Kindergarten Curriculum
Math In math the students are introduced to counting from 0-30, number order, concepts of adding and subtracting, number writing, time, and money. We use different manipulatives (hands-on tools) to reinforce these concepts daily. Language Arts In Language Arts the emphasis is on basic phonics, writing letters, name, and simple words. Reading The students start off the year by listening to and understanding stories. They are introduced to new sight words each week and begin reading simple phrases and stories with fluency and comprehension. Social Studies The students are introduced to basic map skills. We focus on the United States at the beginning of the year where the children learn about American landmarks, customs, and the different regions of the U.S. We spend time learning about the early and Native Americans too. We also study different cultures as the year progresses. Technology Keyboarding and simple graphics Science Animals, human body, plants, seasons, weather, Astronomy, and water resources are our main topics in Science. In Kindergarten we do theme studies. Most of our themes focus on science and/or social studies. We also plan a variety of field tips that are tied into the themes we are learning about. Trips that we take may include: Curtis Apple Orchard, Hardy's Reindeer Ranch, American History Museum, Starkael Planetarium, and a zoo.
