​QUARTER 2

Students parents participated in our Grade K's Parent Activity! 
​They participated in engaging, hands-on math activities to help learn our grade-level math standards.
 ​​
LANGUAGE ARTS:
MATH:

READING: INFORMATIONAL TEXT
  • RI.K.1:  With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.​RI.K.2:  With prompting and support, identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.
  • RI.K.3:  With prompting and support, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.
  • ​ RI.K.5:  Identify the front cover, back cover, and title page of a book.
  • ​RI.K.6:  Name the author and illustrator of a text and define the role of each in presenting the ideas or information in a text.
  • RI.K.7:  With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).​
  • RI.K.10:  Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding.

READING: FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS
  • K.RF.1:  Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print.
  • K.RF.2:  Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
  • K.RF.3:  Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
  • K.RF.3c:  Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does).
  • K.RF.3d:  Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.

WRITING​
  • K.W.3:  Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened.
  • ​K.W.8:  With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
​
SPEAKING AND LISTENING
  • K.SL.1:  Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics and texts  with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
  • K.SL.2:  Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood.
  • K.SL.3:  Ask and answer questions in order to seek help, get information, or clarify something that is not understood.
  • K.SL.4:  Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support,
  • K.SL.5:  Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.
  • K.SL.6:  Speak audibly and express thoughts, feelings, and ideas clearly provide additional detail.
In addition to making predictions and learning to crispy point when reading, we also started to practice "Marking the Text."  We circled the beginning of the sentence because it helped to show where we start reading, underlined the punctuation because it helped to show where to stop reading, and boxed the high-frequency words that we learned that week. 
COUNTING AND CARDINALITY
  • K.CC.1:  Count to 100 by ones and by tens.
  • K.CC.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.4:  Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
  • ​K.CC.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.CC.6:  Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.
  • K.CC.7:  Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.

OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING
  • K.OA.1:  Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds  (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
  • ​K.OA.2:  Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
  • K.OA.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).
​
MEASUREMENT AND DATA
  • K.MD.2:  Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/”less of” the attribute, and describe the difference.  
While learning measurement, we practiced comparing lengths to create our winter trees!


​SCIENCE:


LIFE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
  • K-LS1-1:  Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

​CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
  • SS.K.6.1:  Explain how and why people from different cultures observe different holidays/celebrations.

HISTORY
  • SS.K.1.1:  Explain change and continuity over time, using calendars and simple timelines.​​
  • SS.K.3.1:  Describe historically significant events and observances in American history.

​POLITICAL SCIENCE/CIVICS
  • SS.K.4.1:  Identify rules that apply in different settings and the results from complying or not complying with these rules.
  • SS.K.5.1:  Describe his or her rights and demonstrate responsibilities of self in classroom, school, and neighborhood settings.
  • ​ SS.K.5.2:  Demonstrate ways to improve the quality of life in own school or community.​
We visited ‘Ilima at Leihano, our community's retirement home.  This was a great opportunity to spread holiday cheer and learn the importance of giving back to our community!
