Curriculum

Children will understand that a force is a push or a pull, and it's what makes things around us move or stop.
Children will be able to explain that the strength or direction of a push or pull (force) can change the motion of an object (speed, direction, distance).

Children will learn about the different forms of land and water on Earth. They will identify and describe various landforms such as mountains, hills, valleys, and plains. Additionally, children will recognize bodies of water, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Children will practice pronouncing the months of the year and learn to arrange the months in the correct order. They will become familiar with the names of the months—January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December—and use these terms to describe yearly events and activities

Children will be able to identify common gardening tools and describe their functions. They will learn to recognize tools like a shovel, rake, watering can, and hoe. Children will understand how each tool helps with different gardening tasks. For example, they will learn that a shovel is used for digging, a rake is used for gathering leaves, a watering can is used for watering plants, and a hoe is useful for removing weeds.

Children will be able to identify and describe different types of motion, including straight line, zigzag, back-and-forth, round-and-round, fast, and slow. They will understand that the way an object moves depends on how it is pushed or pulled. Children will provide real-life examples of different kinds of motion and will plan and conduct investigations to compare the effects of different strengths or directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Children will explore the Law of Gravity by investigating how objects are pulled toward the ground unless something holds them up. They will observe and conduct simple experiments to see how gravity affects different objects. For example, children will drop various objects to see how they always fall down due to gravity.

Children will practice pronouncing the days of the week and arrange them in the correct order. They will become familiar with the names of the weekdays.Children will practice pronouncing the months of the year and arrange them in the correct order. They will become familiar with the names of the months.

Children will be introduced to the names of different dinosaurs and their meanings. They will understand that the size of dinosaurs ranged from very small to very large. This will help children understand the differences between dinosaurs and other animals.

Children will use materials to design a device that solves a specific problem by mimicking how plants or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. For example, children might create protective clothing or equipment by mimicking the hard shells of turtles or the scales of animals.

Children will learn to identify and name basic parts of the body (such as head, arms, legs, hands, and feet). They will also begin to understand simple functions of each body part (for example, hands are for holding, legs are for walking)
