ELA
Module 1:
Curious About Kindergarten
Essential Question: What will I discover in kindergarten?
In this module, children will find out that the year ahead
promises to be full of new experiences. They will meet new people, explore new places, learn new skills, and think of new ideas.
Goals:
- Listening Comprehension
- Oral Language
- Introduce character and setting in a story
- Understand stories have a beginning, middle, and end.
Writing:
Students will generate ideas for writing to express their opinions. They will be introduced to the writing process.
Eureka Math
Module 1: Numbers to 10
Students will...
- explore the attributes of two related objects
- classify to make categories and count
- focus on the Concept of Zero
- Work with numbers 0-10 (different configurations, math drawings, expressions, one more, one less)
Module 2: Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Shapes
Students will…
- find and describe two- and three- dimensional shapes
- explain decisions about classifications of shapes and identify them by name
- identify and sort shapes
Common Core Learning Standards:
K.CC.A.3 - Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
K.CC.B.4 - Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
K.CC.B.5 - Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
K.OA.A.3 - Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
K.MD.B.3 - Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
K.G.A.1 - Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
K.G.A.2 - Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
K.G.A.3 - Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
K.G.B.4 - Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
