Expectation:

• Demonstrate an understanding of numbers, using concrete materials to explore and investigate counting, quantity, and number relationships

Learning Goal: 

• use one-to-one correspondence when counting objects

• counting in stable order (the concept that the counting sequence is always the same) and number relationships (one-more / one-less, more than / less than) as well as recognizing quantity

• subitizing to 5 and 6 on our fingers and dice (the concept of identifying numbers without having to count)

• representing and understanding numbers to 5 (JK) / 10 (SK)

Expectation:

• Explore, sort, build and compare the attributes and properties of traditional and non-traditional two-dimensional shapes.

• Compose pictures, designs, shapes, and patterns, using two-dimensional shapes; predict and explore reflective symmetry in two-dimensional shapes; and decompose two-dimensional shapes into smaller shapes and rearrange the pieces into other shapes, using various tools and materials.

Learning Goals:

• identify and name common shapes (square, rectangle, circle, and triangle)

• describe the attributes of each shape (sides, points). 

• make shapes with shapes

• create pictures and designs using 2D shapes

• create designs that are symmetrical using 2D shapes

Expectation

• Investigate and describe how objects can be collected, grouped, and organized according to similarities and differences.

Learning Goal

• create groups based on shared attributes and explain how groups were made

  • JKs - sorting by colour groups

  • SKs - sorting by a variety of attributes (colour, size, shape)

• investigate the similarities and differences in premade groups

Expectation

• Recognize, explore, describe, and compare patterns, and extend, translate, and create them, using the core of a pattern and predicting what comes next

Learning Goals

• explain what a pattern is and how to know if something is a pattern or not

• find the core of the pattern (how many parts are in the pattern)

• create a pattern independently

• finish a pattern

• remake a pattern using different materials

• name and create different types of patterns using different attributes

  • JKs - repeating AB colour pattern

  • SKs - show a variety of pattern types (AB, ABC, ABB, AAB, etc.) with different attributes (colours, shapes, size).

Learning Goals

• develop a foundational knowledge of letter sounds

• develop a foundational knowledge of letter symbols 

• segment and count the syllables in words

• create and name rhyming pairs

• isolating the beginning and ending sounds of a word 

• introducing the digraphs 'sh' and 'ch'

Learning Goals

• identify the different parts of a fiction book (cover, title, author, and illustrator).

Learning Goal:

• Make logical predictions before reading using clues from the cover (illustrations, title, author)

• Make logical predictions while reading using examples or prior knowledge to justify answers

• Reflect on predictions

Learning Goal:

• I can spell my name independently

• I can print uppercase letters

• I can print lowercase letters (SK especially)

• I try my best to make my printing legible, staying on the line with uniform letters

• I can copy texts from my environment

*This is a continuing learning skill that we will be working to develop over the course of the year.

Expectation:

• Compose and decompose quantities to 5 (JK) and 10 (SK)

• Investigate addition and subtraction through strategies and manipulatives 

Learning Goal: 

• understand that addition/composing is joining together to create a greater value

• understand that subtraction/decomposing is taking a whole unit apart (take away) to create a smaller value. 

• experiment with different strategies and tools to solve problems (number line, rekenrek, counters, fingers, mental math).

Expectation:

• Explore different Canadian coins

Learning Goal: 

• Become familiar with the different coins - their symbols and value/worth

Expectation:

• Describe, investigate, build, and compare the attributes and properties of traditional three-dimensional figures.

Learning Goals:

• identify and name common figures (cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid, prisms)

• describe the properties of each figure (sides, points). 

• build 3D figures with various materials

Expectation

• measure, using non-standard units of the same size, and compare objects, materials, and spaces in terms of their length, mass, capacity, area, and temperature, and explore ways of measuring the passage of time.

Learning Goal

• use appropriate language to compare objects (short vs. long, heavy vs. light, empty vs. full, hot vs. cold, short vs. tall).

• exploring different measurement tools, determining the measurement of various objects showing an understanding that the object and tool measure need to be equal.

Expectation

• Use mathematical language to describe probability in situations (always/sometimes/never, likely/unlikely)

Learning Goals

• I can describe an event or situation as an always, sometimes, and never possibility

• I can determine and name the possibility of a specific event's likelihood

Learning Goals

• segmenting the sounds of 3 letter words

• blending the sounds of 3 letter words

• isolating the middle sound of a three-letter word

• introducing the digraphs 'th' and 'ph'

• sound manipulations (deletion, substitution) 

Learning Goals

• Explore the difference aspects of a fiction book vs. a non-fiction book

Learning Goal:

• Identify the different parts of a fictional story (setting, characters, problem, solution).

• Compare and contrast stories

*During this learning focus, we will be reading and studying fairy tales*

Learning Goal:

• I label my pictures/stickers

• I am learning the concepts of print and sentence structure

  • I start with an uppercase letter

  • I use punctuation and understand that different punctuation tells my reader how to read my words (.!?)

  • I use finger spaces between my words.

*This is a continuing learning skill that we will be working to develop over the course of the year.
