Apply elements (line, shape, form, texture, color, and space) and principles (repetition, variety, rhythm, proportion, movement, balance, emphasis) in work that effectively communicates ideas. Construct meaning and develop well-supported interpretations in works of art based on personal response, properties found in the work, peer perspectives, and research-based background information. |
Sing a diverse repertoire of songs with varied accompaniment and including other cultures and languages, adding any movement considered intrinsic to authentic performance of the music. Sing partner songs, rounds, and songs with ostinatos. Follow the cues of a conductor. Play pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments, keyboards, and recorders (as identified by curriculum) using correct techniques for holding instruments and producing sound. Improvise a melodic variation of a familiar song or musical phrase. |
Practice combinations of movement skills for specific sports. Apply the concept of practice to improve movement skills.
Demonstrate regular participation in health-related physical fitness activities outside of class.

Week 9

Use objects, drawings, mental images, sounds, etc., to represent addition and subtraction within 10. Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle. Count up to 10 objects in a scattered configuration. Count out the number of objects, given a number from 1 to 20. Use objects, drawings, etc., to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, and record each decomposition with a drawing or an equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). [In Kindergarten, students should see equations and be encouraged to trace them, however, writing equations is not required.] Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9 (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation. Recognize sets of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting. Describe the positions of objects and geometric shapes in space using the terms inside, outside, between, above, below, near, far, under, over, up, down, behind, in front of, next to, to the left of and to the right of. Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles). Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more. |
