STANDARDS AT HOME 1st Grade Activities

Standards-based activities that bridge the gap between home and

school. The Standards at Home (SAH) Project was developed by the Office of Parent Relations to give parents tools to successfully partner with their children’s school to support classroom learning. The Office of Parent Relations was fortunate to work with Teneh Weller of the High Expectations Parental Service to create these activities. Teneh Weller is a former teacher at SFUSD’s George Washington Carver Elementary and has recently become a full-time parent educator. The SAH Project is partially funded by a generous grant from the Walter and Elise Haas Fund.

Dear Teachers, For many of our students, a little extra practice is all they need to improve their performance in a specific content area. Parents are often willing to support their child’s learning at home. All they need are quick and easy activities that will help their children master the content standards. The Standards At Home activities place this resource right at your fingertips! As you complete report cards for your students, identify areas where they need extra reinforcement. For several of the content standards listed on your report card, we are providing activities that parents can use at home with their children. The activities are designed to allow parents to support what you teach in the classroom by using everyday life experiences as learning opportunities. While the activities are intended to be self-explanatory, if you go over them with your parents, you will most likely increase their effectiveness. We truly hope these activities support you in our endeavors to improve student achievement. Sincerely, Deena Zacharin Teneh Weller SFUSD Parent Relations Office High Expectations Parental Service


Standards At Home Go Rhyme!

1st Grade Standard: Reading 1.6 Creates/ States series of rhyming words Background Information: Rhyming words are words that end with the same sound (i.e. cat, chat, sat, mat). The words do not need to have the same end spelling (i.e. fly, cry, high). In this activity, you and your family can play a fun game while helping your child learn more about rhyming words. What To Do:

1. Get a pack of index cards to create a deck. Write the given list of rhyming words on the index cards. Write one word on each card.

2. Shuffle the deck of rhyme words. Deal 5 cards per player and place

the remaining cards in the center of the table, face down.

3. The player to the left of the dealer begins by asking another player, “Do you have a word that rhymes with ____?” They should choose one of the words in their hand.

4. If the person has the rhyming word, they give it to the player who

asked the question. That player places their match down and asks another player for another rhyming word.

5. If the player does not have a match, they say, “Go Rhyme!” and

the player picks a card from the deck. It is now the next player’s turn.

6. When a player runs out of cards, the game is over. Whoever has the

most matches, wins.

Standards At Home The Rhyme Time Race

1st Grade Standard: Reading 1.6

Creates/ States series of rhyming words

Background Information: Rhyming words are words that end with the same sound (i.e. cat, chat, sat, mat). The words do not need to have the same end spelling (i.e. fly, cry, high). In this activity, you and your family can race to see who can come up with the most rhyming words. On the next page you will find a list of word families that will help you play the game. What To Do: 1. This is a race to see who can come up with the most rhyming words

for a particular word.

2. Choose a simple word (i.e. pot) and challenge your child to a race.

3. Take turns coming up with a rhyming word. The word must be an actual word and not an imaginary word.

4. The last person that is able to come up with a word wins the round.

Standards At Home Word Swap


Changes target sounds to change words.

Background Information: Learning patterns within words help a child to identify words and read fluently. For example, if a child knows that /at/ spells “at”, they are able to change the beginning letter to form new words like “hat”, “sat”, and “mat”. In this activity, you and your child will have a little fun working on the skill of changing initial sounds to create new words. What To Do: 1. Cut out the “initial sound” cards and place them in a stack. 2. Cut out the “final sound” cards and place them in a separate stack. 3. Choose one final sound card and have your child create words by

placing different initial sound cards in front of the final sound card. The words can be nonsense words as long as they can sound them out.

4. Each time they create a new word they should sound it out. Provide

assistance when needed.

Standards At Home Sight Word Memory


Reads common irregular sight words. Background Information: There are many English words that you cannot sound out. You have to just memorize words like “said, was, or would”. These are called sight words. When asked, your child should be able to recite these words in 3 seconds or less. In this memory game, your child will practice his sight words and have a lot of fun as well. What To Do: 1. Get a stack of index cards. Choose 15 of the given sight words to use in

each game. Write the words on the index cards and make two sets of each card. So when you finish, you will have 30 cards, with each word written twice.

