Pre-Kindergarten (must be 4-years old by August 31)
Literacy
Enjoying Stories Together
Pre-K students “Jump into Books” together. They explore picture books and share their own thoughts and experiences related to the story. Students build pre-literacy skills. They identify sounds, rhymes and patterns and make “Meaningful Marks” through pictures, letters, and words. Giving clear messages and listening to others are key skills for Pre-K students.
Math
In Pre-K there is strong focus on number sense as students play with math concepts through blocks, manipulatives, puzzles, patterns and dramatic play. Students begin to recognize and build numbers 0–10. They count for a purpose, measure and compare amounts. They engage in sorting, sequencing, patterns and making shapes of all kinds.
