This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Kelsey Eanes teach about describing and sorting shapes.

The Teacher will spinner the spinner and tell the student what part body will go on what color shape.

The purpose of this podcast is to demonstrate fluency of skip counting to 100 by 2s while incorporating physical activity.

 The lesson is designed to build a classroom transformation theme while integrating computer science SOLs into the core curriculum.  These lessons introduce students to basic algorithms and programming vocabulary they would use every day.  The lessons show how easy it is to integrate computer science with a multidisciplinary approach.  The engaging theme of a snow day allows the students to use real-world situations to learn the necessary standards.  “Snow Day!” is a one-day classroom transformation that integrates all of the content areas with computer science.  Students learn new vocabulary from interaction with prior experiences.  By the middle of first grade, they already know how to retell a story in the correct sequence, plan and write sentences, add and subtract, and cut shapes.  They also already know that snow melts.  They will learn simple computer science vocabulary such as algorithm, loop, and debug. 

After reviewing tips for following instructions, students will use plane figures to create a mystery image using their teacher's algorithm. Unfortunately, the teacher's directions are not very precise. Students will lend a hand by giving detailed feedback to debug and clarify the set of ordered instructions to successfully build a snowman.   

This is a remix of Sort and Count II from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/990 The lesson is about sorting and counting 20 or fewer objects to support sol K.1a.  The purpose of this task is for students to sort the same set of objects according to different attributes and to practice counting a given set of 20 or fewer objects.  Students will play this game with a partner in a Scoot style game.  My students love games or activities that get them out of their seats and moving.  Instead of scooting around desks, students will scoot around the room.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Brandon Thompson teach about sorting.

After teaching about sorting objects, students will need some independent practice. In the classroom, students are often able to sort objects physically, but when they are learning online, they may need to do it by a computer program for the sake of teacher assessment. This Google slide deck has three attributes (shape, color, and size) for students to sort the pictures. It also contains some questions about sorting for discussion, whether students are in class or at home.

This is a remix of Start-Stop Counting from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/361.  The purpose of this activity is to give students practice on counting to 100 to support sol K.3a.  Counting skills are essential components of the development of number ideas.  For some Kindergarten students, it is a difficult skill that requires a lot of practice.  This counting activity is like the game Duck Duck Goose except there is no chasing to get a spot.  This fast-paced game will keep your students’ attention because it is so fun!  Also, I have added a 100-chart partner activity for counting to 100.
