I Cans
"I Can" statements help us to focus on specific learning targets for each quarter. These correspond to the standards assessed on the report cards sent home each nine weeks.
Math

Count on to add and count back to subtract
Add and subtract to 10
Find the unknown number in an addition equation (3 + ? = 10)
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
Count by ones and by tens to 60
Read and write numbers to 60
Use the symbols >, =, and < to compare two numbers
2nd Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
Solve addition and subtraction story problems to 12
Solve subtraction combinations using related addition facts (i.e. 10-8=2 because 8+2=10)
Count on to add and count back to subtract
Develop strategies for adding to 20 and subtracting to 10
Find the unknown number in an addition and subtraction equations (3 + ? = 10)
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
Count by ones and by tens to 120
Read and write numbers to 120
Compare pairs of 2-digit numbers using the symbols >,=, and <
I Can understand and use place value
Understand that the two-digits of a number tell how many tens and ones are in the number
Add 2-digit numbers that are multiples of 10 (i.e. 30+40=70)
Find 10 more or 10 less than various 2-digit numbers
Subtract 2-digit numbers that are multiples of 10 (i.e. 40-20=20)
3rd Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
Solve addition and subtraction story problems to 20
Solve subtraction combinations using related addition facts (i.e. 14-10=4 because 10+4=14)
Use strategies for adding and subtracting to 20
Demonstrate fluency with addition and subtraction facts to 10
Understand the meaning of the equal sign
Identify equations that involve addition & subtraction as true or false (i.e.7=3+4 is true; 10-2=4+1 is false)
Find the unknown number in addition & subtraction equations
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
Read numbers between 100 and 120
Understand that the two-digits of a number tell how many tens and ones are in the number
I Can measure lengths with nonstandard units.
Put three objects in order by length
Compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object

Divides circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts, and describes the parts using words like halves, quarters, fourths
4th Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
Solve story problems that involve adding three numbers
Understand the commutative & associative properties of addition (i.e. 2 + 3 is the same as 3 + 2 and 3 + (4+5) is the same as (3+4) + 5)
Add 2-digit numbers using at least two different strategies (i.e. 30+40, 50+7, 24+39) ; and can explain how these strategies work
I Can understand and use place value.
Find 10 more or 10 less than various 2-digit numbers and explains the reasoning behind the answer