2. Spread the cards out, face down, on the floor. 3. Have your child turn over one card and read it aloud. They choose a

second card looking for the same word. Make sure they read each card aloud.

4. If they find a match, they can take both cards and continue to look for pairs. I f they do not make a match, they turn the cards back over. It is now the next person’s turn. Try to remember the position of the cards.

5. Play the game until all of the cards are matched. The player with the most matches, wins.

6. Once your child has mastered reading these cards, make a new set with the next 15 words.

Standards At Home Picture It


Reads compound words and contractions

Background Information: A compound word is two words put together to form one word. The two separate words often gives hints as to what the word means. For example day + care = daycare. In this activity your child will have fun drawing to gain a better understanding of compound words and their meaning. What To Do: 1. Pick a word from the compound word list. Have your child read the

word aloud. 2. Ask your child what two words make up the word (flower + pot =

flowerpot). 3. Write the two words as shown in the example below. Have your

child illustrate each word that makes up the compound word. Example: flower + pot = flowerpot nn


Standards At Home Contraction Memory


Reads compound words and contractions

Background Information: A contraction is created when a number of words are combined into a new word. For example, “can’t” is created by combining the two words “can” and “not”. The words are joined with an apostrophe which replaces eliminated letters. In this activity your child will use her memory skills find matches that form contractions. What To Do:

1. Cut out the given cards. Some cards have two words on them that are used to form contractions. Some cards have actual contractions on them.

2. Shuffle the cards and spread them out on the floor.

3. Have your child turn over one card and read it aloud. They

choose another card looking for the same word each time they turn over a card

4. Have your child turn over one card and read it aloud. They

choose another card trying to pair contraction cards with the two words that form that contraction.

5. If they find a match, they can take both cards and continue to

look for pairs. I f they do not make a match, they turn the cards back over. Here is an example of a match.

Standards At Home Beat the Clock

1st Grade Standard: Reading 1.16 Reads aloud with natural fluency. Background Information: Fluency is the ability to read with ease. By the end of the 1st grade, your child should be reading 60 words per minute from a 1st grade level text. Your child receives decodable books in school. These are great tools for improving fluency. Reading these each night will help your child reach the fluency benchmark. What To Do:

1. Get a decodable from your child’s teacher. This is a book on your child’s reading level that is used in class to introduce new spelling sounds.

2. Have your child read the decodable book using a timer to see

how long it takes.

3. Have them repeat reading the decodable a second time. See if they can beat their time.

4. Continue reading the same decodable each day until they read

it without stopping at any word. It should sound like running water rather that dripping water.

1st Grade Standard: Reading 1.16 Reads aloud with natural fluency. Background Information: Fluency is the ability to read with ease. By the end of the 1st grade, your child should be reading 60 words per minute from a 1st grade level text. Knowing sight words with automatically will improve their fluency. What To Do:

1. Cut out the sight word cards provided below.

2. Shuffle a stack of sight words and place them in a pile between two players.

3. Flip the top card over. Whoever can say the word correctly first,

gets the card. (If an adult is playing with a child, the adult should wait 3 seconds before answering.)

4. When the stack is finished, count to see who was able to read

the most words.

5. The player with the most cards, wins.


Standards At Home I Told It, Now You Tell It

1st Grade Standard: Reading 2.1 Understands sequence and logical order. Background Information: Being able to retell a story’s events builds comprehension (understanding what you read). It also is important for children to be able to put events into order (sequence). Time order words are words a writer uses to tell when an event takes place in a story (i.e. first, then, next, finally, etc.). This is a simple activity that helps your child master the important skill of sequencing. What To Do:

1. Read a story to your child. 2. Have your child retell the story in his own words. Prompt them to

use time order words (first, then, next, finally, etc.) to help them sequence the events in the story.


Standards At Home What Are the Steps?

