The Kindergarten Curriculum

 

Language Arts

Your child will begin to understand that letters have sounds and that together those sounds form words and carry meaning. They will have fun sharing their ideas and experiences, forming letters, printing their names and playing with the new words they learn. 

 

Math 
Patterns are everywhere! Your child will use objects and pictures to describe quantities of things up to 10. They’ll explore creative ways to solve problems involving numbers, patterns and 3-D objects, and they’ll connect numbers to their everyday life. 
 
Science
What do I see, smell and hear in my community? How do I shape the environment? Kindergarten children explore materials, build structures and use technology to explore, investigate and describe their world. They see similarities and differences and become aware of how one action can cause something else. 

Social Studies 
Your child will develop a strong sense of identity, self-esteem and belonging by exploring their environment and sharing stories. They will see themselves as unique and discover the connections they have with others. I know how to act and how to work and play with others. Your child will develop ways to express their feelings positively and to show respect and care for others. Trying new things and taking risks give them confidence in their ability to learn so they take responsibility for completing activities. 

Physical Education/Health and Career Education 
A healthy body is part of a healthy life. Your child will begin to develop a love for physical activity through movement, games and activities. They will use a variety of equipment and see that they have the power to make healthy food 
choices and play safely. 

Fine Arts
Art, music and dance give your child ways to express their ideas and feelings, to bring their imagination to life and to see their creativity in a variety of forms. Your child will respond to objects and art, explore music and dance, and develop confidence through performance.
