This week (1/14/19) we will be focusing on:
Reading:
Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.
Writing:
Write information/explanatory texts in which students supply some facts about a topic and some sense of closure.
Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
Participate in shared research and writing projects
Math:
Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
Science:
Social Studies:
Use fundamental principles and concepts of economics to understand economic activity in a market economy.
Describe economic wants they have experienced.
Distinguish between producers and consumers of goods and services.
Describe ways in which families consume goods and services.
Using examples, explain why people cannot have everything they want (scarcity) and describe how people respond (choice).
This week (12-17-18) we will be focusing on:
Reading:
Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.
Writing:
With guidance and support from adults, focus on a topic, respond to questions and suggestions from peers, and add details to strengthen writing as needed.
Math:
Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 – 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2. 1.NBT.2.a Domain: Number & Operations in Base Ten 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
