What's happening in the Kindergarten Classroom?

We know that as parents you often wonder exactly what your child is learning in school. Students frequently "forget" what they've done or may just not want to be conversational after a long day at school. Here are some of the concepts being taught at this time:

MATH:
Number recognition, counting orally, sorting, graphing

READING:
Matching uppercase letters to lowercase letters, sight words, predicting words based on context, genre, and retelling.

WRITING:
Drawing a picture for a story (quick sketch), labeling, stretching out words to hear their sounds, writing sentences with familiar words, matching writing to a picture.


HANDWRITING:
Frog Jump Letters: E,F,P,D,B,R,N and numbers 1,2,3.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Holidays (Thanksgiving), mapping, past and present

SCIENCE:
Sorting materials
