Topic Title:

Mastering content and skills through KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING (establishing the purpose of the unit):

What enduring understandings will students gain from this unit? All citizens within a community have certain roles and responsibilities.

GSE Standards

ELA

ELAGSEKRI/L1 With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

ELAGSEKRI3 With prompting and support, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.

ELAGSEKRI8 With prompting and support, identify the reasons an author gives to support points in a text.

ELAGSEKRI9 With prompting and support, identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic (e.g., in illustrations, descriptions, or procedures).

Social Studies

SSKE1 - Describe the work that people do such as: police officer, fire fighter, soldier, mail carrier, farmer, doctor, teacher, etc.

SSKE2 - Explain that people earn income by working.

SSKE3 - Explain how money is used to purchase goods and services.

a. Distinguish goods from services.

SSKE4 Explain that people must make choices because they cannot have everything they want.

SSKG3 State the street address, city, state, and country in which the student lives.

The expectations at this time of the school year are that your child already knows 50 sight words and all of them (100) by May 2024.

Dear DLI Families (k1 & k3),

As we move into the end of the year, we will be focusing on our reading fluency, writing fluency, and Math fluency. Students need to be able to use their skills to read and write. In Math are working on word problems.

Please work on reading with your student every night, letter formation and spelling, as well as Math fluency.

How to Help at Home:

High frequency words/students should know how to spell and read:

It is incredibly important that your student is able to read and spell these words. We are seeing that students that do not know them, are having their reading fluency impeded.

We add new words to this list each week, if your student can fluently read and spell a word. At the end of the year students should be able to read and spell 100 High Frequency words.

Students should be reading at home every night. This can be new books, or the same books over and over. Reading the same book helps build fluency and automaticity in students reading. When students get stuck on a longer word, encourage your student to chunk the word into smaller parts or syllables.

• Count by ones up to 100.
  
• Count by tens up to 100.
• Count by fives up to 100.
• Count backward from 50 to 0.
• Make patterns.
• Use data to create simple graph.
• Review flat shapes (2D) sides and vertices.
