HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES

Students will explore how stories are created, shared, and expressed. They will discover that stories have different purposes and can be told through words, pictures, movement, and music. They will see how stories connect people, cultures, and ideas. They will learn how stories are passed down over time. This inquiry will inspire creativity, communication, and an appreciation for different perspectives.

THE MAGIC OF STORYTELLING

This is a fully integrated language unit where students will explore storytelling while building literacy skills. They will engage in oral storytelling, drama, picture books, and shared writing. They will learn to structure stories with a beginning, middle, and end. They will create and share their own stories using words, pictures, and actions. Through listening, retelling, and writing, they will gain confidence in sequencing and expressing their ideas.

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.

DATA HANDLING

Students will learn to sort, organize, and understand information. They will group objects by attributes and use pictures, diagrams, and materials to show data. They will collect information to answer questions and solve problems. They will use graphs to interpret their findings and make predictions to support decisions. They will build confidence in organizing and understanding information.

FRACTIONS

Students will explore wholes and parts. They will learn that a whole can be one object or a group of objects. They will see how all parts together make a whole. Students will practice dividing objects into equal groups to share fairly. Through hands-on activities, they will learn to group, share, and combine objects in everyday situations.
