LEARNING STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE

Common Core

CCSSRF.K.1d

Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

CCSSRF.K.3

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

CCSSRF.K.3a

Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

CCSSRF.K.3b

Associate the long and short sounds with common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

CCSSSL.K.1a

Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion).

Math

CCSSK.CC.A.1

Count to 100 by ones and by tens.

CCSSK.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).

CCSSK.CC.B.4

Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.

Next Generation Science Standards

NGSSK-ESS3-2

Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather. Emphasis is on local forms of severe weather.

NGSSK-ESS2-1

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. Examples of qualitative observations could include descriptions of the weather (such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, and warm); examples of quantitative observations could include numbers of sunny, windy, and rainy days in a month. Examples of patterns could include that it is usually cooler in the morning than in the afternoon and the number of sunny days versus cloudy days in different months. Assessment of quantitative observations limited to whole numbers and relative measures such as warmer/cooler.
