Curriculum The kindergarten curriculum
consists of Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Our curriculum follows the Common Core Standards/Florida State Standards, providing your child with a well-rounded and complete education.
Math
Go Math! Series Three Big Ideas:
– Number and Operations– Geometry and Patterns– Measurement and Time
Homework For the first two weeks you will focus on shoe tying and helping your child learn
their phone number and address.
Your child’s teal binder is their homework binder.
Your child’s homework binder must come to school on a daily basis.
Beginning week three we will begin our homework routine for the remainder of the year. Math: The homework book will remain at home all year. You will tear out
the homework daily, guide your child in completing it and insert it into the black binder to return to school. If the book is lost/stolen you will be responsible for purchasing a new one.
Reading/Language Arts: There will be a weekly packet inserted into the black binder. Students will complete the packet daily.
LEAP/After Care Programs: If your child completes their homework at an afterschool care program they may keep their math books in their book bags.
