Common Core

• CCSS.RF.K.1– Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print.
• CCSS.RI.K.7 – With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).
• CCSS.SL.K.5 – Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.
• CCSS.CCRA.R.7 – Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.
• CCSS.L.K.5a – Sort common objects into categories (e.g., shapes, foods) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.
• NGSSK-ESS3-1 Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their surroundings make up a system.
• NGSS2-LS4-1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats. Assessment does not include specific animal and plant names in specific habitats.
