Kindergarten focuses on all the foundational skills in Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies while following the Ohio Learning Standards and using Ready Curriculum in Reading and Math.

They will demonstrate an understanding of spoken words, learn and use new vocabulary words, read fiction and informational text while using basic text features to further develop literacy learning, and begin to read with accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
For math, students in kindergarten will gain a strong number sense; identify and show different ways to make numbers up to 20; count to 100; add and subtract within 10; learn and demonstrate how things are measured; sort and compare things by putting them in groups; and name, compare and make different shapes.
