In math this week, I will be giving students a formative assessment on counting from 1-40 and writing their numbers 1-20. This will be a grade. I will also pre assess students on our next unit- continued counting. Please see below for the standards in our next unit that we will talk about next week but officially begin after Thanksgiving break.
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 this unit: 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 begin our new unit on “Superpowers!” This is my absolute favorite unit as students learn about different superpowers to help them read. This week, we will focus on “Pointer power in which students put their finger, popsicle stick, pencil, etc. under each word as they are reading to make sure they don’t leave out or add any words. When talking about pointer power, we will discuss how readers don’t let longer words slow them down: every word gets one tap. We will also use “Snap word Power” (snap words are the same thing as sight words) in which we identify our sight words in a snap! We will be reading the story “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” to help us with these two powers. We will even read “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do you Hear?” and “Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do you See?” to help reinforce these concepts. In phonics, we will be discussing the digraph “wh” and the letter Yy. For shared reading, we will be reading a book about signs all around us as symbols, a poem about Veteran’s Day, and a book about our current season, Fall. In writing, we will be finishing up our “Show and Tell” unit. We will be reviewing/working on finger spaces in between words, expanding and adding more sentences, how to end our books, and celebrate the end of this unit. For this celebration, students will get to share their books that they have worked so hard on! On Friday, students will have a narrative writing pre assessment. They will be writing about a “small moment” in which they did something. In social studies, we will continue our unit on Symbols. We will have some fun with Microsoft Teams symbols that students were using earlier in the year and we will also talk about symbols that tell us information about positive behavior. We will also read a book on the American Flag and working on making text to text connections, text to world connections, and text to self connections. Remote students will be getting a separate email with remote plans and any necessary attachments.
