HOW WE ORGANIZE OURSELVES

Students will investigate how people work together to meet the needs of their community. They will explore the roles, responsibilities, and functions that help communities succeed. Through inquiry, they will make connections, solve problems, and reflect on their actions. Students will practise self-management and thinking skills as they communicate ideas and cooperate with others. This unit builds understanding of responsibility and shows how everyone can make a difference.

REAL LIFE INVESTIGATORS

Students will explore facts by asking questions, finding information, and using nonfiction text features. They will read books, watch videos, and make observations to learn more about the world. They will build vocabulary and organize their ideas using headings, diagrams, and keywords. Students will write simple sentences, add details, and revise their work to improve accuracy. They will create All About books, posters, and dioramas to share their learning clearly and confidently with others.

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.

NUMBER OPERATIONS

Students will explore how numbers work together through addition and subtraction. They will build fluency adding and subtracting within 20 and use different strategies and tools to solve problems with numbers up to 100. They will learn that addition can be done in any order, but subtraction cannot. Students will solve word problems using mental math and visual models. They will double numbers and count in groups or 2s, 5s and 10s. This unit builds confidence and flexibility with number operations in real-life contexts.

SHAPE & SPACE

Students will explore 2D and 3D shapes and describe their features. They will sort, name, draw, and build shapes, and discover how some shapes are related. Students will find symmetry in the world around them and create their own symmetrical designs. They will use position words to describe where objects are and follow directions to navigate space. This unit helps students understand shapes, space, and patterns in their environment.