1st Grade Standard: Reading 2.1 Understands sequence and logical order. Background Information: Being able to retell a story’s events builds comprehension. It also is important for children to be able to put events into a logical order (sequence). Time order words are words a writer uses to indicate when an event takes place in a story (i.e. first, then, next, finally, etc.). In this activity, your child will demonstrate their understanding of sequencing by describing how to do something in a logical, sequential order. What To Do:

1. Have your child explain how to do something they like to do for example, they can explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or how to get to school.

2. Encourage them to use time order words as they explain (i.e. first,

next, then, finally, etc.)


Standards At Home Compare and Weigh

1st Grade Standard: Measurement and Geometry 1.1 Compares length, weight, and volume of two or more objects. Background Information: In the 1st grade, your child learns to look at two or more objects and compare their weight, length and volume. Exploring the weight, length, and volume of objects at home can help students be more successful in school. Weight is how much something weighs. Length is how long something is and volume is the amount of space an object takes up. In this activity, your child will compare the weight of two objects. What To Do:

1. Pick two non-breakable objects and have your child predict which object is heavier. Ask her why she thinks that the object is heavier.

2. Take both objects and have your child hold them out in front of

them at the same height. Then drop the objects at the same time.

3. The object that hits the ground first, is the heavier object. 4. Repeat three times to ensure accuracy. 5. To reinforce your conclusion, use a scale to determine the true

weight of each object.


Standards At Home Compare and Measure

1st Grade Standard: Measurement and Geometry 1.1 Compares length, weight, and volume of two or more objects. Background Information: In the 1st grade, your child learns to look at two or more objects and compare their weight, length and volume. Exploring the weight, length, and volume of objects at home can help students be more successful in school. Weight is how much something weighs. Length is how long something is and volume is the amount of space an object takes up. In this activity, your child will determine and compare the length of two objects. What To Do:

1. Pick two objects and have your child predict which object is longer.

2. Take a piece of string and measure the first object by cutting the

string the same length as the object. 3. Take that same piece of string and compare that piece of string

to the second object. 4. Have your child determine if their prediction was correct. 5. You may also use a measuring tape or a ruler and actually

measure both objects to reinforce your conclusion.


Standards At Home What Time Is It?

1st Grade Standard: Measurement and Geometry 1.2 Can tell time to the nearest half-hour and relate time to events. Background Information: In the 1st grade, your child will be learning to tell time to the nearest ½ hour. So they should be able to tell you when it is 1:30, 8:30, or 10:00. It is also important that they are able to associate specific events with particular times of the day. For example, they should know that bedtime is at 8:30 and identify for themselves when it is time to go to bed. In this activity, your child will practice telling time to the nearest ½ hour in a fun and interactive way. What To Do:

1. Get an analog clock. They are under $5.00 at WalMart. Write down a schedule for your child. Include activities like playtime, bathtime, bedtime, dinnertime, etc.

2. Write down the times you want your child to complete each

task. Use times to the nearest ½ hour (either __:30 or __:00). 3. Once you have established a schedule, they should go the

analog clock on their own, identify what time it is, and complete the tasks.

4. Gives them a quarter each time they are able to complete a

task at the correct time. 5. They can use the quarters to buy an activity or a treat. For

example, a TV show or getting a scoop of ice cream. 6. Reuse the same quarters the next time you play.

Standards At Home Bowls of Beans

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 1.1 Counts and groups objects in 1’s and 10’s. Background Information: When a child is counting or grouping objects by 1’s, they are simply counting 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. When they are counting our grouping objects by 10’s they are counting 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. Grouping items by 10’s helps students better understand number sense. In this activity, your child will practice counting objects into groups of 10. What To Do:

1. Get a piece of large construction paper from your child’s teacher.

2. Have your child count out 100 beans. 3. Then ask her to count out 10 beans and glue them in a group on

the construction paper. 4. Have her draw a circle around the group of 10 beans and write 10

under the circle. 5. Continue counting out groups of 10 beans and gluing them down.

Write 20 under the second circle, 30 under the third circle and so on. Keep going until you have 10 sets of 10 or 100 beans.


