During the month of May we will review strategies and genre, we will engage students with the following key focus lessons:
- Building schema for a genre.
- Recognizing elements of a genre.
- Possible options: tall tales, myths, biography, fantasy, historical nonfiction/fiction
- Build a schema for an author
- Recognize characteristics of an author's work
- Possible Options: Andrew Clements, Kate DiCamillo, Patricia Reilly Giff, Louis Sachar, Roald Dahl
- Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- Count to 100 by ones and by tens.
- 2. Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
- We will observe and communicate that animals (including humans) and plants need food, water, and air to survive. Animals get food from plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and need light to live and grow.
- Recognize that all plants and animals grow and change over time.
