We will be making a great start to the year by building our classroom community!  As we get to know each other, we will review concepts like shapes and colors, as we move into activities that reflect your child's knowledge and abilities.  In September we will be very busy as we work on the following:

Literacy: Phonemic awareness activities including rhyming; letter/sound work; listening to a variety of books and practicing our oral language skills in discussion.  Beginning writing activities that often begin with drawing in Kindergarten.

Math: Review of shapes and sorting and classifying

Social Studies: Community; community workers; seasons and apples; our world

Science: Trees and environments
