KINDERGARTEN
Curriculum Focus Areas
Writing
​
Kindergarten students learn how to form uppercase and lowercase letters. They apply these skills in writing journals as they learn to write short stories and narratives with one or more lines of text. They add details to their pictures and they are taught to use simple punctuation and spell high frequency words.
Reading
​
Kindergartens are read to daily and they are taught phonological awareness skills such as rhyming, segmenting syllables in words, and identifying and using letter sounds. Throughout the year, they develop a bank of simple, high frequency words that will serve as a reading anchor (i.e. and, the, a, in, on, I, am). Kindergartners learn how to hold a book, turn the pages, read 1-3 lines of text, and share their understandings with others.
Mathematics
​
Kindergartners are introduced to the concept of whole numbers as they explore counting and quantifying numbers up to ten. They also explore shapes and the relationships among them. Math words are taught and reinforced throughout the year (i.e. longer/shorter, less than/more than, equal to.)
Science
​
Kindergartners build on early experiences observing the world around them. They explore many topics including the weather, plants and animals, sunlight, and the motion of objects.
Social Studies
​
Kindergarten students are introduced to basic concepts of history, geography, civics, and economics through thematic study relating to living, learning, and working together.
