October Learning Goals
Room 105
Language:
- 1.2 demonstrate an understanding of appropriate listening behaviour by using active listening strategies in a few different situations (e.g., listen without interrupting and wait their turn to speak)
- 1.3 identify a few listening comprehension strategies and use them before, during, and after listening in order to understand and clarify the meaning of oral texts, initially with support and direction
- 1.1 read some different literary texts (e.g., poetry, folktales, fairy tales from diverse cultures, stories, books from home in their first language), graphic texts (e.g., simple maps, charts, diagrams, graphs
- 1.2 generate ideas about a potential topic, using a variety of strategies and resources (e.g., formulate and ask questions such as the five W’s [who, what, when, where, why
Math:
- read and print in words whole numbers to twenty, using meaningful contexts (e.g., storybooks, posters, signs)
- count forward by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, 10’s, and 25’s to 200, using number lines and hundreds charts, starting from multiples of 1, 2, 5, and 10 (e.g., count by 5’s from 15; count by 25’s from 125);
- create a repeating pattern by combining two attributes (e.g., colour and shape; colour and size)
- identify repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns found in real-life contexts (e.g., a geometric pattern on wallpaper, a rhythm pattern in music, a number pattern when counting dimes);
Social Studies:
- identify continents, significant bodies of water, the equator, poles, and hemispheres, using a globe
- identify cardinal directions on a map (i.e., N, S, E, W), and use these directions when locating selected countries
- demonstrate an understanding that there are a variety of countries, continents, physical features, and bodies of water around the world and that their locations can be represented in different ways (map, digital/interactive maps, globes)
Science:
- 2.2 investigate the properties of liquids (e.g., conduct experiments to compare the rate at which different liquids flow) and solids (e.g., conduct experiments to find out ways in which solids can be changed)
- 2.3 investigate, through experimentation, interactions that occur as a result of mixing and/or dissolving liquids and solids (e.g., salt and water, sand and water), liquids and liquids (e.g., oil and water), and solids and solids
