CCSS: RI 1.5 Students will know and use
various text features (e.g. headings, tables
of contents, glossaries, electronic menus,
icons) to locate key facts or information in
a text.
First, we will read a non-fiction (informational text).
Next, we will identify the text features.
Last, we will discuss how the text features help us
as readers.
CCSS: Operations and Algebraic Thinking
1.OA.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency
for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as
counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14);
decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 –
1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and
subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 =
4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g.,
adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 =
12 + 1 = 13).

This week’s focus text is: We are building fluency and
