What we are learning?
For the first month of school we will mostly be learning about school and practicing with routines and procedures, but we will start getting into the following topics!
Math (SOL Focus: K.8, K.1ab, K.2ab): In math we will begin by focusing on using a calendar, talking about days and months, counting and writing numbers 0-20, and comparing numbers.
Reading (SOL Focus: K.1, K.3, K.4, K.5, K.7, K.11, K.12): In reading we will begin by focusing on learning all the letters of the alphabet, printing the alphabet (lowercase and uppercase), printing first and last names, recognizing rhyming words, drawing and labeling pictures, and using oral language and listening skills.
Science (SOL Focus: K.2): In Science we will begin by exploring our five senses and using sensory words to describe the world around us.
Social Studies (SOL Focus: K.10): In Social Studies we will spend the first part of the year focusing on learning about citizenship in the classroom. We will practice taking responsibility, following rules, being honest and kind in the classroom.
