CCSS: RL1.3 Students will describe
setting, characters, and major events in a
story using key details.
We use a “Retell Rope” to identify and describe a
story’s setting, characters, problem, major events from
the beginning, middle, end, and the solution.
This week’s focus text is:
Giraffes Can’t Dance
by Giles Andreae
CCSS: NBT.2 Understand that the two digits of a
two-digit number represent amounts of tens and
ones.
This week we will focus on counting strategies that
include making groups of ten. The tens place is the
number of groups and the ones place is the leftovers
(not in a group of 10).

. We will be learning about

Growth Mindset and the
Power of Yet.
