ELA
Module 1: Toys and Play
Unit Summary: In this module, students will build their literacy and citizenship skills as they engage in a study of toys and play.
Unit Tasks:
In Unit 3, students deepen their understanding of perspective as they read the text Have Fun, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell. Students also learn about toys from a historical perspective using the text Playing with Friends: Comparing Past and Present by Rebecca Rissman. As a culmination of the unit, students interview a classmate about his or her preferred classroom toy. They use the information from the interview to create their performance task: an informational piece of writing and drawing about their classmate’s preferred toy and how the classmate likes to play with it.
Module 2: Weather Wonders
Module Summary: In this module, students build their literacy and science skills as they engage in a study of the weather. The module begins with a story about a young girl named Sofia who is curious about the weather. Sofia wants to learn more about how she can be prepared for any type of weather, and she asks the kindergarten students to help her in this quest.
Unit Tasks:
In Unit 1, students study the science of weather through various informational texts. They create a class weather journal and track their individual learning in a meteorologist’s notebook.
Eureka Math
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)
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).
