| W.K.2 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic. |
| W.K.3 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened. |
| W.K.5 With guidance and support from adults, respond to questions and suggestions from peers and add details to strengthen writing as needed. |
| W.K.6 With guidance and support from adults, explore a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers. |
| W.K.7 Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of books by a favorite author and express opinions about them). |
| W.K.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. |
Language Arts: Speaking and Listening
| SL.K.1 Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups. |
| SL.K.1.a Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion). |
| SL.K.1.b Continue a conversation through multiple exchanges. |
| SL.K.2 Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood. |
| SL.K.3 Ask and answer questions in order to seek help, get information, or clarify something that is not understood. |
| SL.K.4 Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide additional detail. |

Mathematics: Geometry
| K.G.1 Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. |
| K.G.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. |
| K.G.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three dimensional ("solid"). |
| K.G.4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). |
| K.G.5 Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. |
| K.G.6 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?" |
