  3. Common Core Standards and Grading System • Common Core Standards • National standards (across the united states • Spirals throughout the grades (starting from college readiness to K) http://www.schooltube.com/video/10c8fbda3ffb4b0ebe55/Three-Minute%20Video%20Explaining%20the%20Common%20Core%20State%20Standards

  4. Learning Goals/Targets

  5. Grading System • 4 Above Standard • 3 At Standard • 2 Approaching Standard • 1 Near Standard • 0 Not attempted http://www.stlucie.k12.fl.us/parents-students/k-2-grading.aspx

  6. Concepts About Print Sound Awareness Word Recognition Oral Fluency Vocabulary Comprehension Characters, Setting, Events (Plot) Retells a Story in Sequence Looks for Key Details Blending Segmenting Letter Sounds Text Features In A Text Text Complexity Reading Curriculum These are the main areas of content and substance for the year in Reading.

  7. Reading (small groups) • During centers your child will be pulled into a small group of 4-6 students. • We will work on an appropriate skill with that group. • First grade is the biggest growth in reading. • Students will be learning to decode words like short vowels: cat, pin, Long vowels: heat, gate. Blends:cl, tr, sl, ch, th. • Reading Targets ~ skill of the week (retelling, sequence) • Compound words: homework, railroad. Contractions: I’d, I’ll, he’ll, she’ll. Plurals: boxes, cats. Comparisons: bigger, biggest • Parts of speech, noun, proper nouns, verb, describing words. • Punctuation: capitals, periods, questions marks. • Sentence structure: will write complete and proper sentences with details. Example: I like to go to the park. I like to go to the park and play soccer with my friends.

  8. Sight Words • Sight words are words that do not follow the phonics rules and should be read without hesitation.(most can not be sounded out. Ex. The, come, here, friend) • Each week students will work on sight words. These sight words include a District List and Vocabulary from the weekly story. • Students need to be able to read and write sentences with these sight words. • Parents should help their child recognize these sight words in their weekly readings.

  9. Language Arts/Writing • Students will build the necessary foundations needed in writing sentences by using capital letters, proper punctuation, nouns, verbs, and describing words to write super sentences. • Students will participate in writer’s workshops where they will brainstorm ideas, write drafts, edit and revise their work, and publish their own stories and factual pieces. The students will focus on Narratives, Opinion, and Informative writing pieces. • Students will gain an understanding of using concept webs and other graphic organizers to create a story based on a main theme or write a factual piece on a given topic. They will learn to match their illustrations to their stories.

  10. (some concepts will be introduced, reinforced or taught for mastery) Math Curriculum • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. (drawing pictures, using manipulative) • Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. ( 2+6+4 =2+10=12) 3. Add and subtract within 20. (8+6=8+2+4=10+4=14) 4. Work with addition and subtraction equations. (7=8-1)

  11. Number and Operations in Base Ten • Extend the counting sequence.(Count to 120) 2. Understand place value (23~ 2 tens ,3 ones or 1ten, 13ones) 3. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. (mentally finding 10 more, 10 less)

  12. Measurement and Data Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units. (Ordering objects by length) 2. Tell and write time (tell time by hour and half hour) 3. Represent and interpret data (read and interpret graphs)

  13. Geometry Reason with shapes and their attributes ~ Triangles are closed and three-sided. ~ build shapes (ex. Squares and cubes) ~ fractions (halves, fourths, and quarters)

  14. Science • Scientific Inquiry - five senses, tools for collecting information, draws pictures of observations • Nature of Matter – properties (size, shape, color, texture, etc.), change can happen from cutting, folding, blending, and mixing, solids, liquids, and gases • Force and Motion – push and pull through the use of a magnet • Processes that shape the Earth – materials that make up the earth, objects in the sky at night and day, different kinds of weather seasons • Plants and Animals – needs, how they change, and characteristics of plants, habitats of animals, understands the animal food chain, and knows the names of the animal’s offspring

  15. Citizenship Community Helpers Change Cultures Around the World Following Rules Economics Jobs Geography Goods/Services Historical Figures Social Studies

  16. Assessments • Easy CBM: Administered 3 times per year, tests students on how they are progressing throughout the year academically. (letter sounds, segmenting, word read fluency, passage reading fluency, math) • Journey’s Benchmarks: Administered twice per year. Reading comprehension and math aligned with common core. • Oral Reading Fluency: How fast they are reading. • * Fluency ~ Reading at the rate of speaking. (Not sounding like a robot)

  17. Book Projects • There will be two to three book projects due during the course of the school year. • The two major goals are to help students explore their creativity and develop their skills in presenting in front of the class.

  18. Reminders! • Student Planners should be signed every night. • Check Homework Folders every night and return them to class everyday with the Student Planners. Please, make sure to empty out the Homework Folders on a weekly basis. • Homework is given on Mondays and due on Friday This allows the students to pace themselves during the week. • PLEASE, use the Student Planners for communication. The Planners are checked every morning for notes. • Be sure to check out our website throughout the year for important information and upcoming events! http://www.schoolrack.com/tangs/

  19. Box Tops • We will be collecting box tops throughout the year. • They do expire. • We may win something for our class if we have the most tops.
