K2 Learning Resources

Reading/Writing

Kindergarten students’ second reading unit will span from November through the end of January. In this unit, Animals and Habitats, students’ natural curiosity opens a door to deep learning; studying some animals that live in the Boston vicinity (frogs and owls) teaches children more about their local environment, while learning about animals found farther away (salmon and wolves) expands their horizons. The unit is composed of three shorter studies: Fish and Frogs, Owls, and Wolves. In each study, children explore and learn to differentiate between fiction and informational texts.
