UNIT OF INQUIRY
WHO WE ARE
Students will explore how their abilities, interests, and environment shape their learning. They will ask questions, reflect on their growth, and connect ideas. Through hands-on activities and discussions, students will think deeply, manage themselves, and learn from one another. They will discover similarities and differences as learners and build skills for positive learning habits. This unit encourages curiosity, balance, and reflection through meaningful, inquiry-based experiences.
LANGUAGE
IDEAS ARE EVERYWHERE
Students will explore how stories work and how writers share ideas through words and pictures. They will read, listen to, and view texts to build understanding, ask questions, and create mental images. They will explore features authors use when storytelling, including illustrations, speech bubbles and word choice. They will use new words, and describe characters and settings. Students will write their own simple narratives with clear events, detail, and explore their writer's voice. They will speak, draw, and act out ideas, growing confidence in sharing thoughts and understanding how stories connect us.
PHONOLOGY
In this year-long phonics and spelling unit, students will grow into confident readers and writers. They’ll decode and spell using blends, digraphs, long vowels, and r-controlled sounds. Students will explore word families, affixes, and high-frequency words. They’ll build words by recognizing syllables, bases, and marker letters like silent <e>. By learning spelling patterns and sound-symbol connections, students will read with greater fluency and spell with increasing accuracy.
MATHS
DATA HANDLING
In this integrated unit, students will explore how to organize and sort objects to solve problems. They will learn to describe chances of daily events and identify what is likely or unlikely. They will collect and represent data using diagrams, lists, and graphs. Students will ask questions, gather information, and compare results. They will work with real objects and describe patterns using simple charts. This unit builds skills in recognizing, organizing, and interpreting data from their world.
NUMBER & NUMBER SENSE
In this standalone unit, students will explore numbers and how they work together. They will count forward and backward over 100, break apart numbers and compare numbers based on tens and ones digits. Students will use symbols to show greater than, less than, or equal. They will count by twos, fives, and tens and begin to spot patterns like odd and even. This unit helps build a strong sense of number and how numbers connect.
