Curriculum

Children will be able to use the most frequently occurring prepositions, such as to, from, in, out, on, off, for, of, by, and with.

Children will learn to identify community helpers and understand their roles. Using interactive activities like a dress-up day where children can wear costumes representing different helpers, such as firefighters, police officers, doctors, and teachers, educators can facilitate discussions about what each helper does. Picture books featuring stories of community helpers can also be used to illustrate their day-to-day activities and how they keep our communities running smoothly. This helps children appreciate the diverse roles and contributions of each helper in their community.

Children will be able to produce and expand complete sentences in shared language activities, such as creating a story together or describing a picture as a group.

Children will learn to identify and describe significant cultural assets from different countries, such as the Eiffel Tower in France. Educators can introduce these landmarks through interactive activities like building simple models, watching short educational videos, or looking at picture books. Discussions can be encouraged on why these landmarks are important and what they represent about the country's culture. This helps children gain awareness of global identities and appreciate cultural diversity.

Children will learn to understand and respect the diverse situations of their peers. Through activities such as sharing circles, where they discuss personal interests and family traditions, and by reading books with diverse characters, children will appreciate the similarities and differences among themselves and others. Role-playing and collaborative art projects will also encourage discussions about diversity, teaching children that it's beneficial and enriching to talk about and celebrate each person’s unique background.

Children will enhance their understanding of social studies concepts through coloring activities. By using themed coloring pages related to historical events, cultural symbols, famous landmarks, and community helpers, children can visually connect with the subjects they are learning about.

Children will develop A-Z phonological awareness, visual recognition, and an understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).

Children will demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.

Children will understand how to draw most of the upper- and lowercase letters.

Children will be able to use frequently occurring nouns and verbs.
