Thursday, April 30, 2020 Today is the last day of April!   Morning News: April 30, 2020

Morning Routine: (oral)

Today is April 30th, so I want you to count to 30 by 1's and 10's.

Repeat after me: Today is Thursday, April 30, 2020. 

What day is today? What day was yesterday? What day is tomorrow?

What month is it? What month will it be tomorrow?

What kind of weather is it outside today?


Today is the 144th day of school! Count to 140 by tens and then add FOUR more! 144!

*If we were using our straws to count, we would have 100 straws rubber band together in the hundreds column and now 4 groups of 10 (40 straws) in the tens column and four straws in the ones column.


Sing the THURSDAY song and the APRIL SONG!

HERE are the month songs where you will find April. We sing this song every morning!
