Students will continue reading texts to learn about needs, wants, goods and services. Also, students will begin to discover what plants need to live and grow through listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Students will write poems using the writing process, with a focus on using descriptive words. This will be students’ first experience in writing poems, as kindergarten students are only expected to read poetry not write poetry. Students are NOT expected to write in rhyme. Read aloud a variety of types of poetry so students will understand that not all poems rhyme.
Student will begin to describe how factors or conditions can cause objects, organisms, and systems to either change or stay the same.
Students will also record observations of and describe basic life cycles of animals, including a bird, a mammal, and a fish; and start comparing ways that young animals resemble their parents.
Students will use measuring tools to measure the length of objects to reinforce the continuous nature of linear measurement. Students will tell time to the hour and half hour using analog and digital clocks.
Students will learn about needs and wants and the kind of work people do that helps them get what they need and want. They will be introduced to the concepts of goods, services, making choices, and the value of work.
