|Title: |All About Me |Subject/Course: |Language Arts, math, social studies and health |

|Topic: |Thematic Study About Me |Grade: |Kindergarten to First|Designer: |Jodi Beaty |

| |

| |

|Stage 1 – Desired Results |

|Established Goals: |

| |

|What do first graders like to talk about when they come back to school? You probably guessed it. They like talking about themselves! So, why not start the year |

|off letting them do just that as you can get to know them, too! Help students celebrate their individuality and learn about likenesses and differences. This unit |

|builds those important beginning of the year skills and a sense of family in your classroom. Along with language arts, this thematic study integrates math, social|

|studies, and health. |

| |

|Common Core Standards: |

| |

|Reading Foundational: Phonics and Word Recognition: 1.RF.3 |

|Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. |

|a. Know the spelling-sound correspondences for common consonant digraphs (two letters that represent one sound). |

|b. Decode regularly spelled one-syllable words. |

|c. Know final -e and common vowel team conventions for representing long vowel sounds. |

|d. Use knowledge that every syllable must have a vowel sound to determine the number of syllables in a printed word. |

|e. Decode two-syllable words following basic patterns by breaking the words into syllables. |

|f. Read words with inflectional endings. |

|g. Recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words. |

| |

|Reading Foundational: Fluency: 1.RF.4 |

|Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension. |

|a. Read grade-level text with purpose and understanding. |

|b. Read grade-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression. |

|c. Use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary. |

| |

|Writing: Text Types and Purposes: 1.W.1 |

|Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply a reason for the opinion, and provide |

|some sense of closure. |

| |

|Writing: Text Types and Purposes: 1.W.2 |

|Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some sense of closure. |

| |

|Speaking and Listening: Comprehension and Collaboration: 1.SL.1 |

|Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups. |

|a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others with care. speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). |

|b. Build on others’ talk in conversations by responding to the comments of others through multiple exchanges. |

|c. Ask questions to clear up any confusion about the topics and texts under discussion. |

| |

|Language: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use: 1.L.6 |

|Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using frequently occurring conjunctions to |

|signal simple relationships (e.g., I named my hamster Nibblet because she nibbles too much because she likes that). |

| |

|Number and Operations in Base Ten: Extend the counting sequence: 1.NBT.1 |

|Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. |

| |

|Measurement and Data: Describe and Compare Measureable Attributes: K.MD.2 |

|Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For |

|example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. |

| |

|Measurement and Data: Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units: 1.MD.2 |

|Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the|

|length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured |

|is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps. |

| |

|Measurement and Data: Represent and interpret data: 1.MD.4 |

|Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, |

|Stage 3 – Learning Plan |

|W = Where the unit is going and what is expected from the unit? |

| |

|Throughout this unit students will be performing several tasks and authentic assessments. They will be learning about themselves, not only their names but |

|also what makes them unique and different from other students. |

| |

|H = Hook all students and Hold their interest? By posing the following questions: |

| |

|· What makes you special? |

|· How am I different from other students? |

|· How am I the same from other students? |

|· I am important because … ? |

| |

|E = Equip students, help them Experience the key ideas and Explore the issues? |

| |

|Through multiple group discussions prompted by guiding questions, the teacher provides a framework for each lesson, but the open-ended nature of the unit |

|still allows for students to apply and interpret their understanding in their own unique way. |

| |

|R = Provide opportunities to Rethink and Revise their understandings and work? |

| |

|Students are required to record their thoughts, ideas and reflections through multiple journal entries throughout this unit. Moreover, the open-ended nature |

|of the unit allows students to share their understanding and interpretations through their completed artwork, lesson plans and journals. |

| |

|E = Allow students to Evaluate their work and its implications? |

| |

|The unit is designed to allow for students to summarize what they have learned. Students will be encouraged to be discerning in their observations and |

|understanding without fear of penalization. Student friendly assessments and rubric are included with this unit. |

| |

|T = be Tailored to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners? |

| |

|This unit offers many types of leaning activities and allows the learner to participate according to their talents and interests. This allows the student |

|many different choices, infinite interpretations of authentic performance tasks, while allowing them to be evaluated using a common criteria. |

| |

|O = Be Organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning? |

| |

|The unit is organized to flow naturally from one activity to the other as the students gain and transfer knowledge. The reflections back on the past days |

|activity will keep the students engaged and want to continue with the future lessons of the unit. |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Learning Activities |

| |

|Day 1 : Diagnostic Assessment |

| |

|Day 2 : Pass the Manners, Please |

|This is the first lesson in the All About Me Unit. |

| |

|Day 3 : Name Fame |

|In this lesson, students learn the uniqueness of their names by reading the book, Chrysanthemum, and completing other integrated math counting and graphing |

|activities. |

| |

|Day 4 : Mirror, Mirror |

|In this lesson students practice important beginning reading skills with poems and the big book, In the Mirror. They learn some new vocabulary about |

|themselves and they celebrate that their bodies are alike, but also different! |

| |

|Day 5 and 6: How Do I Measure Up? |

|In this lesson, students find out more about their bodies and what makes them different by tracing each their partners' bodies on butcher paper. They record |

|their heights and weights, and then compare them to the others in the class. |

| |
