NUMBER WORD & NUMERAL JENGA:

Students will match number words to numerals and apply this understanding during a fine motor challenge that involves analyzing and selecting corresponding blocks.

Description:
Students will play a Jenga-style game where each block column on the tower is labeled with a numeral (e.g., 1–6). They will roll a dice featuring number words (e.g., one, two, three...). The task is to identify the matching numeral and carefully pull out the correct block without toppling the tower.

This playful activity reinforces numeral and number word recognition, decision-making, and fine motor skills.

PQ (Prompt Questions):

What number word did you roll?

Which numeral matches that word?

What might happen if you pull the wrong block?

DIFF (Differentiation):

Emerging: Work with a smaller tower and fewer options; provide visual number word–numeral cards for support.

Advanced: Add more number word dice (up to 10) and use two dice to match combinations or add numbers together.

Skills Targeted:

DOMINO NUMBER QUANTITY:

Students will apply number recognition and counting skills to match numerals with domino dot quantities and compute totals.

Description:
Students will be given number cards and a set of dominoes. They will first identify the number, then search for a domino that represents that quantity (total number of dots). Once placed, they will add the dots on the domino to confirm the match and practice addition.

PQ (Prompt Questions):

How many dots are on your domino?

Does your domino match the number card?

What two numbers did you add to make this total?

DIFF (Differentiation):

Emerging: Match dominoes to visual number cards (e.g., ten frames or picture cues). Use only dominoes with totals 0–6.

Matching and logic reasoning

Materials:

Dominoes

Number cards

Small whiteboards (optional for writing number sentences)

SESSION # 3 - "Carrying On Independently as Writers"

Students will apply problem-solving strategies to continue writing independently without relying on the teacher for direction.

Begin with exaggerated role play:

(With dramatic flair)
“Oh no! I already finished my garden story… What do I do now? Nobody told me what to write next! Can someone tell me what to do?”

Ask: “Writers, is that what we do when we’re not sure what to write?”
(Wait for their: “Noooo!”)

Teaching Point (Anchor Statement):

“Today I want to teach you that when writers have problems and don’t know what to do, they say:
‘I can solve this myself.’
Writers come up with solutions to their problems and carry on writing. That way, writers don’t waste precious time!”

Link (Send-Off):

“So writers, when you feel stuck or unsure, remember: you don’t need to wait or ask for help—you can say,
‘I can solve this myself!’
You are the boss of your writing. You are super writers. And you can save the day!”

DIFF:

Emerging Writers: Can draw and label pictures with initial sounds

Advanced Writers: Can add full sentences or start a second piece independently

Tell students today they’ll become number word detectives!

Give them small sets of object cards (e.g., apples, stars, buttons). Each card will have 0, 1, or 2 items.
Students will read or listen to the teacher say the number word and match the card to the correct word label.

Then, sing a short chant (e.g., “Zero means none, One means just one, Two is a pair — now we’re done!”) to help reinforce.

PQ (Prompt Questions):

1. What does “zero” mean? Can you show it with your hands?

2. How many eyes do you have? What number word matches that?

3. Can you find something around you that matches the number word “two”?

NEEDS AND WANTS

Students will distinguish between needs and wants by engaging with a read-aloud video and sorting visual images.

Activity Description:
Start by asking students: “What do you need to live?” and “What do you want but don’t really need?”
Then, watch the read-aloud video “Lily Learns about Wants and Needs” by Lisa Bullard. Pause at key moments to ask questions and check for understanding.

After the video, students will sort image cards into two groups: Needs and Wants, using a simple mat or pocket chart.
To close, invite each student to explain one choice they made and why.

Children will understand how emotions can get stirred up and how they can calm themselves by observing and practicing self-regulation with a sensory jar.

Activity Description:

1. Brief Introduction:
Show the calm down jar (a jar filled with water, glycerin, and glitter). Shake it in front of the group.
Say:

“This jar shows what our minds look like when we’re upset or full of big emotions. Everything swirls fast and it’s hard to see clearly. But if we wait and breathe… everything starts to settle.”

2. Silent Observation:
Invite children to quietly watch the glitter settle. Encourage them to breathe slowly while they watch:

“Breathe in... breathe out… as the jar gets calmer.”

3. Closing:
Ask children to share things that make them feel stirred up and what they can do to calm down.

PQ (Prompt Questions):

What did you see in the jar when we shook it? What happened next?

How did your body feel during the hand breathing?

What can you do when you feel angry or sad?

DIFF:

For children needing more support: They can simply watch the jar without doing the breathing, or hug a soft toy during the story.

For more advanced children: They can create their own calm jar in a future session or draw how they felt before and after.

MATERIALS:
