Kindness Counts! Lesson 2
Lesson 37 from Open Up Resources Unit 2: Summing It Up for 1st Grade level instruction.
Module 4 description: Module 4 will include two units: Exploring Our World and Summing It Up. Unit 2: The Summing It Up unit will allow students to demonstrate the reading and writing skills they learned throughout the year. Students will use Shared Reading and ELA texts as inspiration for their writing pieces, showing their comprehension of texts by expressing their ideas about the content. Students will have the opportunity to exhibit their writing skills in all three writing genres: narrative, informative, and opinion. The Book of the Year culminating task will allow students to showcase their end-of-the-school-year literacy achievement.
