– determine patterns created by counting by twos, fives and tens on a hundred chart

(in student friendly terms)

Today we will:

-speak with partners about patterns we notice when skip counting

-explain what we notice about the ones digit when skip counting by 2’s

Math/Coin Review

To reinforce coin recognition and value by creating a book.

 

The Bug Brigade

To spark interest in the study of insects through the engagement of “peer scientists” who will present the class with fun facts about the insects they have studied.

Physical Education: Bean Bag Body

Warm up routine,   Body Talk Song follow directions of the song to help point to body parts (move your eyebrows up and down…).

Students will pick up and count 5 bean bags, and place them on their polyspot. When directed by the teacher the student will pick up 1 beanbag and place it on their head using the rhyme to help reinforce concept (cranium-cranium helps me think) and walk across the room, and place it into the bucket. Go back to your polyspot pick up another bean bag place it on their biceps (biceps biceps bend my arm), repeat with body parts: heart (my heart beats to pump my blood), Tummy (abdominals) (Tummy muscles stand up tall), Thigh (quadriceps quadriceps help me kick).  Repeat the phrase as you hold the bean bag and walk it to the bucket.  Use hand over hand assistance to redirect and assist if needed.

Physical Education: Jumping Forward with Jump Rope

I can turn my rope forward and jump over it.

Demonstrate mature form for jumping forward with self-turn rope and jumping with long rope (student turn).

Single beaded jump ropes, white board with jump skills listed simple to complex, rope cues, and technique reminders written on it, African Hand Drum (borrow from Music Education Teacher), iPad
