"The bridge from algorithms to programming can be a short one if students understand the difference between planning out a sequence and encoding that sequence into the appropriate language. This activity will help students gain experience reading and writing in shorthand code."

This resource is a list of picture books that support math content for early learners. The list includes links to purchase books and to access online read-alouds, as well as suggested activities to extend learning both in the classroom and at home.

Teachers reads the story, Five Little Speckled Frogs, by Nikki Smith (published by Nikki Smith Books, 2006). Students explore counting to five using cubes.  This lesson helps build the concept of 5.  Appropriate for grades K and could also be used with 4K.

Teacher Judy Heumann dedicated her life to fighting for disability rights and was one of the architects of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), changing U.S. society forever.

A Kindergarten Literacy Block schedule including Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop, Word Study and Shared Reading/Writing. The schedules were created to creatively problem solve around challenges related to incorporating both a Reader's Workshop and Shared Reading/Writing. The schedules provide a shortened Reader's Workshop in the beginning of the year. The second semester schedule allows for Shared Reading/Writing two days a week and longer Reader's Workshop 3 days a week. The schedule allows teachers to still incorporate Shared Reading and Writing while providing time to extend student's reading stamina through a longer Reader's Workshop.

This series of 5 high-quality, standards-aligned, inquiry-based activities and two environmental STEM challenge activities have been field-tested by kindergarten students and families of Wequiock Children's Center for Environmental Science during Safer At Home orders. These activities encourage students to use natural areas around their homes and in their neigbhorhoods as they improve their science observation and reasoning skils as they explore the science of pushes and pulls in nature. The materials used are ones generally available at home and the activites require little preparation on the part of caregivers. Created as a part of a WISELearn OER Innovation project, Connect, Explore, and Engage: Using the Environment as the Context for Science Learning was a collaboration of the Wequiock Children's Center for Environmental Science and the Wisconsin Green Schools Network. One of the goals of the project was to create standards-aligned lessons that utilize the outdoor spaces of the school (as well as those of the students' homes).  Each section of this resource is an individual activity. While each activity builds on the previous ones, it is possible to use them individually.The title image was used with permission and is courtesy of Joe Riederer.

Kindergarten Lesson involving Math modeling practices including: Notice and wondering, quantities and assumptions, sharing of student ideas, what if questions, and other key components.
