Language
and Literacy: As your child becomes more comfortable with sound and letter relationships, teachers
will introduce beginning and ending sounds. While reading stories, your child will be asked to use critical-thinking skills
to predict outcomes.
Mathematics: Using the strong
foundation of number concepts that your child has built, the teacher will plan experiences involving critical thinking skills
such as patterning and categorizing. Your child will participate through group projects.
The
World and Me: Your child is continuing to mature, and becoming aware of actions
and consequences. Teachers will encourage your child to verbally express feelings and behaviors and to act appropriately.
Wellness: Continuing to work in
SPARK, your child will participate in physical activities that will require more body control. Your child will develop fine
and gross motor skills by taking part in age-appropriate eye-hand coordination activities.
Music: Teachers will encourage
your child to experiment with sounds and
tempo using simple instruments and clapping patterns, and by experiencing music
from various cultures.
Art: Taking art skills
to the next level, your child will participate in activities that ask for complex pictures with detailed representation and
the creation of designs using various media such as peg boards, paint, and clay and 3D models.
Foreign
Languages: With a solid foundation built in the last two years, our curriculum emphasizes
an active use of the Spanish, French and Creole language. At this level, your child will be exposed to stories and activities.
My Community: Teachers introduce symbols and people connected to certain holidays
and traditions of various cultures. Your child will also discuss the role of animals, plants and insects in our world, and
begin the study of maps and globes.
