JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN MATH By the end of Junior Kindergarten, students will have an understanding of basic math concepts. Students practice counting with one-to-one correspondence, sorting by attributes, patterning and number recognition to 10 and beyond. In addition, students explore measurement using non-standard units and begin to practice estimation skills. Whole-group instruction includes engaging the students in math talks where they study a picture and compare quantities and describe the scene using math vocabulary. Junior Kindergarteners have multiple experiences with concrete objects to build the foundation for number sense, finding patterns and spatial skills that build an excellent mathematical foundation. LEARNING OUTCOMES: MATH • Recognize and write numbers (0 to 10) • Recognize quantities in everyday environments (Subitize to 4 or 5). • Count with 1-1 correspondence to 10. • Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence Counting and (instead of having to begin at 1). Cardinality • Count to answer “how many?” up to 10, in an array of various configurations. • Compare numbers 0-10. Identify whether the number of objects in one group are greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. • Sort and classify objects in various ways. Operations and • Understand, create and continue simple repeating patterns. Algebraic Thinking • Decompose numbers 1-10 into pairs in more than one way. (Classification and • Demonstrates an understanding of addition by adding one more to a given Patterning) number between 0-10. • Demonstrates an understanding of subtraction by taking away one less to a given number between 0-10. • Identify measurable attributes of objects such as length and width. • Be able to use correct vocabulary to describe and compare objects (e.g., small, Measurement and big, short, tall, empty, full, heavy, and light.) Data • Understand comparing, ordering and measuring objects. (using non-standard units) • Describe shapes in everyday environments. • Correctly name shapes (analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes). Geometry • Use mathematical vocabulary to describe positions in space (e.g., above, below. Besides, in front of, behind, and next to). JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS In Junior Kindergarten, students experience daily reading and writing opportunities within a Balanced Literacy program. LEARNING OUTCOMES: ENGLIGH LANGUAGE ARTS • Joining in on refrains or repeated sentences, phrases, and words after hearing a story several times •Identifying the main character(s) in a story Reading (Literature) • Following the events of a simple plot and remembering them enough to discuss or reenact a story • Learning that we read for many reasons, including enjoyment and to explore our world • Asking and answering questions about key information in a nonfiction text Reading • Talking about interesting information learned from a text (Informational) • Noticing and using important information from the pictures • Emerging as readers who know how to hold a book, turn pages, follow print and, as ready, make meaning of the written word • Identifying letters names Reading • Identify a majority of letter sounds (Foundational Skills) • Phonics and Phonological awareness • Identify and produce rhyming words • Blend and segment syllables in spoken words • Beginning to explore the uses of writing with increasing sophistication. • Engaging in writing activities individually or with a group. Writing • Utilizing developmental writing to represent words and ideas. • Demonstrating proper pencil grip and letter formation. • Choosing topics and generating ideas about which to write. • Understanding that writing convey meaning. Listening •Learning the importance of listening carefully and speaking clearly. and Speaking •Utilizing complete sentences when speaking. JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN HISTORY / SOCIAL STUDIES By the end of Junior Kindergarten, students are exposed to a variety of relationships including their family, school and heritage. With an emphasis on students getting to know themselves and their school environment. They are introduced to a variety of cultures and people, building toward a more global perspective. The stories that are read to the students generate an understanding of school community, group cooperation, family, friendship, traditions, environment, far away places, and one's basic needs. Daily interactions reinforce the concept of citizenship and civic behavior, teaching how they should interact with each other, follow rules and respect the rights of others. LEARNING OUTCOMES: HISTORY / SOCIAL STUDIES Content • Understand grade-level history-social studies content. Inquiry • Ask meaningful questions, analyze, and evaluate information and ideas. • Participate actively and collaborate effectively during classroom discussions and Collaboration inquires. SENIOR KINDERGARTEN MATH Senior Kindergarten students focus on two critical areas: 1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and 2) describing shapes and space. The primary focus of kindergarten is building a foundation of number sense. They use numbers to represent quantities and solve problems. Through the study of numbers students will develop cardinality, counting strategies and strategies for joining and separating within 10 and to make ten. Students use math vocabulary to describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g. shape, orientation, spatial relations). LEARNING OUTCOMES: MATH • Count to 100 by ones and tens. Counting and • Write number 0 to 20 and represent a number of objects, with a written Cardinality numeral, up to 20. • Compare numbers between 1 and 10 written as numerals. • Understand addition as putting together, adding; understand subtraction as Operations and taking apart or taking away. Algebraic Thinking • Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10. (Classification and • For any number 1-9, find the number that makes 10 by using objects or Patterning) drawings and record the answer with an equation. • Fluently add and subtract within 5. Number and Operations in • Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value. Base Ten Measurement and • Describe and compare measurable attributes, such as weight and length. Data • Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. • Identify and describe shapes and classify and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes. Geometry • Analyze, compare, create and compose shapes. 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematical Practices 4. Model with mathematics. (Common Core) 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
