Curriculum
Writing Narratives with Sequenced Events
Children will write narratives in which they recount at least two sequenced events, include details about what happened, use temporal words to indicate the order of events, and conclude their story with a sense of closure. For example, they might write a story about a trip to the zoo by stating, "First, we saw the lions sleeping under the trees. Next, we watched the monkeys swinging. We had fun at the zoo."
Numbers
Children will be able to count to ten.
Child knows number names and the count sequence.
Calculating 10 More or 10 Less
Children will learn to mentally calculate 10 more or 10 less than a given two-digit number without counting explicitly. They will also be able to explain the reasoning behind their mental calculations.
Counting Backword from 100
Children will learn to count backwards from 100.
Digital Tools for Publishing
Children will use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish their writing with the help of adults. For example, a 6-year-old may use a simple word processor to type a story about a school field trip. An adult can help them insert pictures or change the font. The child can also collaborate with classmates by combining their stories into a digital class book, using software that allows multiple users to contribute.

Children will be able to sort single-digit numbers into even and odd categories. Additionally, they will be able to identify even and odd numbers within two-digit numbers.
Ordinal Numbers
Children will develop the ability to use and understand verbal ordinal terms from first to twentieth.
Representing Addition and Subtraction with Multiple Methods
Children will learn to represent addition and subtraction using various methods including objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (such as claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, mathematical expressions, and equations.
Solving Word Problems with Addition and Subtraction
Children will be able to solve addition and subtraction word problems and perform addition and subtraction within 10 by using objects, drawings, or other visual aids to represent the problem.
Composing and Decomposing Numbers
Children will learn to compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and additional ones, utilizing methods such as objects, drawings, or verbal explanations to demonstrate and understand this decomposition.
