Curriculum

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 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 able to tell time on an analog clock, understand the concept of AM and PM, and identify the days of the week in chronological order. They will learn to read the hour and minute hands on an analog clock and distinguish between times in the morning (AM) and afternoon/evening (PM). For example, children will recognize that 8 AM is in the morning and 3 PM is in the afternoon.

Children will be able to recognize and locate the seven continents and the five oceans on a map or globe. They will learn the names of the continents—Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America—and the names of the oceans—Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. For example, children will be able to point out where each continent and ocean is located and describe some basic characteristics of each

Children will be able to describe and compare the properties of different types of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They will learn that solids have a fixed shape, liquids take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume, and gases spread out to fill their container.

Children will begin to explore and investigate the properties of water.They wills see how water can turn into ice when it's cold.Watch ice melt back into water when it gets warm.Play with water to see how it moves.Notice how water can turn into steam when it's hot.

Children will explore and begin to identify the physical properties and states of matter of various objects or materials. Children will investigate sinking and floating objects to learn about density and buoyancy.

Children will begin to explore and understand a greater variety of motions with objects, including rotating, spinning, and twisting. For example, they will observe how a top spins, how a wheel rotates, and how a rope twists.

Children will explore the concept of motion and use basic words to describe the speed of motion, such as "fast" and "slow." For example, they will observe and compare how different objects move at varying speeds, such as how a rolling ball can move fast or slow depending on the push it receives.

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).
