LANGUAGE ARTS AND READING

We will use the Fundations series, by Wilson Language Basics.  This series focuses on letters and sounds for the first 12 weeks of school.  Every week several letters are practiced.  Each letter has a specific keyword that is associated with it.  For example, the letter Tt’s keyword is a top (the toy).  All the letters, including long and short vowels, have keyword cards that are used daily to reinforce the letters, sounds and keywords.  Children will also work on sight words at home.  It is the expectation that each child will know 150 sight words by the end of the year.  All this is incorporated into journaling, which we will begin after the first of the year.

MATH
We use the Kindergarten set for the MacMillan/McGraw Hill series.  We will work on writing numbers, patterns, sorting, telling time, money and addition/subtraction to name just a few of the topics.  All the chapters use hands-on manipulatives or activities to reinforce the topics.

SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES
Themes are introduced each week.  Apples, space, weather, dinosaurs, nutrition, dental health, and seeds/plants are just a sampling of the topics that we will cover.  We will learn songs, read stories and do activities to reinforce the concepts that the children are expected to learn.

RELIGION
The children will listen to a bible story each week.  We will learn bible songs and do activity sheets to reinforce the stories.