Standards At Home Hopscotch

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 1.1 Counts and groups objects in 1’s and 10’s. Background Information: When a child is counting or grouping objects by 1’s, they are simply counting 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. When they are counting our grouping objects by 10’s they are counting 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. Grouping items by 10’s helps students better understand number sense. In this activity, you will get outside and have a little fun playing Hopscotch with your child. What To Do:

1. Get some sidewalk chalk and create a Hopscotch pattern on your sidewalk, driveway or local playground.

2. Have your child count by 10’s and write a numbers in each box.

Start with 10 for the first box, 20 for the second box and so on until you reach 100. It should look like this:

10

20

30 40

50

60

70 800

90

100


3. Play Hopscotch by jumping in each square while shouting out the

numbers as you go. When you land on two numbers, shout out both numbers.


Standards At Home Number War

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 1.2 Can compare and order numbers up to 100. Background Information: In school, your child is asked to compare numbers to determine which is the greatest and which is the least. They also are given several numbers and asked to place them in order from least to greatest or from greatest to least. In this activity, you and your child will play a fun card game and practice determining which number is greater. What To Do:

1. You will need a deck of cards for this game. Remove the 10’s and face cards from the deck.

2. Have two players sit at a table or on the floor across from each

other. 3. Deal all of the cards until the deck is gone. Do not look at your

cards.

4. Both players then take two cards from the top of their pile and form the greatest number they can make. For example, if you pick up a 5 and a 9, the greatest number you can create is 95.

5. Both players show their numbers. 6. Whoever has the greater number, collects all four cards and places

them on the bottom of their stack. 7. Continue playing until one person has all of the cards.


Standards At Home Money, Money, Money

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 1.5 Understands coin value and combinations Background Information: It is important for your child to understand the value of each coin and how to count combinations of coins. In this activity, you will use coins to determine the value of coin combinations. What To Do:

1. Go over the value of each coin (quarter, dime, nickel and penny). For example, a quarter is 25 cents.

2. Have your child count coins that you place in front of them. At first,

you should use a group of the same coins. For example, 3 nickels or 4 quarters.

3. As they improve, start giving them combinations of coins. They

should always count the coins with the greatest value first. For example, if you have 2 quarters, 1 dime, and 2 nickels, you would count 25, 50, 60, 65, 70.


Standards At Home Stores R Us

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 1.5 Understands coin value and combinations Background Information: It is important for your child to understand the value of each coin and how to count combinations of coins. In this activity, you will play a fun game called “Stores R Us” that uses money and objects. What To Do:

1. Give your child a few dollars in coins. Give him some quarters, some dimes, some nickels and some pennies. The money is for the purpose of the game and your child will give it back at the end.

2. Discuss the value of each coin. Practice counting combinations of

coins before you begin playing the game.

3. Label several objects around the house with a price tag (up to $1.00).

4. Have your child pick out an item and pay you in coins for that item.

5. When your child gets good at the game, encourage him to pay

you with the fewest number of coins as possible. (For example, if and item costs 67 cents, they would pay with 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, and 2 pennies rather than 6 dimes and 7 pennies.)

6. As an extra challenge, ask your child to come up with different

combinations of coins to pay for the same object.


Standards At Home Add’em Up

1st Grade Standard: Number Sense 2.1 Knows addition and subtraction facts (sums to 20) Background Information: Your child should know their addition and subtraction facts automatically. This means they can give an answer to a problem in less than 3 seconds. In the first grade, they learn their addition facts with sums to 20. 9 + 9 has a sum of 18. Your child should be able to add any two numbers that add up to 20 or less. In this activity, you will use ordinary playing cards to help your child master addition and subtraction facts. What To Do:

1. Get a deck of cards. Remove the Aces, Jokers and face cards. Each card is worth the number on the card.

2. Have two players sit at a table or on the floor across from each

other. 3. Deal all of the cards until the deck is gone. Do not look at your

cards.

4. Place the cards faced down on the table in front of each player.

5. Without looking, each player takes a card from their deck and places it in the center of the table. Whoever can add the two numbers first, gets the two cards and places them at the bottom of their pile of cards. (Note: Give your child 3 seconds before answering.)

6. Continue playing until one player has acquired all of the cards.
