Grade 1-2 Reading and Writing
In our work with students,we help them become readers and writers in the fullest sense. In this unit, we will be establishing student habits as readers and writers and teach them to use a whole repertoire of strategies to read, write, and comprehend text. We will also be setting up the structure and expectations for a balanced literacy program that includes read aloud, shared reading, guided reading, independent reading. In this unit children produce small moment stories and move with independence through the writing process by sketching, writing, revising, and editing. In this unit writers work towards writing narratives in which they recount 2 or more sequenced events, including details, using temporal words to signal event order and to provide some sense of closure. Children work in partnerships to respond to questions and comments from peers to add details to their writing.
This unit should take from 5-6 weeks.

Science Organisms 
The focus of this unit is to observe and collect data on the changes that happen in life cycles, and then record that information accurately with pictures (scientific representations) and words (labels). The focus should guide students to understand that ALL organisms have a life cycle (even the ones that don't go through metamorphosis) and the female adult organisms reproduce and die. The cycle begins again with a NEW organism (the baby).
