Thematic Approach to the School Year
The "Everyday Math" program is used to teach kindergarten math skills (patterning, counting, geometry, measurement, story problems, etc.)               

Reading readiness skills are taught using phonics and 'the letter of the week'.

Below is a sample of the units I use for a thematic approach to learning all curriculum areas (reading, writing, science, social studies, the arts).

  • Getting to Know Our School and Each Other
  • Colors and Shapes 
  • Fire Safety / Career Visitors
  • Fall Fun
  • Family / Thanksgiving
  • Winter Holidays
  • Dinosaurs
  • Solar System / Planets
  • Winter Carnival
  • Friendship / Valentine's Day
  • Healthy Habits
  • Folktales & Fairytales / Storytelling
  • Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes
  • Spring / Earth Day / Recycling
  • Plants and Seeds
  • Pets
  • Transportation / Water Safety
