Language Arts and Social StudiesReading and writing begin the first day of school. You can support your child as a reader and writer by: -reading with your child every day -provide your child with writing supplies, such as pencils, pens, crayons, and notepaper. -model reading at home. Children become interested in reading and writing when their work reflects real purpose. Have your son or daughter write or draw a shopping list, a letter to a friend or birthday card. Changing writing tools, such as providing a whiteboard, sidewalk chalk, or using an iPad or iPhone also improves student engagement. |
Math and ScienceEarly math and science lessons begin with understanding who we are and how we learn. During the first weeks of school, students will learn what a learner looks like and sounds like as expected behaviors are modeled and identified in the classroom.
Successful project based learning depends upon students understanding and defining the terms: -creativity -collaboration -cooperation -communication -critical thinking The first few weeks of school will lay the foundation for these skills which will be used throughout the remainder of the school year. |
