| Pinnell/Fountas Phonics Program. This is the core of our Kindergarten Program. The first 9 weeks we focus on letter knowledge, learning how to listen and respond to stories, rhymes, conversations, discussions and one and two- step instructions. Students will know that print is read and written left to right and top to bottom. They will need to understand that written words are a sequence of letters separated by spaces. Students will also learn the different parts of a book. These are just a few skills that are taught during the first 9 weeks. We teach these skills during our opening in the morning, Literacy Centers, Phonics lessons, Building Block time and Learning Centers. To support your child at home you should have your child listen to you read daily, have them answer questions you ask, sing songs and rhymes, talk about letters and words around you example: McDonalds, HEB, Walmart. Draw and create with pencils, crayons, paper, and scissors. Play letter games with magnetic letters on the refrigerator. | TERC Math
Investigations guides the Kindergarten math program. It is a hands on
approach which is developmentally appropriate for 5 & 6 year olds.
Problem solving and logical thinking are key elements. Continuing threads
are whole number, measurement, & geometry. The
first 9 weeks, our focus will be patterns & beginning geometry.
Students’ first task will be to become aware of patterns & shapes in
our world. Then, they will create their own patterns with shapes &
colors using a variety of manipulatives.

| Science | Social Studies |
| In
Kindergarten, science introduces the use of simple classroom and field
investigations. Students will identify, observe, group and explore
during these units of study.
1. Me and My World 2. Patterns of Change 3. Natural Resources and Basic Needs 4. Animals 5. Plants The first 9 weeks, our focus will be on me and my world and patterns of change. This includes the understanding that humans have the same basic characteristics, although their outsides differ. They will use their senses to observe size, shape, color and height. Students will also learn about weather, the seasons and day and night. Science is a hands-on subject of study and is one of the core elements of your child’s education.
