 Meaning- Does it make sense with the story?  Structure- Does it sound like good talking? Can we say it that way?  Visual- Are the letters what you would expect to see?

 Rate- The speed at which a reader reads the words on the page.  Prosody- phrasing, expression, reading the punctuation

I'm trying hard to learn to read But what's a kid to do When there's a HO, and a GO and a SO and a NO And then there's a word like TO! Reading BONE, CONE, LONE and TONE Can almost be kind of fun, But I get upset when I have to believe that D-O-N-E spells DONE! It's plain to see a kid like me Sure needs a helping hand. No matter how much I really try I just don't understand. I'm trying hard to learn to read. Somehow that's what I'll do. But for now if you'll just read to me Someday, I'll read to you.

 What Authors Write About  Making books (paper bags/paper folded)  Writing part of a series (If you Give a Mouse a Cookie or There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly)  Adding details to words (not: so so so so or very very very)  Writing Rubric (punctuation, capitalization, finger spacing, and phonemic spelling is readable) Writing Rubric  Spelling expectations (only sight words must be spelled correctly) Spelling expectations  Writing in pencil  Small moment  Good ending

 Numbers to 120 and counting patterns(skip counting by 2’s, 5’ and 10’s starting at ANY number)  Using objects and pictures to solve addition and subtraction problems up to 20  Greater than and less than (comparing numbers)  Graphing  Geometry and fractions (1/2, 1/3)  Money: recognizing and knowing the values of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Count money to a dollar using mixed coins.  Telling time to half an hour (digital/analog)  Measurements: non-standard units (length)

 Use resources in their homework folder to help them solve problems (120 chart)  Playing games (using objects/materials you already have at home)  Asking more open questions to extend their thinking versus just giving them the answer (see packet for examples)  Read math books (in packet)

 Card games (take out face cards) - Tens Go Fish (in packet) - addition concentration - addition battle  Dominos/dice games (instant recognition of dots)  Using a zip lock bag/dry erase marker to create an open number line to solve math facts *Great for addition and subtraction strategies to 20
