Curriculum
Cognitive Flexibility
Children will develop the ability to adapt their behavior in response to changing environmental and task demands. They will learn to think about multiple concepts and rules simultaneously and switch between them as needed, adjusting to shifting demands, priorities, or perspectives.
Working Memory
Children will develop the ability to hold and manipulate information over short periods, applying it to different tasks.
Introduction to Early Coding and Critical Thinking
Children will develop creativity, logical thinking, and the ability to concentrate, engage children in activities that challenge them to solve problems, think critically, and focus on tasks for extended periods. These activities can include puzzles, strategy games, art projects, and reading, which help strengthen cognitive abilities and enhance mental focus.
Following Movement Directions
Children will learn the importance of listening and following directions by playing left, right, forward, back, jump, turn around, touch the ground, turn, sit down, stand up, clap your hands
Measurement Units
Children will informally explore the concept of measurement using standard units. They will become familiar with the metric unit of measure, the meter, as well as the US standard unit, the foot.
Analyze and Compose Shapes
Children will learn to compose two-dimensional shapes such as rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles, as well as three-dimensional shapes like cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders.
Comparing Attributes of 2D and 3D Shapes
Children will learn to analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes of various sizes and orientations. They will use informal language to describe the shapes' similarities, differences, and individual parts.
Identify 2D and 3D Shapes
Children will identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three- dimensional (“solid”). (Squares, Circles, Triangles, Rectangles, Hexagons, Cubes, Cones, Cylinders, And Spheres).
Problem Solving
Children will be able to think and reason logically, apply mathematical knowledge in a variety of problem-solving situations, and devise novel solutions.
Pictographs
Children will learn to interpret data displayed in pictographs by answering simple questions. They will identify the category with the most items, compare quantities between categories by determining how many more are in one category compared to another, and calculate the total number of items across two categories. This will enhance their ability to analyze and draw conclusions from visual data representations.
