 Miss Wiscombe’s Class News letter

Reading: Informational Text Standard 2 Grade 3 


Ed Tech Standard 6 
Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests. (4)

The Intended Learning Outcomes described below reflect the belief that kindergarten, first, and second grade education should address the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and ethical development of children. While the Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade Core Curriculum focuses primarily on content and the intellectual development of children, it is important to create a classroom culture that fosters development of many aspects of a person. By nurturing development in these interrelated human domains, young people will be healthy and discover varied and exciting talents and dreams. They will be socially and civically competent and able to express themselves effectively.
The outcomes identified below are to provide a direction for general classroom instruction, management, culture, environment, and inclusion. These outcomes should be interwoven throughout the Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade Core Curriculum, which offers more specific and measurable standards for instruction.
Understand and use basic concepts and skills.
  1. Develop phonological and phonemic awareness.
     
  1. Decode, read, and comprehend written text and symbols.
  1. Develop vocabulary.
  1. Develop reasoning and sequencing skills.
  1. Demonstrate problem-solving skills.
  1. Observe, sort, and classify objects.
  1. Make and interpret representations, graphs, and models.
  1. Recognize how content ideas interconnect.
  1. Make connections from content areas to application in real life. 

This will help the students to understand what will be happened for the week. Also it will be a great help for the parents as well so that they can be more evolved with their chills learning experience.

Getting to know your animals



The standard is Standard 2 Object is Social studies 3
Ed Tech Standard 6 

Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests. (4)

This is my Storybird book, It will show different animals from different parts of the world.
I wanted to share a story about some of my favorite animals and where they live. I always enjoyed story time in school and I want my students to enjoy it too.
Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.
  1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
  2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.
  3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.
This is important because children need to have a good imagination, by reading to them and having 
them pick out books to read on their own it will spark a love for learning.  This will also help them to have a good imagination that will help them later on in life.

The First Thanksgiving



Glogster 

Social Studies - Kindergarten
Standard 1 Objective 1
Ed Tech standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (3, 4)

Young children possess a keen sense of curiosity and a drive to make sense of their expanding world. 
Kinder-garten, first and second grade students have the capacity to understand themselves and the
cultures that surround them.  In order to prepare students to be knowledgeable citizens and leaders in
a diverse and fast-paced world, the K-2 Social Studies Curriculum helps students recognize various
cultures, traditions, and belief systems and their contributions to our society.
The First Thanksgiving. The purpose of this was to help young children learn about the first Thanksgiving and how we should be friends with everyone and be kind to every one. The big idea was that the Pilgrims were not able to harvest any crops that winter and they had to be friends with the Native Americans to survive the winter.

Home work for my Childhood class.


Reading: Informational Text Standard 6 
Ed Tech Standard 3
Discuss basic issues related to responsible use of technology and information; and describe personal consequences of inappropriate use. (2)
The Standards set requirements not only for English language arts (ELA) but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the Standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. Literacy standards for grade 6 and above are predicated on teachers of ELA, history/social studies, science, and technical subjects using their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields. It is important to note that the 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are not meant to replace content standards in those areas but rather to supplement them.


Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text.

This will help them to pull the information out of papers that is vital but still injoy the novital information that they read as well.
