Here's my plan for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to finish out my first week and a half of school. After these days we'll be trying to get in a more normal schedule.
Day 5

8:40-9:30- Independent Work- before they start I will discuss "rules" for independent work at desk, show them the Finished Work tub, and talk about what to do when you finish your work (read a book, write in your journal, play with your fish)
- Their work will consist of a mixed-up sentences cut and paste, journal entry, and some sort of math practice. I will use this time to **hopefully** finish assessments to determine reading level
9:30-9:50- Snack- Read Aloud
9:50- 10:10- Math About Me Book- page 5

This week, it will be a little different. Our parents come for Open House/Parent Meeting at 6:30pm on Thursday. This is the time when I tell them our rules/procedures for the classroom and they have a chance to look around the room. I moved my unit day to Thursday so I would have a few cute things to hang on bulletin boards by Thursday night.

Pass out the butterflies so that each child gets one. The kids find their match and stand by their friend. Each child will tell one interesting fact to their friend. Afterwards, partners will share the new fact with the class. If time permits, we will play one more time. This is a fun way to learn new information about the kids)
