What will my child learn in Kindergarten?
Kindergarten isn't just about the academics - we also have a huge emphasis on social emotional learning, friendships, school expectations, and emergent literacy skills to prepare students for their future in school! Here are just a few of the things we will learn:
Phonics: We’ll learn proper letters & letter sounds, and practice phonological awareness.
Reading: We’ll learn to read and develop strategies for reading.
Writing: We’ll write narrative, informational, and persuasive pieces.
Handwriting: We’ll learn proper formation of capital and lowercase letters.
Math: We’ll learn number sense and introduce addition and subtraction.
Social Studies: We’ll learn about our school and our community.
Science: We’ll learn about weather, and study plant and animal life cycles.
Social Emotional Learning: We’ll learn to work with others, problem solve, and make friends.
