This year in Kindergarten the children will be learning many things, these are some of the subjects they will be working on.

Reading Workshop : Launching reading with STAR books, children will listen to many stories that are read by the teachers.  They will learn how to act out and retell the stories that they hear.

Writing Workshop : Launching writing workshop.  Students will be learning how to write small moments about themselves.  They will think of different things that they have done and they will draw pictures and write as best as they can to tell the story.

Social Studies : Students will be learning about the school community.  Who works in the schools and who is in a school with the children.  They will learn about the different roles that people play in the school.

Fundations : Students will be learning the letters in lower case and upper case.  They will learn the sound of each letter and how to write the letters correctly.  We do not go in alphabetical order, we go in the order that is the easiest for the children to learn.  

Math : Chapter 1, students will be learning the numbers 0-5
They will learn how to read the number in number form and word form, they will learn how to make groups of numbers up to five and count the groups.  They will learn what a five frame is and how to use it to help them with their math.
