Reading Focus: Comprehension Strategies (making predictions, visualize, questioning)
Learning Goal: identify a variety of reading comprehension strategies before, during, and after reading to understand increasingly complex texts
I can...
...read a variety of texts
...use comprehension strategies to help understand the text
...dig deeper into the text and identify the purpose or meaning
...share my thinking
...respond in complete ways about what I read by using evidence and examples from the text

Before, during, and after reading any piece of text, make predictions. Children can find clues in the book title, the illustration on the front cover as well as pictures inside the book to predict what the story is about. By activating prior knowledge they can get at the deeper meanings, learn to read between the lines, and take further steps for developing a love for literature.

Mathematics: Number Sense (+Patterning)
Learning Goal: use mental math strategies, select tools and manipulatives, patterning
I can...
...use strategies when working with numbers (e.g., mental strategies, counters)
...select tools that will help math thinking
...identify the fact pairs to 10, doubles, near doubles, skip count
...begin to decompose numbers, such as 12 or 16, using equations
...begin using an open number line to add, find patterns, subtract, multiply
...explore a variety of patterns (e.g., repeating, geometric, numeric, linear, growing)

I Spy! Look for patterns in our world. Repeating, geometric, or numeric...how do humans use patterns?
