Starting with standard 4.NS.1. The activities in this site help students learn the place values up to 1,000,000, and beyond!!

This activity can focus on standard 4.RL.3.2. It helps the students to learn the sounds of words, then asks them to read through a poem or story and answer questions relating to different perspectives and story lines.

I love this activity so much! It covers multiple standards, but the one I am focusing on is 1.M.3.

I would not glue the coins to the clock like the directions say because I would want the students to be able to find multiple ways of using coins to find different times on the clock.

This is a YouTube video titled "Being a Good Citizen Narration". A book like this is one I would read to my students to teach them what being a good citizen means and ways they can be good citizens themselves (social studies standard 1.2.3).

To cover science standard 1.4.3, I would love to have my students build this ant habitat in a jar for the classroom. From this, students could observe the lifestyle of an ant and all the hard work they do. Drawing a replica of what they see in their jar would be a great art activity to combine with this idea.
