I read the book New Shoes For Sylvia and we discussed some new vocabulary words. During centers, I tested more students on letter recognition. We finished the Junie B. Jones book after lunch. I think most of the students really enjoyed it. Our social studies lesson was about people having different preferences and how people can try to do things that their friend prefers to keep things in balance. By the way, one of the students noticed a typo in the Ll Book that went home today. On the lollipop page, it says "lollilop." I thought that was so cool that they were paying such close attention!
