10:00-11:00 EL SMALL GROUP TIME - Students will work collaboratively to research problems with access to books and education in a specific country to become an "expert".

11:00 Intervention & Enrichment - We are beginning a new fall themed read aloud, "The Candy Corn Contest". There will also be a few holiday read alouds throughout the quarter. During this read aloud, students will also have the opportunity to play an estimation game that corresponds with the story. Students should also work at their own pace on the Fall Themed Intervention Packet (in Material Distribution Bags).
