What We Are Learning

Our Reading Program: HMH Into Reading
We use a program called HMH Into Reading to help your child grow as a reader and writer. This curriculum is designed to build strong reading skills in fun and engaging ways! Each week, we explore exciting stories, new vocabulary, and important lessons about letters, sounds, and words.

Students learn through songs, games, hands-on activities, and read-alouds. They practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing every day. The program also supports social-emotional learning and encourages a love for books.

Most importantly, Into Reading meets your child where they are and helps them grow at their own pace. We’re excited to partner with you to build strong, confident readers!

Our Writing Program: Handwriting Without Tears
In Kindergarten, we use a program called Handwriting Without Tears to help children learn to write letters and numbers the fun and easy way! This program uses music, movement, hands-on tools, and simple language to teach proper letter formation and pencil grip.

Students learn to build letters using wood pieces, trace with their fingers, and write on paper step-by-step. We focus on making writing comfortable and fun—without the tears! It’s designed just right for little hands and helps children feel confident and successful as they begin their writing journey.

With Handwriting Without Tears, we’re helping students develop strong fine motor skills and a love for writing from the very start!

Our Math Program: Math Expressions
We use a program called Math Expressions by Heinemann to help your child build strong math skills through hands-on learning and problem solving. In Kindergarten, students explore numbers, shapes, patterns, and basic addition and subtraction using tools like counters, drawings, and math games.

This program encourages children to think like mathematicians—explaining their thinking, trying different strategies, and learning by doing. It’s a blend of traditional math and creative problem solving that supports all kinds of learners.

With Math Expressions, students grow in confidence, build a deep understanding of math concepts, and most importantly—have fun with math every day!

Science, Social Studies and Health

In our STEAM units children learn about structures and functions of buildings and parts of our bodies. They also learn about themselves and the world around them. We also expose children to informational text in our themes such as dinosaurs, oceans, plants, insects, frogs and chickens, Presidents, and holidays around the world. Most of our Science and Social Studies is taught through our weekly themes.
