n math this week, I will be giving students a post assessment on our current unit This will be a grade. Students need to know how to count to 40 by 1’s and 10’s, count on from a number, write their numbers 0-21, how to count objects using our counting strategies, know that a group of objects is the same number if it is rearranged without adding or taking away any cubes, one more and one less, and sorting by color and counting how many objects are in each set.
Please make sure students practice counting by 1’s and 10’s to 100 every night if needed. For students who have mastered this standard, you can practice counting by 1’s to 200 and/or skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, etc. Here are the standards we will focus on for our next unit after Thanksgiving Break: MGSEK.CC.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens. MGSEK.CC.5 Count to answer “how many?” questions. MGSEK.CC.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. MGSEK.CC.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. MGSEK.NBT.1 Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones to understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8). MGSE1.NBT.7 Identify dimes and understand ten pennies can be thought of as a dime. (Use dimes as manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.) MGSEK.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. In ELA, we will continue with our Lucy Calkins reading and writing units of study. In reading, we will continue our new unit on “Superpowers!” We will discuss how partners an sit side-by-side, one book or poem or song will go in the middle, and they will take turns reading and pointing making sure to focus on making their pointing match what they are reading. As students are reading, we will go over how they need to make sure that when they get stuck or into some trouble they use ALL their strategies to help them get unstuck. Some strategies they will be using include: pointer power, reread power, partner power and picture power. We will also practice using picture power and add how they can also look closely at the letters in the word and think about the sounds they make to figure out what the word is. Students will also work hard to learn new words as they read by using the “How to Learn a Word” process: •Read the Word •Study the Word •Spell the Word •Write the Word •Use the Word In phonics, we will be discussing the letters “Vv,” “Xx,” and “ Zz.” For shared reading, we will read a book about helping others not only during this time of year, but all year. We will also read a poem about being thankful and a silly turkey poem. In writing, we will be finishing up our “Show and Tell” unit. Students will have a post assessment on Monday and Tuesday. They will choose an object or a place to show and tell about and use all that they learned: labels and details in their pictures and words, writing a sentence, etc. We will also begin our narrative stories (true stories). We will talk about getting ideas from stories and practice storytelling, planning stories page by page, and adding more details to pictures and stories. In social studies, we will be talking about gratitude all week. Each day, students will think of something they are thankful for in the following areas:friends, skills and talent, something at home, a book, and a freedom. Our “Cookies for Character” learner profile word this month is “reflective.” We will be reading the story, “Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse” and discuss how this book represents reflection.
