Unit plan calendar for first grade Readers Workshop. This unit supports young readers and sets the foundation for a great year!

In this 5-week unit, students use strategies to solve tricky words. The scope of this unit supports students' development of concrete tools to sound out new words and aligns nicely with daily word work.

Students will be able to: • Write and evaluate one-step equations • Write and evaluate algebraic expressions involving up to three variables • Simplify expressions using the order of operations • Recognize and apply the three properties (distributive, associative, commutative) • Solve one and two step equations involving all 4 operations by getting the variable alone and performing the inverse operation • Divide using cross multiplication

Students will be able to: • Convert fractions and mixed numbers to decimals • Convert decimals to fractions • Use benchmarks and the number line to determine which whole number is closest to the rational number (positive or negative fractions, mixed numbers, decimals) • Compare and order positive and negative rational numbers and place them on a number line

Aligned with first grade CCSS, this 6-week unit helps students become accurate and fluent readers. Readers will use strategies they learned in Unit 2 to decode, while increasing comprehension
