ELA
*With support, retell familiar stories, poems, and nursery rhymes, including key details (K.RL.2.2) - After reading a story with the class, students arrange pictures in an effort to retell the story in the correct order.

MATH
*Attend to precision (PS.6)

MATH
*Use ordinal numbers to create a detailed set of directions (1.NS.3) - Students arrange arrange steps into the appropriate order and then label them first, second, third, etc. (e.g. seed growth steps).
*Attend to precision (PS.6)

ELA
*Give and follow multi-step directions (2.SL.4.3) - Students write step-by-step directions to accomplish a task.

SCIENCE
