North Dakota First Grade Common Core!The Next Generation
Strand: Language
Cluster: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
Topic: Vocabulary Development
Standard: L.1.6
Use words and phrases acquired through
conversations, reading and being read to,
and responding to texts, including using
frequently occurring conjunctions to signal
simple relationships (e.g., I named my
hamster Nibblet because she nibbles too
much because she likes that).
Example comes from National Common
Core
I Can:
• Put two little sentences together in
one sentence
Notes:
Tasks:
• Teachers model using conjunctions by providing
two sentences and then connecting the two
sentences with a conjunction (but, and,
because).For example, I want to play after
school. I have soccer practice. Sentence with
conjunction: I want to play after school, but I
have soccer practice.
Students then practice orally or in writing with a
partner.
