Common Core

L.K.1a- print many upper- and lowercase letters
L.K.5a- sort common objects into categories (e.g., shapes, foods) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent
RF.K.1c- understand that words are separated by spaces in print
RF.K.1d- recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet
RF.K.2b- count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words
RF.K.3c- read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does)
RF.K.4- read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding
RI.K.3- with prompting and support, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text
RI.K.7- with prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts)
RI.K.9- with prompting and support, identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic (e.g., in illustrations, descriptions, or procedures)
RL.K.7- with prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts)
W.K.2- use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic
K.CC.A.3- write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects)
K.CC.B.4- understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality
K.G.A.2- correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size

Next Generation Science

K-LS1-1- use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. Examples of patterns could include that animals need to take in food but plants do not; the different kinds of food needed by different types of animals; the requirement of plants to have light; and, that all living things need water.
K-ESS2-2- construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. Examples of plants and animals changing their environment could include a squirrel digs in the ground to hide its food and tree roots can break concrete.

LA.K.2.B.ii- demonstrate and apply phonetic knowledge by: using letter-sound relationships to decode, including VC, CVC, CCVC, and CVCC words
LA.K.2.E- develop handwriting by accurately forming all uppercase and lowercase letters using appropriate directionality
LA.K.3.C- identify and use words that name actions; directions; positions; sequences; categories such as colors, shapes, and textures; and locations
LA.K.5.H- synthesize information to create new understanding with adult assistance
LA.K.5.I- monitor comprehension and make adjustments such as re-reading, using background knowledge, checking for visual cues, and asking questions when understanding breaks down with adult assistance

MA.K.6.D- identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes using informal and formal geometric language interchangeably
SCI.K.9.A- differentiate between living and nonliving things based upon whether they have basic needs and produce offspring
