Math Concepts
During the first quarter, students will learn the following concepts.
Add and subtract within 20 to solve word problems.
Examples:
John had 12 rocks. He found 5 more. How many rocks altogether? Draw a picture and write
the number sentence to solve.
(student draws 12 rocks)
(student draws 5 rocks)
+
=
(12)
(5)
(17)
Mary had 18 pieces of candy. She ate 4 pieces. How many does she have left? Draw a
picture and write the number sentence to solve.
(student draws 18 pieces of candy, then crosses out 4)
-
=
(18)
(4)
(14)
Solve word problems that call for the addition of three numbers whose
sum is less than, or equal to 20.
Example:
Max has 6 red balls, 3 green balls, and 1 yellow ball. How many balls does he have in all?
Draw a picture and write the number sentence to solve.
(student draws 6 red balls, 3 green balls, and 1 yellow ball)

Understand the Commutative Property of addition.
Example:
If 5 + 4 = 9, then 4 + 5 = 9
Understand that when adding three numbers, look first for easy facts.
Example:
When adding 5 + 2 + 5, you can add 5 + 5 first, then add 2 more.
Recognize and understand fact families.
Example:
The numbers 8, 2, and 10 are a fact family.
8 + 2 = 10; 2 + 8 = 10; 10 – 8 = 2; 10 – 2 = 8
This helps to quickly solve addition and subtraction facts. The problem 10-8 is given. You
know 2 is the other number in the fact family and is the answer.
Memorize all facts within 10 (sums equal 10 or less).
Example:
For the first quarter, we will primarily work on quickly adding and subtracting plus & minus 0
facts; plus & minus 1 facts; plus and minus 2 facts; and numbers whose sum equals 10.
Add by counting on.
Example:
When adding 6 + 2, you should not need to count up to 6 first, then count up 2 more.
Simply start on 6 and think/visualize 2 more.
\ Tip: When starting addition and subtraction, use tens frames and place objects (beans)
inside the boxes to help teach visualizing the numbers. Examples and Tens Frames are
attached.
Example: 5 + 2
Example: 7 + 6
Counting and Number Sense
Example:
Students will need to continue working on counting forward and backward by 1s to 100 (and
starting at any number in between); by 5s to 100; by 10s to 100.
Students will also need to know what number comes before and after a given number.
Language Arts Concepts
During the first quarter, students will learn the following concepts.
Writing Concepts
\ Print all upper- and lowercase letters correctly and neatly.
\ Capitalize dates and names of people.
\ Use end punctuation (period, question mark, exclamation point).
\ Use commas in dates and to separate single words in a series.
\ Spell common sight words (list is attached).
\ Spell untaught words the way they sound, and using what sounds/patterns have been taught.
Phonics & Phonemic Awareness
\ Write simple sentences.
\ Know all letter sounds.
\ Distinguish between hearing long & short vowel sounds (just being able to hear the
difference).
\ Build (spell) and break-apart (sound out) simple cvc (consonant-vowel-consonant) words.
Examples: pot, can, bed, hit, cup, etc.
\ Recognize and use digraphs within words (th, sh, ch, wh, -ck).
\ Read common sight words (list is attached).
\ Read root words and their inflectional endings (walk, walked, walks, walking).
Reading - Fiction
\ Describe the characters, setting, and major events (in order), using key details from the story
(this is ongoing throughout the year).
\ Ask and answer simple questions about texts.
\ Identify who is telling the story (a narrator? a character?)
\ Explain the major differences between books that tell stories and books that give information.
Reading - Nonfiction
\ Ask and answer simple questions about texts.
\ Tell the main ideas and details about the text (this is ongoing throughout the year).
Fluency
\ Throughout the year, we will work on reading texts accurately, at an appropriate rate, and
with expression in our voices.
Sight Words – First Nine Weeks
Attached, is a list of sight words covered during the first nine weeks. Words with an * by them are
also expected to be spelled correctly. Additional words will be added during the second, third, and
fourth nine weeks.
Note to teachers who bought this item...
I have not included my sight word list. Everyone teaches different sight words and at
different times. The chances of you and I having the same sight words and spelling words are slim.
If you would like to view my sight words for the entire year, along with my differentiated
spelling lists/word study activities, they are available in my Differentiated Spelling and Sight Word
Program in my TpT store.
