Thursday January 8th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - Red light, read aloud (I'm actually going to show them a cool website filled with videos geared towards kids, called The Kids Should See This...I'll show them a couple of videos, but this one will lead into reading and 'persuasive writing'. https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/the-science-of-storytelling-how-can-reading-books-change-our-brains

Period 2 -We'll talk about persuasive writing, and we'll look at the OREO organizer (opinon, reason, example, re-state Opinion). We'll write a paragraph together about Zoo's...are they good or bad?  Then I have some topics (e.g., Tacos vs. Pizza) the kids can choose to write about.

Period 3 -Hopefully it's nice enough to go outside for a bit?  If not, I'll show them how to put their coding games into a google document!

Period 4 -Music.

Period 5 -I'm going to teach the kids about 'doubles' (e.g, 4 + 4 = 8) and show them how that relates to the 2 times tables....I have a game and some work to do with that.

Period 6 -I am hoping to start cursive writing...looking at the clock climber letters (a,d,g,q,c), letter's that start at '2 o'clock'.
