First Quarter: Math Read, Write, and Count to 120 (1. NBT. 1) *120 is the goal by the end of the year* Starting at any number they should be able to continue the sequence: 3, 4, 5, __, __ 46, __, 48, __, __ **counting across a decade __, 108, 109, __, __ **numbers in the 100 s tend to be the most tricky This skill really supports the concept of counting on to solve problems
First Quarter: Math Addition and Subtraction within 20 (1. OA. 1, 1. OA. 4, 1. OA. 5, 1. OA. 6, 1. OA. 8 ) Solve a variety of isolated equations: Addition Subtraction 5+ 3 = __ 8 - 6 = __ 9+ __ = 12 13 - __ = 4 __ + 3 = 17 __ - 7= 2 10= 4+ __ 14= 10 -__ ** we like to see students draw pictures that MATCH the equation so we can see their thinking
First Quarter: Math Addition and Subtraction within 20 (1. OA. 1, 1. OA. 4, 1. OA. 5, 1. OA. 6, 1. OA. 8 ) Use addition and subtraction within a number story: Addition Subtraction I had 4 pencils and then bought 8 more. I had 10 pencils and then 2 broke. How many pencils do I have? many pencils are left? 10 -2= __ 4+ 8 = __ I have 5 green pencils and 2 yellow pencils. How many pencils do I have? 5 + 2 = __ I had 10 pencils and some broke. Now I only have 6. How many pencils broke? 10 - __ = 6 I had 8 pencils and then I found some more. Now I have 14. How many pencils did I find? 8 + __ = 14 I had some pencils and 6 broke. Now I only have 1 pencil. How many did I have to start with? __ -6 = 1 • • * The picture and equation should match the story * Students should use a symbol to show the unknown number
First Quarter: Math Subtraction and Addition are Related (1. OA. 4) 10 8 You can find the unknown by using addition 8+ __ = 10 You can find the unknown by using subtraction 10 -8 = __
First Quarter: Math Counting On as Addition and Subtraction (1. OA. 5) adding 1 subtracting 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Reading �Phonics skills (Letterland): word sorts, decodable stories, small group practice �Comprehension skills: Interactive read alouds, mini-lessons, independent practice, small group discussions
First Quarter: Reading Ask and Answer Questions About the Text (RL 1. 1, RI 1. 1) Ask questions before, during, and after reading. Before Reading During Reading After Reading What do I think will happen? What might happen next? Text Specific Questions I wonder why…? What am I confused about? Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? What do I already know? What do I want to know? What did I learn?
First Quarter: Reading Retelling (RL 1. 2, RI 1. 2) Fiction Text Informational Text Sequence key events Identify the main topic Recall key details (Who? Where? When? What? Why? How? ) Recall key details/facts Show understanding of the author’s lesson
First Quarter: Reading Know and Apply Grade-level Phonics and Word Analysis Skills (RF 1. 3) Decode regularly spelled one-syllable words with these sounds: short vowels in one syllable words double consonants th, ch, wh Use the skills of ‘stretching out’ or ‘finger sounding’ to hear the sounds and then blend Unknown Words � Make the sounds and write them down **The tri-weekly assessment is used as a grade. It assesses sounds from the last 3 weeks to look for mastery of current & previous sounds.
Writing �Content and convention skills are introduced and modeled with books and written examples �Small group and individual conferences to reinforce skills and discuss strengths/areas for improvement �Whole group sharing of skills that were used
First Quarter: Writing Narrative Writing (W 1. 3) Small moment, personal narrative Recount 2 or more sequenced events Include some key details Provide closure to the story sounds Use some basic capitalization and punctuation Spell unknown words using learned sounds from Kindergarten and First Grade Use previously learned sight words
First Quarter: Social Studies �I am a Citizen of My Community Discuss why rules are important in different settings Discuss the role of authority figures in different settings Discuss ways conflict can be resolved in different settings
First Quarter: Science �Balance and Motion Understand how forces affect the motion of an object Explain the important of a push or pull to changing the motion of an object Explain how some forces can be used to make thing move without touching them (ie. Magnets) Predict the effect of a given force on the motion of an object
Conduct and Work Habits � Conduct: - Is cooperative - Shows respect for others - Observes rules and procedures � Work Habits: - Uses time wisely - Is attentive and listens - Completes assignments - Works independently/seeks help when needed - Follows directions - Writes legibly - Completes homework **These skills are reflected on interims and report cards.
Homework � The daily recommended time for first grade homework is 20 - 30 minutes (in addition to their nightly 20 minutes of reading). � A monthly homework sheet will be sent home at the beginning of the month describing each night’s assignment. � A weekly homework packet will be sent home each Monday with the assignments. All assignments will be due on Friday. � Homework is intended to be simple enough that your child could complete it independently, but parental guidance is encouraged! � Use videos and resources posted on the first grade website to support you with homework and practice. � Grade level newsletters will be sent home monthly to highlight the standards taught in the classroom.
Behavior � We will use a variety of positive reinforcement techniques to guide children in making good behavior choices. If a difficulty arises, our goal is to help students solve their own problems by meeting with children and giving them the opportunity to discuss what happened and to decide how to best resolve that problem. We will guide children toward personal responsibility and decision-making skills they will need to be successful in life.
Interim Reports � Interims come midway through the quarter. (Sent home on Tuesday. ) The purpose of interims is to notify parents of their student’s understanding of 1 st quarter expectations up to that point. The standards seen on the interims will be reassessed by the end of the quarter. � Assessment folders will come home with interims and report cards. Please sign all assessments and the envelope and return to school.
Report Cards �Report cards are sent home at the end of each quarter. �To determine a student’s grade in literacy and math, teachers collect data from work samples, assessments and classroom observations.
Lunch/Snack Reminders • Snack: • Please send in needed utensils. • Please keep your child’s lunch account current or send in lunch money when buying. You can send in money or add money to the account online. The school does not have the funds to loan money to students.
