Kindergarten, Quarter
2: December Unit - Retelling Stories
Overview
While continuing to work on phonics skills, students
will learn the basic elements of a book: title, author, front, and back.
Students will begin to placing common words into basic categories (e.g.,
colors, shapes, foods). Students will identify fact from fiction as well
as retell stories with their own words. With guidance, students will
label pictures using phonetic spelling. They will write using words from
a central location (word wall) to put their thoughts on to paper.
