Recipe For Reading- New program featuring letters and their sounds and CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) words .It is a multi sensory approach to learning phonics.

 

Writer's Workshop   

Writing has been a part of kindergarten for some time. This year we are following the Lucy Calkins approach to teaching writing .  We recently had our first publishing party.  It was a great success. Our young authors have shown enthusiasm for writing!

Everyday Math- Our second year with this program. Plenty of hands on counting, sorting, patterning  and measuring.
