    We believe our kindergarteners need to learn mat using lots of manipulatives! The areas we focus on are:

    • Counting
    • Number Sense
    • Geometry
    • Joining and Separating Sets
    • Addition/Subtraction Facts

    Language Arts/ Literacy Curriculum

    Our goal is to prepare our students for the adventure of lifelong reading and writing.  Ways we immerse our students in reader's and writer's workshop are:

    • Shared Reading- A way we learn to read books together.

    • Guided Reading - This is when we read in small groups to focus on reading strategies.

    • Read Alouds - An opportunity to foster students' love of many types of literature.

    • Writing - The children write everyday.  Sometimes it may be letter formation, writing together, or journal writing.

     

    Science Curriculum

    In kindergarten we use formal science units provided by ESP.  These kits are:                                   

    •  Worm Scouts
    •  Weather
    • Pushes and Pulls

     

    We also study other science related  topics such as nutrition, weather/seasons and animals.
