Some of the things that students will be expected to master during their kindergarten year are: recognizing colors, shapes, numbers, letters, letter sounds, reading sight words, the proper formation of letters, and the writing of their first and last name. Students will participate in many hands-on science experiments such as, watching the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly; hands-on math activities with manipulatives, such as graphing, patterning and sorting; hands-on activities with letters such as, writing in shaving cream, forming letters with objects that begin with the letter of study, (M made from marshmallows, G made from green glitter, O made from oats). We will also have “Fun Days” that go with the letter of study such as H-hat day, S-silly sock day, and P-pajama day.

All these and more wonderful things will be taught through fun units or themes of study: America, Texas, Fall, Holidays around the World, and many more. We will also celebrate with special days for each holiday, 100^th Day of School Celebration, and Western Day.
