UNIT OF INQUIRY
SHARING THE PLANET
Students will observe the cycles and patterns that shape life on Earth. They will learn about day and night, seasons, and plant growth. They will see how these cycles affect living things and their environments. They will recognize patterns and learn to adapt to change. They will think critically, ask questions, and connect ideas as they explore nature’s rhythms.
LANGUAGE
PATTERNS ARE ALL AROUND US
Students will build their understanding of letters and sounds while exploring fiction and non-fiction. They will listen to stories, engage in hands-on activities, and conduct simple research. They will explore language patterns like poetry, rhyme, and sentence structures. They will create pattern books to share information about natural cycles.
PHONOLOGY
In this year-long phonology unit, students will build core skills for reading and spelling. They’ll learn to hear, identify, and spell with phonemes using unigraphs, digraphs, blends, and short vowels. They’ll practice breaking words into sounds, changing phonemes to make new words, and recognizing patterns in word families. These skills will help students understand how spoken language connects to written words.
MATHS
PATTERN & FUNCTION
This is an integrated maths unit where students will explore patterns and how they help us understand the world. They will find, describe, and continue repeating patterns by identifying their units. They will record patterns so others can follow them. Through hands-on activities, they will learn to recognize and create patterns in daily life.
NUMBER OPERATIONS
Students will explore numbers through hands-on activities, stories, and problem-solving. They will add by counting on and subtract by counting back. They will solve missing number problems, use number sentences, and see how parts make a whole. They will learn that addition works in any order, while subtraction depends on order. By visualizing numbers and practicing fair sharing, they will build confidence in using math every day.
