Math:

Shapes, patterns, numbers, counting, measurement, graphing, and estimation, etc.  These skills and concepts are incorporated into fun activities such as calendar discussion, math tubbing, graphing objects, 100th day of school activities and celebration, etc.

Language:

Letter identification, letter sound recognition, rhyming words, concepts of print, retelling of stories, etc.  We will read, read, read and will implement a read at home program that will allow children to check out classroom books to read at home.   At the end of the year, the children should be able to read a Level 3-4 book (a book with simple text and picture support).

Writing:

Recording student dictation, guiding children to use letters and sounds to form words that communicate their thoughts and ideas, promoting writing through class activities—journals, write the room, list making, class books, etc.  Children also have an opportunity to participate in our school postal system—Wee Deliver.  Through this program, children can write letters to others at our school (staff and students).  At the end of the year, the children should be able to independently write a simple sentence using a combination of conventional and temporary spelling.  They should also be familiar with simple rules of grammar (spacing, punctuation, capital and lower case letters).

Science and Social Studies:

All About Me, Changes in Fall, Safety, Family and Traditions, Seasonal Changes, Dental Health, Plants, Famous Americans, Farms, Communities, Oceans, etc.  Science and Social Studies skills are incorporated while studying various units through the school year.  Learning centers that provide supporting activities are open daily.  Field trips throughout the year (bus and walking) provide science and social studies enrichment.
